A big welcome to Michael R. Underwood who is here counting down the Top 10 Pop Culture References in Celebromancy and celebrating the release of Celebromancy, Ree Reyes #2 (published on July 15th, 2013 by Pocket Star). Want to win a copy? Enter via the widget below.
Michael R. Underwood's Top 10 Top 10 Pop Culture References in Celebromancy
When I asked Abigail about doing a guest post, she suggested a 'Top 10 Favorite Pop Culture References" for Celebromancy, which was about as fun and perfect a topic as I could ask for.
Pop culture references aren't just a sideline in the Ree Reyes series, they're crucial plot points. Or at least, some of them are. The list I made are a mix of 'references that were fun' and ones that held a lot of story weight.
Michael R. Underwood
Mike lives in Baltimore with his girlfriend, an ever-growing army of books, and a super-team of dinosaur figurines and stuffed animals. In his rapidly-vanishing free time, he studies historical martial arts and makes homemade pizza.
One copy of Celebromancy by Michael R. Underwood
Available on July 15th, 2013 by Pocket Star
Fame has a magic all its own in the no-gossip-barred follow-up to Geekomancy. Ree Reyes gets her big screenwriting break, only to discover just how broken Hollywood actually is.
Things are looking up for urban fantasista Ree Reyes. She's using her love of pop culture to fight monsters and protect her hometown as a Geekomancer, and now a real-live production company is shooting her television pilot script.
But nothing is easy in show business. When an invisible figure attacks the leading lady of the show, former child-star-turned-current-hot-mess Jane Konrad, Ree begins a school-of-hard-knocks education in the power of Celebromancy.
Attempting to help Jane Geekomancy-style with Jedi mind tricks and X-Men infiltration techniques, Ree learns more about movie magic than she ever intended. She also learns that real life has the craziest plots: not only must she lift a Hollywood-strength curse, but she needs to save her pilot, negotiate a bizarre love rhombus, and fight monsters straight out of the silver screen. All this without anyone getting killed or, worse, banished to the D-List.

This is a wonderful giveaway. I have listened to Geekomancy on Audible but I haven't got around to purchasing the book. It would be awesome to win this book plus I would only need to buy the first book. I would love reading the second book in the series. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone.
Haven't got my copy of Celebromancy yet, but I sure loved Geekomancy and fully intend to keep up with the series.
The Rafflecopter question is "What's your fave pop culture reference in a book." So of course I'm going to ignore the rules and give you the most recent TV ref that made me shriek–when Linda Hamilton shows up on "Chuck" holds out her hand and says, "Come with me if you want to live. Awesome!
These books are new to me. How did I miss them? They've gone straight on my TBR list.
Any pop culture references I'd see wouldn't ring a bell unless it was 30 or 40 years old. Yeap I'm an ancient who loves reading this genre. I'm also a retired geek. I was the systems admin for a day trading firm on Wall St. I'd love to win this and share the book with my granddaughter.
I like when the characters watch the same TV shows that I do or did growing up.
I really need to read more.. I don't really know any recently, however the one about Leverage made me rage inside, because I miss Leverage so much!
It's the slang/semantics that young demographics used. It is certainly different from my era.
I like when the characters watch the same tv shows or like the a song that I like, or even read an author that I like. Thanks for sharing and the giveaway. I haven't read this one yet, and it sounds great. evamillien at gmail dot com
I came across a reference to the Neil Diamond song 'The story of my life' and decided to look it up after. Ended up loving the song and using it at my wedding. It's a little cheesy, but sometimes a little cheesy is okay.
In a Mortal Instruments book maybe the first or second, Shonen Jump or Shojo Beat is mentioned and I geeked out! Ive never seen that mag referenced before and it made me happy.
Most references go over my head. Surely I'd have to pick up some of them if I read this book!
I can't recall any references. What does that say about me?
I actually can't recall a lot of pop-culture in books that I have read recently, the books sound like a series I would enjoy reading.
I don't know. I really not think about them, all i know was i enjoyed read a book.
I love the gee-gnomes on the slippery slope to hell in Gina X. Grant's Reluctant Reaper series.
When I found a book with a reference from Harry Potter it is in the same time weird and awesome! I love!
star wars references
i just love pop culture references and spoofs in UF books.
this series sound great and will be going on my wish list
thanks for the great contest !

Here a short book prologue draft I made quite a while ago
The evening breeze swept through the streets of the small settlement. There was no more traffic in the little, sleepy village. Another breeze swept up some leaves, whirling them through the air, and past rows of houses, with people inside - people preparing supper, watching TV, or having a little friday grill party. So nobody saw or heard the stranger appear on the street, swept in with the leaves. Nobody saw the dark figure with the hood, looking to and fro.
Nobody noticed him walk through the gates of the graveyard. But what were the snuggled-up citizens supposed to do? They would have stopped watching the BBC 2 evening program, if they had known that the most dangerous creature on the planet had just walked along the street.
The sun went down, and another day, just like any other day, ended with a big, glorious, flaming ball dipping into the sea. And just like any other day, the people living on the world were oblivious to the happenings out there. The stranger on the street would have just been a story for pubs, or for old people to chat about. He would have. If only anyone had seen him.

Hey guys, this is the introduction to my new puzzle game, can you please critique it? Thanks.
"They said I was dangerous.
They said I had almost compromised the whole compound.
Madness is the state of being real, I said.
They disagreed.
Friends started to notice me.
I had created something.
Not a coup, but something more.
A transformation, if you will.
The compound continually undergoes transformations.
Every single last employee that enters the ranks, they re-organize.
Re-shape, re-form. Every last entry into this cold prison I am confined to.
They locked me up. I was a rebel without a cause.
They said I would put the whole project in jeopardy.
"Define the project," I asked.
They would not give an answer.
I think it is because they did not understand what the project was.
I seek a room. A special room.
A room that houses supernatural ideas. Views. Beliefs.
If I can reach that room, I could possibly convert my fellow co-workers, change their views.
Heck, maybe even the whole compound.
When the door opened to my dark and cold cell, I was set free.
I wasn't sure whether it was an accident, or fate lending me a kind hand.
But one thing I know for sure, someone, or something opened up for me.
I must find that room, at all costs.
And when I do, chaos will ensue. And by chaos, I mean the good kind.
My mind is made."

