His rocket fetish and bio-weapons research notwithstanding, Silicon Valley venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson is known for funding invention, not producing it. Funny how some illegal Obama sex changed all that.

Don't look now — really, don't. Top venture capitalist Tim Draper's daughter, Jesse Draper, has already released eight episodes of her Web video show, "The Valley Girl." Jesse is a screen star, best known in the tween set for "The Naked Brothers Band," but somehow we think her dad had more to do with the guests…

Barack Obama made his last scheduled visit to San Francisco and the Bay Area this weekend, since he can rest assured that even if proved a card-carrying member of the walking undead, area voters would shuffle off to vote for him in November, regardless. So why bother? Because he wants brains money! And he got it,…

"Omar first introduced me to dub reggae many moons ago, and I still have his 'Omar’s Dub' tapes," writes Draper Fisher Jurvetson VC Steve Jurvetson about his friend pictured here. Have a better caption? The best one will become the new headline. Yesterday's winner: "The first child Google engineered from a 23andMe…

Barack Obama's campaign for president has raised a staggering $200 million from contributors through the Web, tapping Valley talent like Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes and Mark Gorenberg, a VC with Hummer Winblad. Obama has surpassed fundraising efforts by his primary opponent Hillary Clinton, even though she's…

Yahoo, CNET, and Plaxo are old news, according to VC blogger Fred Wilson. He writes: "I suggest you ignore all of that and focus on what went on last night in San Jose at the annual Churchill Club Dinner," where venture capitalists Roger McNamee, Steve Jurvetson, Josh Kopelman and others predicted ten upcoming…

Draper Fisher Jurvetson general manager Steve Jurvetson was wallowing in Estonian pride on Friday at a party held by the Swedish ambassador. Sidling up to chess-playing überhottie Carmen Kass, he even managed to elicit a smile from the thin minx, who is most often pictured with the professionally dour expression…

Last night, Steve Jobs attended a Product (Red) party with Bobby Shriver, the charitable venture's chairman, and Steve Jurvetson, the spotlight-hungry, Nazi-missile-loving venture capitalist. Jurvetson got a wall-of-fame shot with his new pals, and transcribed the following conversation:

Draper Fisher Jurvetson has led a $12 million investment round in Redfin, the Seattle-based online real-estate broker. But what does it say that Tim Draper and Steve Jurvetson, the venture capitalists behind such early Internet hits as Overture and Hotmail, have delegated new Web discoveries to junior partners in…

On the occasion of his 40th birthday, DFJ's Steve Jurvetson gives an annotated Flickr tour of his desk space. Not quite as detailed as the Kevin Rose version, but he's got Bill Clinton in the mix.

NICK DOUGLAS — Underneath all that decorum and collared polyester, geeks have crazy personalities waiting to bust out. Normally they have to suppress those personalities to appease investors and look like Real Important Bosses. But when they find their time to shine, they pull poses that would make Star Wars Kid…

Steve Jurvetson, managing director of VC firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson and early investor in Hotmail, has a rich life. In addition to rocketry, mountain biking, astronomy, and storm-drain spelunking, Jurvetson also finds time to snap the odd photo or two. One of his pictures even made it into Maxim this month. With…

PAUL BOUTIN — Breakfast at Buck's in Woodside is the Valley version of a media power lunch at Michael's in Manhattan. Bring your laptop demo, suck down the free Wi-Fi, and order the pancakes. But it's not the power brokers you want to shmooze — it's the guy behind the counter.

What happens when you stick a handful of VCs into a room and ask them to pontificate? Apparently not much. By the time that notables like John Doerr and Steve Jurvetson got to this late excerpted part of their panel at the Churchill club, they were playing the Valley version of those late-night college bull sessions…

It's the Financial Times' turn to run another Bubble Watch piece ("the trend story that never was"). Two writers and a third doing "additional reporting" fail to turn up little insight, even with the willing, quotable help of super-VC Steve Jurvetson.

Telstar Logistics has spread its brand since the 80s to every loading dock, abandoned warehouse campus, and military base it could reach. It's also fake, but when did that stop anyone?
