Grad Hacker

This is an inspiring way to start off the new year. Students doing cool things. Click the link below and scroll down to “23 Student Innovations.” I want to highlight a prof’’s comments in the first article about the movie listings iPhone app:

Students come to Mr. Von Ahn during his office hours to talk about business models. “One thing I recommend to them,” he says, is that if they are going to apply for a job or grad school, “it looks so much better that you started a company versus a 4.0 G.P.A.”

Hmm…where have I heard this before?
