I have to wonder if the stream will expose any inadvertent goodies, like the photoset did. (I'm thinking of the pic of Justin talking to someone, with a justin.tv alpha test login clearly visible on the white board. I didn't try it, but it sure was tempting.)

In any case, I'll certainly be watching.

Thanks for the heads-up post. This is great. I've long hoped there'd be some way for those of us that can't attend YC stuff to get a peak.

In case any Justin'ers read this: On the Lingr chat I can't send messages in either Opera9 or Firefox2 under Linux. Tried other Lingr chats and they work fine, so probably something Justin specific.

(I'll email this bug report as well)

Some interesting things that happened today at Y-Combinator dinner:

1. On their way to YC dinner, they got stopped by the police.

2. Using my phone, I got to pass hi to Paul and Jessica and congratulate her on the book's success :)

3. I noticed that about 30 founders attended the dinner. From that, I am guessing there are about 15 groups funded this winter.

4. Some prank caller ordered five pizzas (three they paid for) at Justin's name :s

5. We got to see Trevor's awesome robot, live.

It'd be fewer. The mean founder count is surely greater than 2.

There are 13 startups this winter. But there were more than that at this dinner; alumni often come to dinners too. We probably had closer to 50 people here today. We actually ran out of food, so it was handy those guys sent us pizzas.

Wow,how serendipitous. I'm hoping next time the pizza will show up to Justin's apt(two floors below mine) with the bill prepaid and a 24 pack of Sam Adams to boot.

He's coming to startup school too. Speaking at startup school, in fact, so you'll see the speaker's eye view of some of it.
