March 1st. Wow, time flies. Even though it sucks out this morning, spring time is coming. Speaking of new beginnings (Spring, get it?) the 2012 MassChallenge competition is set to kick off today with a big event at their gorgeous seaport office. Governor Deval Patrick, Mayor Thomas Menino, Jonathan Kraft, Dharmesh Shah and Diane Hessan are all set to participate in today's big event. Get your applications ready because they are now being accepted and MassChallenge is ready to give away $1 million dollars. Thirsty Thursday by the way. Cheers.
