What are some places in SF that are open later than 8-9pm? Coffee shops or similar venues work- I just lose some of my momentum after heading back home if I still have work to do in the evening.
You could go to the University of San Francisco - they have an Entrepreneurship program (essentially a BA with startup-related requirements). The great thing is that you'll be a short bus ride from a ton of startup stuff if you're willing to seek it out. That's why I chose here and don't regret it at all.

As a large number of 2+2'ers use the same username/password combo for real money poker sites, this is a fairly big deal. A few years ago it seemed like a ton of the high stakes guys' AIM screen names were being hacked, in order to solicit loans from their friends. Security has been a big problem in the online poker community in general, as these two issues are insignificant compared to both UltimateBet's superuser scandal and the results of Black Friday.
A common maxim I've heard involving bootstrapped startups is that if you don't have the cash to get things done conventionally, you'll be more creative in solving problems that money would've been able to.
So when it comes to governmental privacy threats, I think the same ought to hold true- we don't have the power to stop them, therefore we ought to find creative solutions. I don't know where to start, but a longterm solution in my mind involves more than articles on the Reddit front page. How can we indefinitely protect our right to use the internet in the ways that we choose?

I'm building http://moodstir.com and http://kothpoker.com. If the idea's shortcomings weren't the reason I was rejected, it was likely because I'm currently a solo founder. It seems like there are a lot of awesome teams applying and that alone is hard to compete with.
I would be happy to meet up in SF with fellow failed YC S12'ers.
I contracted the creation of http://moodstir.com, which is twitter for emotion. I'd like to add a twitter login among other things to the site. If the project seems interesting, or you want to hear more and would consider working on the project, I want to hear from you- please contact [email protected]
We are a four man online poker startup (http://kothpoker.com) focusing on heads up (1-on-1) play. We're looking to get into the real money market, which is beginning to become regulated in the United States this year.
At this time we're looking for both a graphic designer and an iOS/front-end developer.
Requirements for front-end stuff:
-Knows how to safely utilize git within a team
-Open-source friendly/proud of your code, shares code on Github or other website that we can check out
-Moderately active within the dev community, has an SO profile
-Proven experience with developing and deploying native (nothing in a UIWebView) iOS applications—can provide links to apps in the store
-Enough server-side experience to be able to investigate and comprehend minor API issues if and when they occur
Requirements for graphic design position:
-A user experience and user interface designer in one—mere graphic designers don't belong making user interfaces. It needs to be a person who can also think in terms of movement and interaction. The equivalent of needing to know jQuery as well for web application UIs.
We're looking to hire someone interested in poker, and initially the compensation would be largely for equity. If you're interested please email [email protected]