I'm working on a little bit of a crossover between OC's and characters from Hetalia and Assassin's Creed.
Layout is that a supreme being merged the worlds together into one frigging crossover, like what you see in Warriors Orochi...
Main characters are OC, and recruit characters from Hetalia and Assassin's Creed.
In Assassin's Creed, the characters present in storyline are:
>Ezio Auditore da Firenze
>Leonardo da Vinci
>Cesare Borgia (enemy)
In Hetalia, characters include:
OC's are two guys and a girl. I'd get into detail, but it's pretty lengthy.
So my question is... Think it's too much/crazy?

Ambitious. But not crazy. Post a link when you post this. I'm interested.
Here's mine. CC is welcome.:
New Hope Art and History Museum
New Hope California
03:15hrs PSET
The battle for the fate of the world began with a robbery.
A girl of seventeen slipped silently through the museum's ventilation system.
"Ryan are you sure you disabled the security system?" she asked, speaking into the wireless headset to her older brother.
"Yes, Eliza, for the twentieth time I'm positive," Ryan replied.
"Believe me that firewall was a pain in the ass to get past."
"Fine, I'm just nervous." Eliza replied, stopping to wipe the dust from the ventilation shaft off her forehead.
"Don't worry, I was a little nervous on my first job too, it's natural. Besides I was only halfway done with done with my training. You've got fifteen till the laser grid comes back on. " Ryan remarked
and Eliza heard rock music in the background.
"Did I mention that lasers are the fry skin type, not the set off the alarm kind?"
"Oh joy." Eliza said, pulling the phone out of her pocket and looking at the map on the screen. There was only another fifty feet until the HVAC vent above the room where their target was stored.
"What ever happened to the kind of laser that just set off an alarm?" She thought.
She reached the vent and pulled off her glove. Willing power into her hand, she ran it around the vent's perimeter and the grate fell to the plush carpet below.
"Vent has been taken out." She said dropping out of the vent. She ran over to the pedestal and saw their target, a sapphire pendant that sat on a white linen cushion.
"Are you sure this isn't booby trapped?" Eliza asked.
"Just get it." Ryan replied, the irritation clear in his voice.
"Fine, here goes nothing." Eliza remarked then she held up her pointer finger. She closed her eyes in concentration as a thin pink beam of energy sprang to life on her fingertip.
The second the glass fell into the case she grabbed a three-inch long clear canister off her belt and put the pendant in it. Then she put the canister back on its carbiner clip on her black utility belt.
Her headset came alive with her Ryan's voice.
"Something activated the system! You've got five minutes before the police show up!"
"Ry, get out of here I can take care of myself! Go!" Eliza replied
"But sis, what about you?" Ryan asked worriedly.
"I can hide better than you can in the van! Plus I can melt things, what exactly can you do?
"Sis," Ryan started. Eliza ended the call.
"Damn, why does everything have to go wrong." She thought.
She looked up at the glass ceiling and pointed her palm up, and drew upon her power.
Her palm began glowing pink and a narrow beam shaped like the half moon on her palm shot up. She directed it into a circle and cut an opening, quickly changing the beam into a umbrella of energy to
stop any glass from falling on her.
When the downpour was finished she cut the energy off, pointed her fists down and pushed more energy out of her palms. She landed in a crouch on the roof, and scanned for any police cars. That was
when she remembered her hotel room.
"Shit, I left my purse there!" If the police traced the hotel records. which in a town as small as this, they undoubtedly would, they would discover that the hotel currently had ten occupants. From there
all they would have to do is find which ones had never checked out, search their room, and find her real I.D, they hadn't had time to get fakes, this had been a rushed job from the start.
That would bring her uncle onto her trail as well. From there it would be a matter of time before he found them, and killed them like he did their parents.
She jumped unto the roof just below the museum and from there hopped roofs for a block to their hotel, and jumped down unto thier balcony.
Standing in her hotel room were a tall, muscular boy with red hair and green eyes. a older petite woman who could have been the boy's mother, and a blue eyed blond haired women.
They all wore black body armor, a weapons belt and both of the women had their hair in ponytails.
"Who the hell are you?" Eliza asked.
"Friends." the green haired women said.
"Friends don't break into other friends hotel room." Eliza said, pointing her gun at the green haired woman.
"Now, who the hell are you? A member of my uncles hit squad? A contractor from a rival family?""
The woman laughed. "Hardly something so common. We're here to offer you a deal." The woman purred, and pointed at the canister on Eliza's belt.
"That pendant for your freedom."
"Or I could shoot you three."
The woman laughed, pointed at Eliza with a wand and said.
Then the feeling went out of her legs and she fell backward, hitting her head on the ground with a soft thump.
"Shit, magicians!" Eliza thought, and not for the first time wished she had taken the lessons her uncle had offered before everything had went pear-shaped. Eliza acted on instict and unleashed a torrent of pink energy that the woman blocked with a lazy flick of her wrist. A nonverbal spell, that was highly advanced, she had only seen her uncle do that twice.
"Good luck with that." Eliza said and threw another ball of energy out, this time at the boy. He snarled and threw a green fireball at the energy and the two masses collided, dissolving into green and pink sparks.
"Hell, Elementrians, this isn't good at all." She threw a hidden throwing knif scrambled backward, trying to reach under her bed for a hidden 9mil that the blond haired woman produced with a smirk.
"Honestly, Keeper, it wasn't that hard to find your hidden weaponry. I'm surprised that you had just this. From what I've heard of the Dunbar Operation, I would have thought you'd have something else
up your sleeve.
"Just who the hell are you?"
"My Name is Morgan, I am a friend, and I've already sent a team to retrieve your brother."
"Scindo." The woman said, pointing a wand at her.
Pain surged through Eliza's body, setting every nerve afire in agony.
"Now, little miss Sarcasm, you will listen to me, and listen to me good, or I will use that particularly nasty spell on your brother, and force you to watch as he screams in agony, and then I'll slowly cut his heart out, put it back in him, and make you sew his chest closed. I'm offering you a deal, join me, and we won't kill your brother. I'll reunite the two of you, and we'll help eliminate your uncle. In exchange we'll let you both of live and you'll owe us, well me, a marker, and that pendant of course."
"What choice do I have?" Eliza said, the pain receding to a dull ache.
"Let me free and I'll agree to your terms."
Morgan snapped her fingers and Eliza was set free. Then she made a grab for her gun and was rewarded by the redheaded boy stomping on her hand when she reached it, and something crunched in her hand.
The woman helped her up and she felt a her hand burn suddenly, when she pulled back there was a rose shaped mark on the top of it.
"Now. We have a world to conquer." The woman said, and Eliza's vision faded to black.

