I spent many years of my career with a series of startups, and have deep respect for the courageous, adventuresome, fire-in-the-belly kind of folks who have what it takes to lead the process from embryonic idea to commerical success. I applaud Sun's sponsorship of this series of Startup Camps: "Startup Camp is a face-to-face, collaborative event dedicated to bringing entrepreneurs and vendors together to share advice and information about getting a company up and running."

I have found after much experience and soul-searching that I am actually more well-suited the to the virtual entrepreneurism that flourishes in larger companies like Sun Microsystem, but a part of my heart will always be in the startup garage. May entrepreneurism live long and prosper!
