If i'm not mistaken, Jason left his YC-backed startup some time ago. He's working out of D.C now with the Smithsonian.

Also note that Sam Altman was a part-time partner before he sold Loopt. And I know plenty of YC co's who do have fairly involved side projects. The good thing is that the book's content often overlaps with being a founder. It's not like I released a "1001 Ways to Fold a Paper Crane" book.

Correct. Haven't talked much about it yet, though if you're going to Failcon this year, you'll hear all about it. =)
