If you thought Y Combinator was shaking up the entrepreneurial world, wait until every High, Middle and Elementary school have “App Clubs” creating apps used by the faculty and district and generating revenue that funds tech and entrepreneurial focused school programs.

I repeat, it is no place of rest but for effort. Steady, continuous undeviating effort. Our work should never be done and it is the daydream of ignorance to look forward to that as a happy time, when we shall wish for nothing more, and have nothing more to accomplish.”

You’ll notice the big gap in weekly twitter posts on the blog. Well, if you actually come to this blog, you’ll notice it. The problem has been solved, and the weekly posts will start again next week. For those of you that want to catch up on my tweets, you can find them all here: http://www.twitter.com/ericashman.
