Let’s start with a bit of background. How did you get into angel investing? I was one of the early folks at eBay and by 1999 it was completely overrun by consultants from McKinsey, Bain and BCG. It went from being a cool fun startup to an MBA factory. Angel investing was an outlet for me to hang out with people I liked– startup founders doing crazy stuff! Where did you get the money… Read More

Bring in Alec Baldwin, to start.

As expected, SNL kicked off its 42nd season Saturday with a parody of the first debate between Donald Trump (Baldwin, marking his first time in the role) and Hillary Clinton (newly minted Emmy winner Kate McKinnon).

Like it or loathe it, Playboy magazine has played an iconic role in American pop-culture history. Still, few are likely to consider it “presidential.”
News broke Friday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump once appeared in a soft-core porn film called Centerfolds, which was produced by Playboy and released in 2000.
Surprisingly, or perhaps unsurprisingly when it comes to Trump, his history with the magazine goes much deeper.

The man accused of masterminding an elaborate tech-fueled kidnapping scheme in Vallejo, California, has pleaded guilty.
Thomas Johnson—the attorney representing Matthew Muller, who is himself a former United States Marine and disbarred lawyer—had previously put forward a novel legal theory during a federal court hearing in Sacramento earlier this year.

When law enforcement used the handset to call 911 to determine its number, they eventually located its owner. Muller was arrested days later. (In this case, the judge didn’t buy Johnson’s argument—the search was not considered unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment.)
