Bald hens from egg factory get help from troubled kids; see light of day for first time
via thestar.com
While the still from the video isn't showing up above, I encourage you to click on the link above to see the video of these poor naked hens who've been kept in the dark all their lives and are now getting a second chance on life with the gracious help of Cobble Hills Farm Sanctuary. Kids from the local foster home have volunteered to feed and care for the chickens, who eventually can lose their hen-sized blankets and return to their feathered glory.
I had chickens growing up and know they make great companions. Glad to see the kindess in action here.

Just back from London - met w/cool tech co's; some new, some old, somebody maybe sold
An interesting start of my trip occured when I checked into the hotel, only to discover there was no electricity. The hotel staff had to show me to my room via flashlight. I also got a free workout, as I had to lug my suitcase up 6 flights of stairs. But that's okay when you've had to sit on your butt for 9 hours confined in an airplane.
My time in London was jam-packed. So much so that I'm very grateful that I packed a couple of extra PowerBars, which I call "emergency rations" in case my jetlag biorhythms decide to kick in and crave dinner at 2am. In this case, due to the fact that I decided to walk to as many meetings as I could, I didn't leave enough time in for food during the day and felt a bit famished more often than not.
The exciting bits of my trip are of course the parts I can't really share, but suffice it to say that I had great meetings with up-and-coming startups, those who have already gained traction, and those who are making serious revenues already. While I was there, EA announced their acquisition of Playfish and Playdom received a hefty investment. The games category is blazing hot and the tech industry overall seems to be building up much-anticipated momentum. There seems to be a case of acquisition fever brewing, so perhaps we'll continue to see some exits.
