Thanks HN: Goodbye, Golden Handcuffs

I'm a YC '08 Reject underwhelmed by my safe, boring corporate gig. Regular scans of HN remind me of the excellent things happening elsewhere. I was particularly struck by the theory that the best example you can set for your kids (0 so far) is to pursue your dreams, not an income.

I quit today, bought the supportive girlfriend a ring, and will start January 2011 as my own boss. I'm giving myself six months to bootstrap. Thought you should be the first to know.

Let the fun begin.

6 mos ain't enough, but otherwise, great idea.

Congrats :)
