A brief synopsis, “Aron Ralston, 27, used a penknife to slice his arm off below the elbow
when he found himself trapped for five days under the huge rock.”

Even crazier – it turns out the guy was almost killed last month when he was buried up to the neck in an avalanche.

Two quick observations:
(a) you’re a stud, and
(b) someone is trying to tell you something, buddy.

So, what are our collective thoughts on this? I received an email via inCircle (the email distribution parameters look pretty promiscuous and I can guess this is a repeat for some of you) from a ‘98 grad who works at the company in question (see the extended entry for the full text of the email).

From a business perspective, it seems like they have some momentum – government support, investor support, protection of their intellectual assets, and a well-stocked pipeline.

As a total aside, maybe I’ll cancel that lunch order for a turkey sandwich ….
