Red Herring: Tech Tots 25 under 35

I’m not sure who nominated me (thank you nameless and faceless, whoever you are), but I was selected by Red Herring for their annual “25 under 35″ review of up-and-coming entrepreneurs (to this day it takes a spell checker for me to spell that word - so much for being one).

I was mildly amused by the cover (there has to be an inside joke on the lollipop action - can’t wait to hear it). I was much-more-than-mildly amused when I saw over at Valleywag they had nominated the cover as one of the top 3 most embarrassing covers of 2006. The results proved that it was the least embarrassing of the most embarrassing. I mean how do you beat Arrington burning a bunch of Benjamin’s to light his cigar?! Priceless.

BTW - It took me a good four days to find a copy here in Portland, OR. The irony is that my mother had found two copies at a Barnes & Noble. Apparently they were the only two copies in the Portland-Metro area. So I snuck over to my folks house and swiped a copy … thanks Mom! Hahaha! :-)

So I’m really delighted and honored. Thanks so much Red Herring.

So I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice. (name that pop-culture reference, win an autographed copy of Red Herring magazine!! Note: you’ll need to provide your own copy as supplies are limited here in the Portland-area.)
