Actually six of the best blogs I’ve come across recently: Esther Dyson on not everybody can be Bill Gates, Gary Ardnt on 20 things I’ve learned from traveling around the world for three years, Jason Goldberg on 57 things I’ve learned from founding 3 tech companies; Michael Arrington asks are you a pirate, Rand Fishkin suggests that the algorithm and the crowd are not enough, and Bill Gurley examines Silicon Valley’s IPO anxiety (skip the Neil Pert quote).
