VC Investment Panel: What’s Hot and What’s Not

The VC Investment Panel identified what’s hot and what’s not in the VC world.  Moderator Rich LaFurgy noted that VC funding is heating up and shared data about VC and IPO activity in New Media showing which area are hot and which are not (the numbers represent deals done in Q1 and Q2 2004):

Panel members were Deric Emry(ABS Capital Partners), Mark Kvamme (Sequoia Ventures), Rosiland Resnick (Axxess Business Centers), Fred Wilson (Union Square Ventures) and Deven Parekh (Insight Ventures).  Apparently things have heated up to the point that VCs are worrying we’re back in bubble-land.  As one panelist noted he asks himself two questions:  Are we doing silly things (his answer: “no”) and Are we paying silly prices (“getting there”).

Hi! I have a lot of spare time at work and need something to fill the time between 9am and 5pm, so I turned to free online games. I’ve found a couple of games I like and thought I’d pass them on. If you know of any, feel free to add to the list.
For example this http://iceonlinegames.com It has a bunch of card, puzzle, breakout and adventure games. If anyone knows of some other gaming websites, feel free to share them.
