A catch phrase will go here soon.

Howard Stern Bit Torrents and Bryant Park

5/26/2004

bryant park 2

I’m in Bryant Park for the second day today.

For the past two years I have always said that the next company I did after Silicon Alley Reporter/Venture Reporter would be virtual. Man, I never wanted to have to write a $40,000 rent check every month ever again.

The working in Bryant Park experiment is now in day two and despite the chill in the air I’ve solved some major issues. The two biggest issues are the homeless people asking for money and the noise created by trucks and sirens.

howard sternIn a stoke of genius I’ve solved both: noise cancellations head phones and downloading the Howard Stern show off of Bit Torrent sans commercials.

Now, the homeless people don’t bother asking me for money because I’ve got huge silly headphones on and the noise from the street is 100% gone thanks to Howard and these $99 Brookstone headphones.

It is very strange to look up from the laptop and not hear any noise coming from the hundreds of people and of cars streaming all around me.

If you’re looking for Howard Stern Bit Torrents I do a google search or check out Suprnova.org.

The other side effect of the Bryant Park schedule is that now people are IMing me setting up meetingat the park.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