|Title: Samurai In Snow
Artist: Kunisada Utagawa 1786-1865
Date: 1857
Publisher: Uoei
Size: 9.1 x 13.6 inches
Description: Kabuki actor in the role of Shirai Gonpachi
Artist: Shunbaisai Hokuei
Date: 1835
Publisher: Tenki (Tenmaya Kihei)
Size: 37.4 x 25.6 cm
Description: Arashi Rikan II as Shirai Gonpachi in "Hiyokumon sato no nishiki-e"
In this print Gonpachi is depicted observing a samurai and his servant at night. His stealthy posture is evident, and one has to wonder what his intentions are towards these men. Clearly, the use of colors in this print suggests he is in the shadows, most likely waiting for his opportunity to attack.

Artist: Kitagawa Toyohide
Date: Oct. 1841
Publisher: Honsei (Honya Seishichi)
Description: Onoe Kikugoro III as Shirai Gonpachi in "Ume no hatsuharu gojusantsugi," at the Kado Theater, Osaka
The play "Ume no hatsuharu gojusantsugi" is a tale highlighting unusual happenings along the Tokaido Road.
In this print the actor Kikugoro, in the role of Gonpachi, is in the middle of a choreograph fight scene (tachimwari), subduing one opponent and throwing another opponent off a roof. Clearly the subjects being subdued are doshin (police officers).

|Title: Komurasaki and Gonpachi
Artist: Suzuki Harunobu, 1724–1770
Date: Edo period 1770

|Title: Two Kabuki Actors in Snow
Artist: Kunimasu Utagawa 1830-1852
Date: 1840
Size: 7.5 x 10.2 inches
Description: Kabuki actor, Ichikawa Morinosuke, holding umbrella, is in the role of Shirai Gonpachi
I couldn't find the story behind this particular print, but it is either depicting a robbery in progress, or an earlier event where he is attacked by brigands.
(Brigands other that the ones at the inn.)
However, the subject on the ground does not appear to be depicted as a member of criminal society.

Artist: Kuniyoshi Utagawa 1797 – 1861
Date: 1843 - 1845
Publisher: Iseya Ichibei
Size: 9.6 x 14.4 inches
Description: "Genji Kumo Ukiyo-e Awase" (Pictures of today compared with the chapters of the Tale of Genji) Chapter Sekiya. Shirai Gonpachi
The image shows the character Shirai Gompachi, from the Kabuki play Kakene Nashi Edokko Ryôri, tying his girdle by a netted palanquin under the rain, his foot on the neck of a prostrate bearer.
This scene is most likely the point in the story where Gonpachi is attacked by brigands, just before meeting the famous Banzui Chobei.

|Title: Two Rivals
Artist: Yoshitaki Utagawa 1841 – 1899
Date: 1860's
Size: 14.4 x 9.8 inches
Description: Kabuki actors, Onoe Tamizo (left) is in the role of Banzui Chobei and Ichikawa Ichizo is Shirai Gonpachi in the play, "Kuruwa Kayoi".

|Title: Eimei Nijuhasshuku (Twenty-eight plebeian verses about the constellations of glorious figures)
Artist: Ikkaisai Yoshitoshi
Date: 1866
Publisher: Kinseido
I'm not sure what scene in the story this print depicts. It could either be the fight at the inn, or Gonpahi's fight with the brigands.
This print is an example of chimidorore (blood stained picture) or muzane (atrocious pictures).

Since I was a teenager, and earned enough money to buy things on my
own I have collected Japanese Woodblock Prints.
When I was a cop, and 22 years old, I really took advantage of my
income and the fact I lived at home and didn't have any bills. I was
paid every two weeks, and once a month I bought a print.
I always bought what I liked, never concerned with resale value or who
the artist was. It was the print I was interested in, and as long as
it was original (or first publication) that's all that mattered.
That changed when I got married, and had kids. I could no longer buy
any artwork.
My oldest son is nineteen now, and after all these years I'm finally
able to buy prints again. Not like before, I'll never have so much
"play money," but every now and then.
Because my finances are limited today, I would rather buy one print I
think is outstanding than a few I semi-enjoy. I've also limited my
purchases to prints that depict Japanese polearms, or doshin (Japanese
Below is one of my recent purchases:

Size: 28,65 x 14.0 inches
Story: "Taiheki; Shizukatake Taisen no Zu" Battle of the lances at
Shizukatake (1583) in Shiga prefecture which is chronicled in the
I was first drawn to this print because the combatants are using yari
(spears). The fact that they are using yari on horseback made the
print even more interesting and desirable.
I also like the depiction of the life and death struggle on the lower
left side of the print. Two samurai locked in mortal combat, using
short swords: no telling who will win. That's left to the
Also on the upper left panel is lancer in a classical defensive pose,
fending off numerous attackers. What is even more interesting is that
he using two yari at the same time. That would require some skill,
something he obviously has since he is stabbing one subject while
fending off others.
Overall I was very happy with this print and I can't wait to frame it,
and hang it in the school.
(I would really appreciate any further information on this print. If
you know who is depicted, or more of the story I would really
appreciate hearing from you.)

