Hello World! It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve decided to create “Mendelson’s Musings – tales from a reformed drummer, software guy and lawyer.” While I’ve been blogging for years on Feld.com and AskTheVC.com, I’ve generally stayed to professional-related topics like term sheets, LOIs, 409A and the like. While it’s been fun, occasionally I’ve had the urge to break out and talk about some personal thoughts.

I’ve been a musician, software engineer and lawyer and now I am onto career number four: venture capital. Along the way, I’ve had the great fortune of always having intellectually stimulating and fun work. Most of the time, I’ve actually gotten to work with good people, too. From this, I’ve acquired a unique view of the world and now look to impart some of my warped views on others.

We’ll see where this all goes, but the current plan is to talk about things that tickle my brain. Hopefully you’ll find some of this interesting as well.

For those readers of AskTheVC.com, don’t worry – we aren’t going anywhere, rather this is a more personal forum where you’ll get some edgier comments than would normally appear elsewhere with my byline attached to it.

Thanks for taking a look, comments and topic ideas are welcome.
