Awesome. One suggestion I have is to select either the first or third person and use the same voice for both the title and the article. I think its ok to write your own bio, but to show that you are writing and then appear to pretend that you are not is a bit annoying. I don't mean to imply any actual pretense, of course, because there is nothing wrong with using the third person. I just don't think it works here as…

Who says he doesn't do all of that? And also, where riding dirt bikes and playing basketball is your idea of fun, his may be programming, running startups and doing bizdev.
I'd say that you can start companies at any stage of life. You can start a company age 50, and probably have far more chance at success based on your extra knowledge. However, you can't really go to night clubs, chase girls, play dirt bikes etc age 50.
Somehow I still manage to fit in time for everything. [x] going to nightclubs [x] chasing girls (though at this stage a big waste of time, seriously) [x] dirt bikes [x] video games ...

Interested to know the detailed plans for the life goals ( http://markbao.com/lifegoals ), particularly this one: $5+ billion net worth
Actually now $10 billion (not that it matters :p), but the big plan is to put 90% of that into medical/cancer research grants, life extension, political action, humanitarian action, space exploration, and other positive action, and 5% into startup investments more here: http://iam.markbao.com/ edit: oh! detailed plan is to eventually put complete focus towards the main project, Avecora... what we're basically trying…
Oh cool, I'm on here :D 18 now, and I've stopped calling them startups... a lot of them are just webapps :) (also no longer in high school, was going to update it two days ago until threewords.me came along, now at 1.8 million pageviews...) the new startup is http://supportbreeze.com ! Would like to note that my bhag (big hairy audacious goal) is to donate almost all my money into positive philanthropy (see below) an…
Good. The honeymoon is over.
Now you can vote, join the army, get laid without legal worries, and most importantly, be considered a true peer here without the gratuitous "17 year old" prefix on everything said about you.
I have admired your progress and even enjoyed using some of your software over the past several years, usually thinking, "This guy is great. I wonder what kinds of cool things he'll be doing once he grows up." The wait is over. Full steam ahead and best wishes!
I really woudn't like to critize but I would make the disctintion building startups or businesses and building apps. The former usually have customers, employees, payrolls, revenues etc. But anyway it's great that you're building things.
Thanks for the feedback :) Yeah, I came to my senses eventually. Check it out... TickrTalk: [x] incorporated [ ] paying customers [ ] employees [ ] payroll [ ] revenue. Nope. Just so much old literature on the internet that I haven't bothered to update. Too busy hacking ruby and python to care.
