What keeps you away from starting startups? 
jnovek: What's interesting is, I see a lot of people saying, "I don't have a very good idea."For the record, my first swing was an awful idea -- social networking mumbo-jumbo.  Half-baked, totally impossible to monetize.  Four of us worked on it for about four months before the whole thing melted down and everyone but me (including my wife!) quit one at a time.When I finally gave up and let it die, I became deeply depressed.  I didn't even want to get out of bed.  I felt like a total failure.  But the truth was, we discovered a bunch of really important things during the total-failure startup.  Those things stewed in my mind, and when the opportunity showed itself, I tried again.  Now all those important things that I learned are contributing to my new company.So, "I have a bad idea" is not much of an excuse.  Take your free time and start working on it.  Put up a reality distortion field and make yourself believe in it.  Failing is also progress.
