Venture Deals: Best fundraising book ever.

If you're fundraising, or thinking about it, there are a lot of places to turn.  This blog post is a great place to begin for advice on an angel or Series A raise.

While many entrepreneurs are 'too busy to blog,' others take the time to share the knowledge they've amassed.  I've created a "bundle" of the top RSS feeds of entrepreneurs who blog, as well as a "bundle" of the top RSS feeds for angels and VCs who blog.  Subscribe to them both.  Included are blogs from the likes of Chris Dixon, Brad Feld, VentureHacks (Nivi & Naval), Dave McClure, Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz and others -- basically all rock stars for geeks.

I've also written a series of blog posts about our experience raising $1MM for AppMakr.  The raise took us 14 weeks, and my goal is to help other entrepreneurs do it more quickly and efficiently.  You can read my "Fundraising Cribsheet Manifesto" here.   Also useful might be the Founder Conference 2010 and Founder Conference 2011 videos I captured.

I'd also encourage you to ask me for the free VentureHacks bible material.   More on that here.

Let's Juice: Comparison of 3 juicers to replace two meals per day

My wife and I have been making an effort to eat unprocessed foods as a part of a healthier lifestyle.  Simply told, that means if there's a label on the food (or if it's in a box), we try not to eat it.  I'll write a more comprehensive blog soon about the thinking behind this approach.

Part of this initiative is to buy organic fruits and vegetables (Rainbow grocery in San Francisco is just amazing) and consume them over other foods as often as possible.  We try to  juice every morning and most evenings, replacing evening meals with juice as often as scheduling permits.

We've gone through three juicers looking for the exact right one, and finally we've found it.  Here's a review of the ones we tried, so you don't have to.

The Jack Lalanne high-speed juicer: This was our first juicer.  (The link at left is for Amazon, although you can also purchase it at Costco for $89).  It actually worked quite well.  It has a large opening and consumed all types of fruits and vegetables we could throw at it.  Cleanup was simple enough, although there were a number of large parts to be cleaned.  But there were two things about this juicer that made it a non-starter for us:
