Описание: "I love everything about this hilarious book except the font size." --Jon StewartAlthough his career as a bestselling author and on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart was founded on fake news and invented facts, in 2016 that routine didn't seem as funny to John Hodgman anymore. Everyone is doing it now. Disarmed of falsehood, he was left only with the awful truth: John Hodgman is an older white male monster with bad facial hair, wandering like a privileged Sasquatch through three wildernesses: the hills of Western Massachusetts where he spent much of his youth; the painful beaches of Maine that want to kill him (and some day will); and the metaphoric haunted forest of middle age that connects them. Vacationland collects these real life wanderings, and through them you learn of the horror of freshwater clams, the evolutionary purpose of the mustache, and which animals to keep as pets and which to kill with traps and poison. There is also some advice on how to react when the people of coastal Maine try to sacrifice you to their strange god. Though wildly, Hodgmaniacally funny as usual, it is also a poignant and sincere account of one human facing his forties, those years when men in particular must stop pretending to be the children of bright potential they were and settle into the failing bodies of the wiser, weird dads that they are.
When traditional manufacturers began leaving Massachusetts in the 1970s, politicians faced a daunting task: How could they revive a flagging economy?
They responded by starting their own venture capital firm to help finance the launch of innovative, technology-based companies. The Massachusetts Technology Development Corporation would create thousands of new, high-paying jobs.
John F. Hodgman, who retired as president and CEO of MTDC in 2001, shares an insider's tale of how the unique public-private partnership achieved financial success--explaining why the MTDC was created and tracing its history over two decades.
Along the way, he explores the changing patterns of technology start-ups and private venture capital, and how MTDC-funded companies revolutionized their fields. Moreover, he shares case studies of entrepreneurs who tell--in their own words--how the MTDC helped them succeed.
Grab a seat at the intersection of public policy, politics, and business and learn valuable lessons about investing, leadership, and entrepreneurship by studying the inner workings of The Massachusetts Technology Development Corporation.
