Car technology needs to advance, and the best place for that to happen in is Silicon Valley.
I'm suggesting that, until America takes care of its debt, untangles the housing mess and gets unemployment under control, we all commit to working six days a week. Yep, move the standard 35-40 hour work week right up to 48 hours.
America might be a dying empire, but it's not going to die in our lifetime - and it doesn't have to die at all.
All we have to do is find something we love doing each day, surround ourselves with like-minded people, and put all of our effort into that one thing at all times.
As content creators, we're benefitting YouTube every day. YouTube couldn't do what they do without us, so do not underestimate your power.
I'm trying to correct what is wrong in journalism today: wasting users' time.
The problem most people make with their media presence is they're trying to craft a media presence as opposed to just consistently publishing who they are.
For a first-time entrepreneur, there's nothing better than being in Silicon Valley because there is so much going on, and there's such a large number of inventors, that even a B level idea or a C level idea could be nurtured and be given venture capital there.
The only time I felt a little too exposed was for a week then I started life-streaming for a couple of hours a day on Qik and Ustream. It became very much like the film 'We Live in Public.'
I ain't gonna work on YouTube's farm no more.
Jon Miller would be amazing for Yahoo because he is extremely good at building display advertising businesses and buying young startups.

There's nobody who has as big of a real-time logistics network than Uber.
The reason I bought the Tesla was to help fund the Model S - and because I like things that are fast, sexy and high-tech.
If you've got a good job, you should bust your butt to make your company as successful and profitable as possible.
I think Google's a brilliant company, filled with brilliant people who have done brilliant things.
This concept that starting a company is so hard and that you'll never make it is conspiracy concocted by the rich and powerful to keep you from trying - and you've fallen for it.
TechCrunch is the publication of record, but they're so bad and uninformed. It's insult after insult. When I play poker with other VC's, we all laugh at TechCrunch.
Let's make it so the more you invest in YouTube, the better deal YouTube gets for you.
The problem today isn't low-quality journalism, it's too much noise. If one out of five 'Business Insider' stories is original, the other four would be culled.
It's very important as a startup to get early press because, although it may not be a large number of people, having a 'Fast Company' story - some of those people that read it are going to be your next employees and hires, your next investors.
Fire fast: Fire people who do not fit into the culture of your company and who are negative.
I find very few folks are watching their Facebook feed, some are watching their Twitter feed, and all of them are watching their email box. So, while social networks are nice, email is still the killer application.
Food is the new health care.
The only way to make podcasting a real big business would be if you could somehow get the top seven podcasters to team up and make a mega-network.
I find podcasting an enticing space.

I'm not an investor in Meerkat, sadly, or, Periscope - I missed both of those - however, I do have a lot of inside information.
The first phase of social media was listening to the conversation. The second phase was joining the conversation. The third phase will be hosting the conversation on your site.
Selling out isn't selling out anymore. It's getting the brass ring.
Of course the first version of an all-electric sports car is going to be expensive.
In the technology industry, a 48 hour work week would be, for most, a vacation.
Airbnb is a much more effective protest than shutting down the Brooklyn Bridge.
People can easily make millions of dollars without much work in America.
Apps, email, and social are the three things Google does not control.
YouTube has made a lot of changes to support time on site - a statistic they care about. But subscriber support is lacking.
No one has looked at news from new atomic units of content, like a tweet on Twitter.
The stuff coming out of Silicon Valley is dorky. Like, it's not very sexy.
Social media, like blogs, are truth-seeking technologies. In fact, the Internet itself is the greatest truth-generating device ever created.
I syndicate my Twitter activity to Facebook, but I get very little traffic from it.
The tech and tech media world are meritocracies. To fall back to race as the reason why people don't break out in our wonderful oasis of openness is to do a massive injustice to what we've fought so hard to create.
Very, very few podcasts have made it to scale, and to me, that says this business will never be big.
I am not trying to model my career to be a one-hit wonder.
Even if you're a relatively small player in search, that can still mean a company that's worth several billion dollars.
