It's February 5 and I'm off to Africa
Why? That's not important. What's important is that I'm fully-- FULLY-- vaccinated. I've also got anti-malarials and cipro. I won't be blogging or Twittering much while I'm gone, so enjoy this little farewell video shot from the floor of the San Francisco Department of Health. When I get back, it's TechCrunch time!

New Book
An unforgettable portrait of the emerging world's entrepreneurial dynamos Brilliant, Crazy, Cocky is the story about that top 1% of people who do more to change their worlds through greed and ambition than politicians, NGOs and nonprofits ever can. This new breed of self-starter is taking local turmoil and turning it into opportunities, making millions, creating thousands of jobs and changing the face of modern entrepreneurship at the same time. To tell this story, Lacy spent forty weeks traveling through Asia, South America and Africa hunting down the most impressive up-and-comers the developed world has never heard of....yet.

Have a wonderful time in Africa. Look out for Bill Gates and his tame mosquitoes. I recommend large quantities of gin and tonic to keep the quinine levels up. The little buggers hate it.

Have fun in Africa. I think that everybody despises getting vaccines for foreign travel. Looks like you made it through with flying colors (and I think a lollipop! That would work for me as well.)
Good Luck!
