We're doing a hackathon at NYU and if it's like last year's it will be replay of the kind of hackathon they do at TechCrunch. I'm saying our students should be encouraged to do projects that aren't just subsets of whatever was hot with the VCs and angel investors 8 months ago. I thought I was pretty clear about that in the piece, but then you'd have to actually read it to figure that out.

I read the piece - twice, actually, because I was looking for a clear thesis. I still find it strange that you want students to do as you did in grad school at an event focused on startups. If you want to find oranges, don't look in an apple orchard.