Dave Jilk, my partner in Feld Technologies, recently dug up a bunch of old stuff. I blogged one of the documents recently - The Simple Formal Beginnings Of Feld Technologies - and have a few other fun ones coming.
Today, let's look at another example of a contract that we signed in the context of "keeping it simple." Over the seven years we were in business, we used a very simple form we referred to as a "Professional Services Agreement." This was the document that we signed with almost all of our clients. Every now and then we had to deal with something more complicated, but even large companies typically were willing to sign this agreement in 1990.
Over the life of Feld Technologies, we were never sued. We had our share of difficult client situations and were fired a few times, but were always direct and straightforward in how we dealt with stuff. We tried to always keep it at a business level and have a personal relationship with our clients so that when projects got into a difficult place, we could get together and work them out directly. And even when the answer was to part ways, we were always graceful about it.
The PSA shown above is our standard, but listing us as the client and MaK Technologies as the vendor. I believe it's the first piece of business for MaK Technologies, a company co-founded by my long time and close friend Warren Katz. Dave and I met Warren through his wife Ilana, who was the employee #7 at Feld Technologies.
One of our clients was Monitor Company, at the time a young but very rapidly growing consulting firm in Cambridge. They used a bunch of Sun Workstations for all of their presentations (this was in the time of Harvard Graphics – well before the ubiquity of PowerPoint – which was completely inadequate for what they did). Instead, they used the Sun's and Interleaf running on Unix. While we had a lot of hardware and networking expertise, we didn't do anything with Unix (we were all about DOS and Novell Netware) so we subcontracted Warren's company to help us with the Unix stuff at Monitor.
Warren and I have done many things together – some that have worked and some that haven't. Twenty-two years later we still do business with a handshake. Warren has a great chapter about this in Do More Faster. Remember – keep it simple.
Ben Horowitz from Andreessen Horowitz has a beautiful post up titled The Struggle. He captures – in words – what many entrepreneurs, especially entrepreneurial CEOs go through. I've heard variants of it many times over the years and have experienced it myself in several companies where I've been the entrepreneur and many companies where I've been the investor. Ben states that there is no answer to The Struggle but offers some things that may or may not help.
I'd like to take it one step further and explain the brilliance of The Struggle. And I'll begin at the end, by starting with one my favorite John Galt quotes.
"It's not that I don't suffer, it's that I know the unimportance of suffering." – John Galt
When you accept the complete and total unimportance of suffering, you can actually enjoy The Struggle. It's just a step along the way, another experience in life, of the cumulative experiences before we ultimately die. Suffering, The Struggle, disappointment, failure, and self-doubt – these are all part of being an entrepreneur. And that brings to mind the famous Nietzsche quote.
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche
Remember always that we all will die. And it's unlikely that The Struggle will kill us. If we approach it the right way it will make us stronger. Here are a few examples from my first company, Feld Technologies (1987 – 1993).
Hyperion: While Feld Technologies was a software consulting company, the companies that installed the networks that our software ran on (mostly PC-based Novell Networks) were so shitty that we set up our own small network installation group. Some of our clients wanted to buy everything from us so we also sold them the hardware. We made about 20% margin on the hardware so this was worthwhile, especially since we were able to bill by the hour for all the time we spent on this stuff. People liked working with us – all of our new business either was "random" or "word of mouth." We ended up working for a bunch of Boston-based VC firms and several of them referred us to their biotech investments. In the early 1990′s, biotech was white hot – these companies raised tons of money and spent it on crazy wet lab facilities, which included lots and lots of hardware. I can't remember much about Hyperion other than they were out on 495 somewhere (it was a long drive) and they bought a bunch of hardware from us. They paid intermittently and one day we realized they owed us around $75,000 and hadn't paid us in over 60 days. For another 30 days I called and kept getting promised checks, which never came. I vividly remember The Struggle – I was lying in bed with Amy in our apartment at 15 Sleeper Street (Apt 304 in case you were curious). It was the middle of the night and I couldn't sleep. Amy could feel the wheels turning in my brain and asked me what was wrong. I told her I was worried Feld Technologies wasn't going to make payroll because Hyperion owed us $75,000. I then went in the bathroom and threw up. It's important to realize that it wasn't that we were out $75,000, but the hardware had cost us 80% of this and we'd already paid our hardware vendor so we were really out over $125,000. We were a $1.5m-ish self-funded business at the time so this was a devastatingly large amount of money for us. After a sleepless night, on a totally empty stomach, I got in my car and drove out to Hyperion. They were still there (thankfully) – I then sat in the lobby until the CFO would meet with me, and I stayed in his office until he brought me a check for whatever they owed us. They went out of business a few months later.
Avatar: My parter Dave Jilk and I were at a gas station filling up his red Ford Tempo with gas on our way to Avatar in Hopkinton. We knew it was going to be a terrible meeting and each of us was incredibly anxious. We were in the middle of The Struggle. We'd taken on our first Mac custom software project and were using an RDBMS called ACI 4D which was new to us. It was one of the two choices on the Mac at the time (the other was Blythe Omnis) – each had their own version of suckage especially when compared to the PC-based 4GL called Clarion that we used for most of our clients. We we're really struggling with 4D – performance on the Mac was awful, the networking dynamics were weak (and the Mac networking software was terribly slow at the time), and our understanding of how to really tune it was non-existant. We had heard of some successful 4D implementations but they were hard to find out much about. We knew this was likely our final meeting where we'd get fired, even though that rarely happened in our world. We were meeting with Tom Bogan, the CEO, and a few other people on his team. We liked Tom a lot – he was a very direct and thoughtful CEO and we knew we were failing him. Over the preceding months, we had tried extremely hard and worked many unbillable hours trying to get things working, but just couldn't. I don't remember the ACI folks being very helpful and I remember a number of conversations with Dave about "the fucking Macintosh." We were deep in The Struggle. Tom eventually fired us (I don't remember if it was at that meeting or not). He and I lost touch over the years (I'm sure he was glad to be rid of us) until I had breakfast with him in Boulder in 1997 when he was first looking at investing in Rally Software. I started out the meal by saying "hi – sorry we did such a crummy job for you at Avatar" and he responded, graciously, with "that was a long time ago, wasn't it."
I've got a lot more stories like this from Feld Technologies and several other companies I co-founded, including Interliant and Email Publishing, along with long stretches of time at Mobius Venture Capital. All of them share The Struggle and when I reflect on it from my perch at 46.5 years old, I recognize the unimportance of suffering.
I'm fascinated with first offices. I'm not talking about the bedroom, the dorm room, the garage, or the apartment. I'm talking about the first real office. Here's mine.
Bill Warner took this picture of me standing in front of 875 Main Street in Cambridge, MA last year. My first real office – for Feld Technologies – was the fourth floor. The building is a narrow five story building (three windows on the front) – long and skinny – 1600 square feet total. The elevator opened directly into the office, the front of the building (that you see) was to the left; the bulk of the space was to the right. I vaguely remember a cave like office near the back along with the bathroom and lots of open space in the middle. When we moved in all of the left over shit from Pegasystems was still there – they were the previous tenant.
While I had offices in my bedroom at my fraternity (351 Massachusetts Avenue) and in my bedroom at my parents house in Dallas, this was my first real office. We had to take out the garbage and the place always smelled like damp, sweaty, anxious nerds. We had some great times and some awful times, but this was where it all really started for me.
Where was your first real office?
Steve Bell of Startup Trek came to Boulder about a month ago and did an interview with a bunch of Boulder people, including me. Following is part one (12 minutes) of the interview where I talk some about my history, my first company Feld Technologies, and the Feld Technologies' motto ("we suck less.")
I also spend some time talking about how I first learned how to do deals, acquire companies, and make angel investments. You get to learn how I met Fred Wilson, Rich Levandov, and Jerry Colonna. And, as a special bonus, you get to see a reasonably tired version of my avatar sitting in one of the chairs in my office.
Every now and then I run across someone who is still using software that we wrote at Feld Technologies. Some of this software dates back to 1987 – a fact that never ceases to amaze me. And – no, I can no longer provide tech support at any price.
We didn't have much swag at Feld Technologies. In fact, I think the only swag we had, other than a few t-shirts which still make their appearance every now and then, is the mug pictured above. A fraternity brother of mine from MIT emailed me this picture recently – apparently this mug sits on his desk and serves a very mug-like purpose.
I remember how agonizing it was to buy these mugs. Should we get 50? 100? There was probably a price break at 200 and we even considered that. Were they too plain? Should we spend an extra $0.17 per mug and get a grey background to match our stationary? Who should we give them to? Should we charge for them? Decisions, decisions.
Anyone recognize that font?

