This is an absolutely great idea - I'll get on it

Agreed, although I find a big disconnect between what I'm genuinely interested in and the start-up scene here in London/Europe and turned down a few startup offers ultimately for that reason. May be naive but with a visa but there is generally much more exciting opportunity (purely around startups) in US and SV in general - and the visa is what I'm missing and grad school would deliver.

What debt?

I have - infact I'm just at the end of going through one now

Going back to the idea of the Bay Area (which is somewhere I believe I will end up somehow), will it help me a lot to be in the country? Could anyone manage to get anything done bombing it to the valley on a tourist visa? What would you do if you were in my situation?

Apologies for the long post, it's a situation that I'm really questioning and struggling to answer. The tuned-in wisdom of you guys on HN would help a lot!

This would be a pleasure - send it my way (with a brief explanation of the project)!

Sure. Drop me an email at jamesstirrat.com and let's talk.

Great idea. In the best spirit, any horrendously designed OS projects that you have in mind?

Hey! Haven't used blender per se but is very similar to what I have used, and it's free. Shoot me an email at me@jamesstirrat.com and let's get started.
