What would be better is a well edited documentary, comparing the two biggest start-up incubators Ycombinator and Techstars. It would be a fantastic promotional documentary for all party's involved. Heck, you could even turn it into some kind of reality Tv show if your wanted to where the 2 incubators compete somehow. 1st season broadcast via Youtube + HD websites. 2nd season via NBC. It's 1000x better idea for a show…

#12I think the police entering their apartment at 1:40 this morning, guns drawn, is going to make a classic moment for the archives. I'll be honest, I was thinking I was maybe going to see Justin get shot.

#16I don't think they'll have any trouble getting publicity, considering all Justin has to do is tell all the live viewers Digg a link to his show at a certain time. :-)

The problem is that most of work starting a startup is boring. So either a documentary distorts what actually goes on and shows you the interesting parts (like the one above), or you lose interest and forget about it.
My day basically goes:
1. Wake up. Start development VM. Check yCombinator. Reply to a post or two while VM boots up.
2. Implement a feature, or some administrative script, or setup some software package on server, while eating breakfast.
3. Go to day job. Work on somebody else's startup for 8 hours. Use breaks etc. to resource technologies I'll need for that night's programming.
3.b. Sketch out some feature longhand in a notebook on the train home.
4. Come home. Implement the low-hanging fruit that I just researched.
5. Eat dinner
6. Spend 2-3 hours working on some of the larger tasks that need doing.
7. Repeat.
It's pretty productive, but hardly good TV. The documentary would basically be "Jonathan staring at computer. Jonathan staring at computer. Jonathan staring at computer."
I am keeping a blog (poorly - been 2 weeks since I updated) with the day-to-day stuff. But really, that's just "Here's the challenge we just faced. Here's how we solved it. Rinse, lather, repeat."

#18I kept having the strange urge to talk directly to people like pg, Trevor Blackwell, Jessica Livingston, as if Justin were some kind of Telepresence bot, or medium. It's weird to think of him walking around, with all these "spirits" in his head.
The robot demo was fascinating, and I love the unscriptedness. I think I prefer that to an edited or scripted documentary. You can infer a lot from the raw data that wouldn't make it through the editorial process.

There was a documentary done about one of the dot-com busts in 2000. I can't remember the title, but Google may be able to help you. The problem is that most of work starting a startup is boring .