What We're Watching
I've been a cord-cutter for over five years now. The last time I had cable/HBO was when shows like The Sopranos, Rome & Deadwood were on the air. I've learned to wait a year (for Blu-ray release) to watch HBO shows like Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire; and I stay current with other shows via Season Pass subscriptions on Amazon Instant Video. $2.99/episode for the six shows I do like and I'm still coming out ahead what I would've paid for cable.
This year the FX network began inserting advertisements into the Season 4 episodes of Archer. 15 second promos of other FX shows like The League and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that run pre-show and 60 second promos of other FX shows like The Americans and Justified that run post-show. After buying on-demand episodes for over five years, this is the first I've had to deal with commercials in episodic content that I've paid for. And it's the exact same annoying pre-show ads for every episode. It was enough to dissuade me from ever considering watching Philadelphia and The League.
I'm concerned this may start a disturbing trend that other content providers will follow. $2.99/episode *should* free the consumers from commercial pitches. And I would hate to see the same inserted ads once Archer S4 migrates to Netflix.
P.S. I should've emailed you on this in January when Archer premiered; figured it was just me being annoyed. But if you check out Archer's S4 page on Amazon Instant Video- you'll see how grossly unpopular this is. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2LNXK0/ref=atv_dp_season?ie=UTF8&redirect=true
Love the show. Keep doing what you're doing
Saturn Oklahoma City, OK
Just wanted to make sure you guys heard about John and Hank Green's (VlogBrothers) new idea to make their educational YouTube videos financially sustainable: http://subbable.com/
Here's the video with more information: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dYlbz77uzI
I hope things like this start to take off, as it is clear that the advertising model will not work for many types of content.
I called my cable company today to try and negotiate a lower rate. For years I have known the call-to-cancel trick for getting better prices, but not why cable tv packages were so important to them.
My 12 month reduced rate just ended leaving me with an $83 bill for basic cable and 50Mbps internet. I called their support to reduce my service starting with the cable TV I don't use. We started discussing rates for lower speed internet soon after when I noticed ... I wasn't getting the usual resistance to my requests. The rep was dead flat in tone and ready to help me change my service however I liked.
The rep warned at 3Mbps for $39/mo I might not be able to stream Netflix very well or even at all. Knowing better I told him my cell service could stream it ok and that perhaps cancelling completely would be better. To my surprise, he was ready to go and asked for a cancellation date. I backed off a bit and asked for the lowest speed internet until I could confirm with my wife the best date to cancel.
Minutes passed before he finally came back with an offer of $49/mo for 6 months, keeping everything I had.
Trying to negotiate a lower price is a little scary when you are talking cancellation. I went in ready to live with the consequences, I stuck with it and lowered my bill to even less than my last discount. The subscriber numbers really do matter to them, your bravery will pay off in the end if you play dumb keep playing chicken.
Clearly cable companies (like comcast) are learning how to hide what they want, to keep you from getting a good deal. Good luck to everyone else.
Thanks for helping us all save so much money.

- Not read on air
Been a long time viewer of the show and appreciate all the information you give. I took the Chicken Challenge and contacted Suddenlink about canceling my cable. They wanted to know why I was canceling and kept to my story of I only watch items online. They ended up giving an offer that was $37 a month cheaper and with more channels. I went ahead and accepted the offer.
Not as much as other have done, but the challenge did work.
I took the chicken challenge with Directv. I've been with them since 95 and I upgraded my equipment about 6 months ago. So I have a year and a half left on my agreement. Called them up today said cancel twice to the voice prompt (gets you to retention). The lady ask how she could help me today, I said I would like to know what it would cost me to cancel service. She ask me why? Told her I was cutting the cord. She told me she would check and before even telling me what it would cost she came back with this offer. Free Sunday with max ($300 value) $20 off for 12 months $15 off for 15 months $10 off for 12 months $3 off for 3 months (whole home dvr service) 4 months of showtime free
I was paying about $90 a month. My bill was cut in half:) Love the show. Thanks

