Further proof from Jakob Lodwick that you don't necessarily have to have a good idea to make money in tech. Two of the fameballer's investments have been acquired this year: Tumblr and now MakerBot, where, until recently, he described himself on his blog as a "founding investor." Depending on how many shares he held, it should be enough to keep Elepath's ball pool filled.

"I knew that was going to happen. I also knew that I couldn't say anything," MakerBot CEO and cofounder Bre Pettis told Valleywag this morning at the grand opening of the company's new 50,000 sq. ft. production facility in Sunset Park in Brooklyn. Pettis was referring to a question about yesterday's report that MakerBot was in acquisition talks and might sell rather than raise more venture funding.
