Late to the Dot-Com Game...

...but this guy still has all the accoutrements.  He's Dan O'Rourke, founder of GoodGuide.com, which actually has a pretty cool iPhone app.  The app scans bar codes on products and gives you a rating on how "green" the product is.  The S.F. Chronicle had a good article about the company in the business section of today's paper. 

However, everyone knows the dot-com boom ended in the year 2000.  Out with it went grey-haired CEOs riding Razor scooters around the office... or so I thought, until I saw this picture in the paper.


And then I flipped the page and saw this one...



Be careful GoodGuide... scooters, unicycles and pinball machines were one of the chief downfalls of the first Dot-Com boom.  Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
