Medford Public Library Booksale
As you can see, I found a few good things at this year’s book sale, including several items on my Common Kitchen Wishlist. First recipe to try? The Remarkable Fudge recipe from Better Homes and Garden’s New Cook Book that comes so highly recommended by Parker.
You can also see a few books on finance and small business management in there, so it’s not all fun and games…

On the fluidity of business plans
Marc Andreessen has just posted the best constructed argument I’ve read (yet) for writing a business plan to make sure your idea is competent, setting out to execute it as planned, and then letting your audience/market direct your final product. We are currently in the execution phase over at Common Kitchen, although our business plan says we will be entering the user directed chapter in a month or so…

An Introduction
For those of you who do not know me, I graduated from Colby College in 2005 with a double-major in Computer Science and Classical Civilizations, and went straight into graduate school at Tufts University in Computer Science. I just finished my Masters degree (specializing in Machine Learning) and decided to try my hand at entrepreneurship with my colleague Parker Morse.
The business plan for Common Kitchen, our next-generation food community, made finalist in the Tufts University 3rd Annual Business Plan Competition, and we are both about to move the project from nights and weekends to full-time. Another colleague, Audrey, has joined us as Community Manager, allowing Parker and I to focus on building a solid infrastructure for the site. We anticipate a public launch in late August 2007, but if you would like to become involved sooner, you may join our focus group or alpha testing corps at commonkitchen.com. In the long term, we plan on leveraging the success of this initial site by building other single-interest user communities in areas such as sports, music, film, and fitness.
