It Starts With Science


I am Brandon Weiss. I build startups and web apps. I also Twitter.

That’s Columbia COLLEGE, not University.

I ran into Matt Schick on campus the other day as I was walking to the train.  Apparently he goes to Columbia too.  I know Matt from high school; he went to Northside with me, and we were on Swim Team together.  So we make a little small talk and it turns out he not only goes to Columbia, but he took the five-year scenic route as well (actually, all Columbia students might do that).  He’s also in Interacrtive Arts & Media, the same department as me.  He’s also a freelance web developer.  And he works for a small company doing development.  And he does Ruby on Rails.  And he has a beard.  A beard!  Invasion of the Body Snatchers is starting to seem more and more plausible.
