The real cost of starting a startup?

A friend pointed me to an awesome article in the SF Chronicle today:


I think this empirically brings the total cost of starting a startup to

$70.49 - Tent
$20.95 - Bowl/Cup
$19.99 - Lighters
$319.96/mo - Food
$39.99/mo - Gym (Shower)
$33/mo - Laptop
$20/mo - Slicehost
$18.95/mo - Phone service

One-year total: $5,294.23 + incorporation!

Bonus: no wifi in the middle of GGP is like putting the news.yc noprocrast option on steroids ... you'll get in 3-4 hours of battery-powered coding every night!

Dear Gabor, take note! Maybe starting a startup isn't quite as impossible as they make it out to be. :)