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Four members of the Rutgers University gymnastics team have earned All-East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) honors, the league office announced today.
The Scarlet Knights' honorees are seniors Lisa Abrams (Mt. Ephraim, NJ) and Caitlin Wight (Washington, PA) and juniors Stephanie Zick (Pittsburgh, PA) and Sveta Shterenberg (Sharon, MA)
Abrams, who serves as one of Rutgers' co-captains along with Wight, earned First Team All-EAGL on the balance beam. This season, Abrams established a new beam record when she scored a 9.925 against Temple of Jan. 21. In last weekend's regular season finale against North Carolina, Ursinus and Cortland, Abrams scored a 9.925 once again, and is averaging a 9.713 in 11 meets this year. It is the second all-conference honor in Abrams' career, after being named the Second Team All-Beam squad in 2003.
Wight earned second team All-EAGL honors in the floor exercise for the first time in her career. A 2003 NCAA East Regional alternate, Wight has a 9.836 season average on the floor, helping Rutgers to a 17-6 overall record. In RU's upset of 25th-ranked Maryland on Feb. 28, Wight scored a 9.900 on the floor as the Scarlet Knights finished first overall at the quad meet.
Zick was selected the All-EAGL uneven bars team for the first time in her career. Zick is currently averaging a team-best 9.801 on the uneven bars with a 9.900 against Maryland, Bridgeport and Temple on Feb. 28.
Shterenberg joined Zick on the All-EAGL uneven bars second team for the first time in her career. Shterenberg is averaging a 9.755 on the bars with two scores of 9.8 (2/14 and 2/28) and a 9.85 on Jan. 31.
Abrams, Wight, Zick and Shterenberg are also members of the All-EAGL academic team. Rutgers had a conference-high 18 student-athletes named to the team, which was announced last week.

How Can I Pass Data From Textbox To Word Document In Vb6?
if somebody has a different code, it's accepted to see.
what if i want to use this code:
Private Sub cmdButtom_Click()
Dim WordObj As Word.Application
Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Dim objWord As Word.Document
Set objWord = WordObj.Documents.Open(FileName:=App.Path & "INVOICE.doc")
WordObj.visible = true
With objWord.Bookmarks
.Item("NAME").Range.Text = txtName
.Item("ADDRESS").Range.Text = txtAddress
.Item("CODE").Range.Text = txtCode
.Item("PHONE").Range.Text = txtPhone
.Item("FAX").Range.Text = txtFax
End With
Set objWord = Nothing
End Sub
the error message now is:
"user-defined type not defined"
it doesn't recognize "dim WordObj As Word.Application
so the problem is with "as word.application"
but it recognizes set objword=CreateObject ("Word.Application") , there is no error from the compiler when i use that command.
what should i do so that it recognizes the "dim WordObj As Word.Application" command?
do i need to change something in references or anywhere else?
How Can I Extract Text From A Word Document TextBox
i have been working on word Document files.
each document has same text format.
i m using the code below to extract text from it,
Dim sFileName As String 'Name of files within the folder will be stored
Dim i As Integer 'This will count the files read***
Dim wrd As Word.Application
Dim wrdCount As Long 'Number of characters within the file
'Get the first file with extension "DOC" ***
sFileName = Dir$("C:Virology*.DOC") '***
Do While sFileName <> "" '***
Set wrd = New Word.Application 'Create obj of word application
wrd.Visible = False
wrd.Documents.Open "C:Virology" & sFileName
wrdCount = wrd.Documents(1).Characters.Count
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & vbCrLf & i & wrd.Documents(1).Range(0, wrdCount).Text
Set wrd = Nothing
sFileName = Dir$ '***
i = i + 1
This works good for all the characters in the document but the problem rises when word textbox appears in the document.

2. I want to merge 2nd and 3rd columns in first row and 4th and 5th columns in first row. How do i go about it.
The table has to contain 5 columns. If i merge it is not accepting the next columns

Opening Word Document From Excel When The Word Document Is Read Only
I'm trying to open a Word document from Excel and have hit a snag. The file I'm trying to access is Read-only and the code stops when the "This file is read-only..." prompt displays. How do I get past this? Here's the code that I have so far (thanks to some help from this forum):
Sub OpenAndPrint()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
Dim stPathName As String
stPathName = Range("B4").Hyperlinks(1).Address
If Dir(stPathName) <> "" Then
Set wdApp = New Word.Application
wdApp.Visible = True
wdApp.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone 'Tried to turn off the prompt, but it didn't work.
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(stPathName) 'Code stops here and waits for the user to respond to the prompt.
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Set wdApp = Nothing
MsgBox "The file does not exist!", vbInformation
End If

Each Page/Worksheet/Slide goes on a seperate page. Print formatting is retained (landscape/portrait) and if the imported Page/Worksheet/Slide is larger than the page im merging/importing to, it should auto-resize to fit the page.

Error 4605 Calling Word.Document.Save With Word 2002 SP1
I have a test VB6 exe project with a WebBrowser control, called web1 (added via Project, Components, Microsoft Internal Controls). My project also references the Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library.
As well as the WebBrowser control, my form has a Save button (cmdSave). Here is the complete code:
Private g_objDocument As Word.Document
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = App.Path & "WordWrapper.doc"
web1.Navigate strFileName
End Sub
Private Sub web1_NavigateComplete2(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
Set g_objDocument = pDisp.Document
End Sub
The idea is when I run the exe, it loads a Word document into the WebBrowser control. This document is also assigned to
a global Word.Document object, g_objDocument, when web1 navigates to it. The problem occurs when I try to save the document (in cmdSave_Click). I get the error:
"The Save method or property is not available because this document is in another application."
This error occurs with Word 2002 SP 1 (on Windows XP), but not with Word 2000 SP3.
Please help.

