Paul Graham's personal website (circa 2000)

I've failed at YC applications three times. And I know I'm completely missing the day-to-day stuff of the most creative community on the planet. But all that is fine by me.

I miss PG more. There was this hope in him that there is someone who understands the correlation between the riskiest larval start-ups, investor appetite and home runs. There was this hope that my seemingly dumb ideas had a chance, however small, of making it big when someone like PG gave me a starting gun.

Paul Graham invited the entire internet to play pickup soccer in (presumably) Cambridge? http://bugbear.com/pickupsoccer.html

That would not work out well today...

Edit: There's also an older version of the Rice and Beans recipe from "Ramen Profitable":

There's a few other recipes as well. Now that PG is retiring from leading YC and running Hacker News, maybe he can write the "Ramen Profitable Cookbook"?

Edit 2: I'm curious what this is meant to be a list of: http://bugbear.com/sludge.html

Woah. He was such a nerd! And I mean that in an endearing way - cars, drawings, quotes, books, family, events - all of the things that we used to nerd out about and then put on our websites.

I guess now we tweet or fbook these things.

Careful, pg, it expires in November of this year!
