A Bunch of Hype

Friday, June 5th, 2009
Wow. Sometimes I read statements in the media and have to shake my head.
 
Payments is a space we know something about. Revolution Money is one of the companies I am very excited about. I serve as Chairman. We have a great investment group and a fantastic, experienced management team and sophisticated investors in the space such as Citi and Goldman to name a few.
 

Weekend Viewing “Brotherhood: Life in the FDNY”

Friday, June 5th, 2009
Good firefighters die.
 
This is an amazing film and very moving.  It is filled with heroics and is gritty and true to life. I have several friends from Brooklyn who are firefighters. It is a nail-biting job. They risk their lives to save people and property. They have each other’s backs and they are a true brotherhood. They have no choice.
 
Watch this terrific film this weekend - for free - on SnagFilms.com. Click here.
