Chris Sacca's 'What is left?'

Tonight, TechCrunch will celebrate the last twelve months of fearless ingenuity, dogged ambition, and above all, plain ol' good luck that underpins the stories of all the dauntingly impressive companies that have been nominated for The 2009 Crunchies . Many of the entrepreneurs who inspire me each day are among those contending for awards tonight including: Posterous , Gowalla , DailyBooth , Zappos , Betaworks , and my beloved Twitter . As in years past, I am thrilled to see the unwavering passion of these teams rewarded with some due recognition from their peers and, more importantly, from their users. It is in the light of all of their hard work and success that it feels weird to me, uncomfortable really, to have been nominated for the Crunchie for Best Angel Investor. It isn't that I don't think I am a helpful angel investor.