VB In Access To Find And Format A Word In A Mailmerged Word Document
I use my Access data base to create mail merged letters to our customers. Not only are the names etc stored on the database I also store the content of the letter in memo fields. I have occasions where I want the newly created letter to have some words bold. After having VB code open the main document, mail merge then close the main document I run the following code. It works the first time round, the specified word becomes bold. However after closing the letter and running it a second time the new letter opens but no changes are made and I get an error. "Run Time error '462' : The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable". This gives me a Debug option. When selecting debug The first row in this code is selected.
With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
.Font.Bold = False
.MatchCase = True
.Text = "SATURDAY"
With .Replacement
.Font.Bold = True
.Text = "SATURDAY"
End With
.Execute Format:=True, Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
If I leave the new letter open and re run it the code opens a second new letter with no errors, however it does not make the changes to the newest document only the first new document it finds. ie If I then close the first one created and rerun it the second document will have the changes made and the third one does not change. The error only occurs once I have closed all new documents and try to open another letter.
Hope someone can help

Word Automation - Retaining The Numbering Format In New Word Document
Hi all,
I am using word automation to read a word document. I use word automation to read the word document page by page and paste the contents of each page in a new document.
The problem i am facing is, the word document which is read contains Heading1,Heading 2 etc and these are numbered. When I paste these pages onto a new document the numbering is not retained. (Eg., if my Heading1 number is 2.1 when i paste it in a new document the Heading1 number is shown as 1.1)
VBA: Creating Word, And Sending Data To A Word Document Using Ranges
The following code works fine when it is executed only once in any instance of the VB program.
It is OK provided I do not close Word, and it will create multiple instances of the document into the same instance or word.
Screen.MousePointer = 11
WordApp.Documents.Open ("C:Program FilesWill WizardTemplatesClauseLib.doc")
set MyDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="C:Program FilesWill WizardTemplatesClauseLib.doc")
set FldRng(1) = MyDoc.Range(Start:=MyDoc.Bookmarks("Name").Range.End, End:=MyDoc.Bookmarks("NameEnd").Start - 1) 'read bookmarks into range object variables
FldRng(1).Text = ClauseHold 'put the stuff into the document
WordApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAS FileName:=("C:Program FilesWill WizardTemplates emp" & Trim(Str(TMPNum)) & ".doc")
WordApp.Visible = true
set WordApp = nothing
set MyDoc = nothing
Screen.MousePointer = 0
Command8.Enabled = true
Exit Sub
If Word is closed, and the code is executed again, an error occurs "the remote server machine does not exist or is not available" The only remedy for this is close and re-start the VB application containing this code.

Word: Counting A Specific String In A Word Document
Hi all,
After visiting the Word FAQ I couldn't find any clue for my query:
I would like to count (in VB) how many times the string "Yesterday"
appears in a word document I am working on.
By using the manual Replace function (replacing "Yesterday" by "Yesterday"),
Word tells you how many replacement it has done and therefore how many
instances of the string "Yesterday" were in the document.
Can anyone point me in the right direction about using VB to find out
how many times "Yesterday" appears in my document, please?
Many thanks

Selecting A Particular Word From A Word Document (.doc) Through Visual Basic 6
I am a developer using Visual Basic 6. One of my program accepts some values through text boxes and then creates a Word document. The text boxes are optional, and the created Word document contains only non-empty values along with appropriate labels. I am able to apply styles (bold and underline) to entire paragraphs. But the user wants me to apply bold formatting only to values entered by him and not to the labels which describe those values. Please help me.
Thank You.

Open A Document Word From A Template Of Word
Hello, I'm working in Visual Basic 6 and I want open a document word. But this document must be from a template of word (its name is Informe).
I do it with the code
Dim objWord As Word.Application
Dim objDoc As Word.Document
Set objWord = New Word.Application
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add("C:Informe.dot")
It's ok but I only see the document, I want to see the menus of word,....
If it isn't possible can you send me the code to print this document?
Thank's and sorry for my poor english
Word Form >> Process >> Word Document
Please be gentle, as this is my first foray into VBA. To make matters worse, I'm not a programmer, just someone who needs to get something done. My guess, based on what I want to do, it that I can do it easiest in VBA, but I am hoping this forum will help flesh out that answer for me.
In a nutshell, I am trying to create a document (possibly a Word form?...) that has a definite format with fields to be filled in (mostly numberic values, checkboxes, or free text). This form will be filled out by our techs at a customer site. They may do this 'live' with Word open, or they may print it out, then fill in the document later from their handwritten copy.
Next, I would like to 'process' their answers by feeding some information directly into an output document (Word hopefully). Now, some fields like name, address, etc... will go straight over and don't require manipulation. Some other data will need to be processed.
For example, if the tech fills in 34, I might want the output document to put 'this text' under a certain heading. If it is >34, then some other text, less, maybe no text. I'd also like to be able to change some graphics based on limits. i.e. if the value is less than this, insert this picture into the output document at a specific location, if not, insert this picture.
So, in general, before I go down the road of learning a language... do the members here think VBA would be a good choice for this? Would I 'read' from the input document in Word Excel, process in Excel and then pump data out to the output docment, etc... I am looking for advice whether this is;
1. fairly straightforward, understanding that I would need to learn some VBA.
2. possible
3. a good choice. i.e. would another language, or a pre-done software make a better choice.
My contraints are that my company has Office 2000 rolled out, WITHOUT Access. We use Lotus Notes and Access is apparently frowned upon. I am an optimist, so I expect it's possible with careful design and help from the experts who've been down these roads before.
Thanks in advance for any help, insight, advice or code.

