tech stars
do you have that entrepreneurial itch that you can?t shake? when i was coming out of undergraduate school, i knew i to be an entrepreneur but i had no outlet to explore this desire. i took a job working in my field of mechanical engineer which i enjoyed, but @ the time i really to explore my idea of an online clified system (this was 1989). i convinced my dad that it was a good idea but it pretty much ended there. hmm? imagine if i had a chance to explore this concept? perhaps ebay would have been founded earlier
well, today there is no excuse for not pursuing your dream. there are plenty of options out there and thanks to the open tubes on the internet those options are easy to find.
one of the best options for young, aspiring entrepreneurs is techstars. this is an amazing opportunity to nurture your ideas and learn from the best. you will be exposed to brilliant folks who have ?been there and done that?. and to top it off, all the people involved in techstars are good people!
the founder of techstars, david cohen, is one of the brightest tech minds i have ever met, and he is down-right a generous and kind human being. don?t get me wrong though, david will not hold back and will let you know what?s on his mind and that is another trait that i admire and aspire to replicate. you?ll also get introduced to folks like brad feld ? i have not had an opportunity to work too closely with brad, but when you hear him speak and recognize the legacy he is creating in the boulder tech scene you realize this is a special individual and you should pay close attention. the opportunity to learn from folks like this is on par with a degree from a top notch university, is condensed into one summer, and you get a little t of cash to boot.
if you are thinking about techstars stop now and just apply. do it and thank me later! the application deadline is coming fast - http://www.techstars.org/apply/

cancun, mexico vacations from jfk $387
good to know: the cancun el zone sits on an island connected by two bridges. while the main damage from wilma took place here, if you go now, you wonâ??t see a lot of destruction. be prepared, however, to see evidence of reconstruction and rebuilding. if you are concerned about noise intruding on the sounds of the waves lapping on the shore, the best policy is to always to call ahead (or venture to the mayan riviera, which did not suffer as much damage). where the locals go: while itâ??s hard to pry yourself away from blue lagoons, tequila bars, and caribbean beaches, head outside the el zone to downtown cancun for a glimpse into a more authentic version of mexico. along tulum avenue, a souvenir-filled flea market flourishes with handicrafts. and you wonâ??t go hungry on jaxchilan avenue, where la paria, perritos, and la placita serve up tacos and quesadillas with a smile. place we love, even if itâ??s touristy: itâ??s worth pulling yourself away from the el pool for xcaret. by day, it teems with watery adventures, like swimming with dolphins and snorkeling along a spectacular underground river so clear, itâ??s crystal. at night, enjoy dinner and a riveting show filled with mexican music and dance, both ancient and modern, including a fiery version of hockey thatâ??ll leave you on the edge of your seat. local tipple: tequila! thereâ??s the margarita on the rocks or blended, with or without salt. orange juice and grenadine make the tequila sunrise a sweeter potion, and we think they taste just as splendid at sunset. and thereâ??s always the slammer: simply lick salt, throw back a s, and a lemon until all worries disappear. feeling brave? you know you secretly want to try the worm–nowâ??s your chance.

learning spanish in argentina
i always loved the magic atmosphere of the south america, with such wonderful landscapes that includes both great seashores and beautiful mountain zones. oh and if you’re a man, don’t forget the cute latina wo isn’t even so far away from the united states, just a few hours of airplane.
the main problem though is the language: spanish isn’t really easy to learn, and you know - i am a t lazy too, so i always delayed this trip
luckily a friend suggested me a very interesting way to learn it by attending some spanish courses in buenos aires , which was also one of the town i had in mind to visit! another good solution to learn is thanks to the possility of internships argentina .
i am really thinking to take advantage of those possilities, maybe this summer when i’ll have finished my regular school, and i’ll have more free time to learn a new language, which is always a good thing to do, both for your curriculum and for pleasure.
