Revealed! How to become a tech wunderkind in 1,286 easy steps

[Renew Deal]

My editor is ticked at me. This post is way late, but in my defense: It's Ryan Allis' fault. See, Ryan Allis is one of my favorite kinds of people: a young pseudo-tech entrepreneur with an almost Ivy League education, far too much money, and a level of self-love that would make Alexander the Great wince.

Furthermore, Ryan's about to hit the big 3-0. To a guy my age, he might as well be dangling from his umbilical cord, but Ryan doesn't think so. In the Silicon Valley startup universe, 30 is so old, you're practically undead and certainly able to sell yourself as a life experience prophet. In Ryan's case, that's especially true because his life experience is what all Silicon Valley tweeners are looking for.

Yup, you can snarf up the wisdom of a pre-30, tech-bubble-bred, Ivy League dropout via an easily digested 1,286-slide PowerPoint deck. That's not a typo. With 1,286 slides' worth of truly migraine-inducing subject matter, I think it's easy to see why my weekend took a few unexpected turns.