The Edmonton Oilers have some skill bubbling under in Oklahoma City. We've seen Anton Lander and Mark Arcobello, and hope to see more of Tyler Pitlick. One player who might be an effective 6 or 7 or 9 is Roman Horak. A little under the radar despite a mid-season callup, the young forward is having an impact.
- He's younger than Anton Lander.
- He was chosen 87 picks later than Lander.
- He's played more NHL games than Lander.
- Horak's scouting report pre-draft: Silky, explosive skater can generate plenty of speed in a couple of steps. Possesses considerable one-on-one ability, toying with opponents at times in Czech junior with amazing dekes. Exudes confidence in the offensive zone and can create his own time and space.
- Like Lander, Horak arrived in the NHL far too early and was forced to take a step back in order to collect himself.
- Horak has been traded for Tim Erixon and Ladislav Smid and is only 22.
- Shawn Horcoff didn't play an NHL game until he was 22.
- When the Oilers dealt for him, I said "I've always liked Horak (honestly) and see him as a superior player to most of the depth players employed currently by the NHL team. If he ends up this season as a 4line forward, no one should be surprised. He's 22, he can take and make a pass (underrated skill and the Oilers need more of them) and has time to develop into a player. We may never hear of him again, but he could end up helping them."
- Nothing that has happened since changed my mind.
- He took a nice step forward in OKC when they moved him to LW.
- The Oilers currently employ at least two guys on LW who aren't as good at hockey.
- There have been NHL scouts watching the Barons for some time.
- I thought they might be watching Lander or Arcobello.
- They might have been watching Horak.
- The Oilers need role players, guys who can play a two-way game, don't cost a lot and chip in 15 goals a year.
- Horak's NHLE this season is 82GP, 14-15-29.
- Lander's NHLE this season is 82GP, 16-25-41.
- Arcobello's NHLE is 82GP, 29-49-78.
- Pitlick's NHLE is 82GP, 8-13-21.
- The Oilers have developed Colin Mcdonald, Teemu Hartikainen, Linus Omark, Chris VandeVelde, Magnus Paajarvi in OKC since 2010. None made it as Oilers. Will one of Arcobello, Lander, Pitlick or Horak change things?
Horak's an interesting player. I hope he sees some NHL time after the deadline. (photo by Rob Ferguson, all rights reserved)

New on the site: Rate and review Halloween events at the world's top theme parks
Written by Robert Niles
I know, this is way overdue, but today we're debuting our page where you can rate and review Halloween events at the world's top theme parks. I've gotten things going by listing the events at the top parks we cover - Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld/Busch Gardens. But I've included a few other events in the SoCal and Central Florida areas as well, including the original theme park Halloween event - Knott's Berry Farm's Halloween Haunt.Tweet
This isn't a complete list, so if you're passionate about an Halloween event you think should be included, please let me know, or go ahead and add it yourself using the "Add a Missing Attraction" link at the bottom of the page. (As usual, I have to approve any new listing submissions before they go live to keep the spambots at bay.)
If you have any event photos you'd like to submit, you can do that using the "Submit a Photo" link on any listing page. And if you'd like to help by fleshing out some of the event descriptions, please do by clicking the "Update this description" link. Keep in mind, though, that the description is not the place to leave your review or impression of the event. The description should be the "just the facts, ma'am" overview of the event, which could include this year's dates, admission fees and attraction and event line-ups.
When you are rating these events, please don't just give everything a 10 because you love Halloween. Consider how each of these events stacks up to the competition, and rate accordingly. The 9 and 10 events should be the industry standards, with professional, Hollywood-quality make-up and effects and outstanding show quality. Kids in make-up they put on themselves, jumping out from behind hay bales while a strobe light flashes, should get somewhat lower scores. ;^)
Also, I know it's a little tough to compare haunts with kid-friendly events, so consider the kid-friendly trick-or-treat events against other such events, not against the horror-themed ones.
I hope that you'll enjoy this new feature, and that Halloween fans will take advantage to create a great resource of reviews and opinion on Halloween events, the way you all have with all the other theme park rides, shows, restaurants and hotels you've rated on the site.
Let's get started rating and reviewing!
Readers' Opinions
From David L. on October 6, 2011 at 2:43 PM
Robert, are top notch non-theme park events allowed like Netherworld allowed? Great new feature by the way!
From Robert Niles on October 6, 2011 at 3:40 PM
They're kinda outside the focus of the site, so I'm not inclined to include them in the ratings since I want to keep the ratings about theme parks.
But trip reports and comments in the discussion forum? Great! If theme park fans would find it interesting and helpful in vacation planning, it's fair game there.

Robert, you must have visited the same haunted house I did last weekend! Your description was spot on!

Rapper Rick Ross has tackled allegations he condones rape in a controversial new song which has angered women's rights activists.
The hip-hop star came under fire after he seemingly rapped about drugging a woman on fellow musician Rocko's track "U.O.E.N.O. (You Ain't Even Know It)."
The song's lyrics included, "Put molly (slang for pure ecstasy) all in her champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it."
The content of the track has caused controversy, but Ross says his rap has been misconstrued as he would never condone any kind of violence against women.
Speaking on radio station Q93.3, he says, "There are certain things you can't Tweet and certain things you want people to hear and I want to make sure this is clear... woman is the most precious gift known to man (sic). You understand.
"There was a misunderstanding with a lyric or a misinterpretation. The term rape wasn't used. I would never use the term rape in my records. Hip-Hop don't (sic) condone that, the streets don't condone that. Nobody condones that. I just want to reach out to all the queens on my timeline, the beautiful ladies that were reaching out to me... we don't condone rape and I'm not with that."
So women are "blow-up" dolls to be slung around after being druggged. Mr. Ross, I am sure the people in Stuebenville agree with you that since she accepted the Champagne - she consented, yet if "she don't know" then that is battery/rape - if she should remember - she will be RAPED AGAIN by the system - Sir & I use the term loosely!
Ladies be extra careful of your refreshments if you are out there with these individuals that think slipping you a "roofie" is BIG FUN!
If you leave a drink - DO NOT PICK IT BACK UP, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO PURCHASE YOUR DRINK OUTSIDE OF YOUR VIEW, AND IF YOU GET A BEER TELL THE HOSTESS OR WAITER TO LEAVE THE CAP ON & HAVE YOUR OWN "CHURCH-KEY!"
Apparently "WE" have time warped on things other than Bigotry & as such YOU NEED TO WATCH your BACKS & your girls BACKS. Peace

Official Couple (or as close to an official couple as you can get) and their best friend, the participants in a Love Triangle (or more) being far more friendly than you'd expect, a Power Trio with a close emotional bond, or just any trio of characters that, by the nature of their relationship and/or the plot, spend an awful lot of time around each other. Like most other Ship Tease tropes, it might be caused by the author fooling around, with the expectation that no one will consider this a serious romantic resolution, or by teasing the fans of that particular kink to stay tuned. It's possible for this to be accidental, though given the generally more complicated dynamics involved it's more likely to be intentional compared to other subtext tropes. Three-Way Sex and Polyamory are the textual version of this. Twin Threesome Fantasy is a subtrope. Compare One True Threesome, the Shipping Goggles-induced counterpart. See also Homoerotic Subtext and Incest Subtext.
