Techtacky

This is an interesting chart that i found on Seth Godin’s blog here: As he says: “The challenge is in designing structures and transparency that will attract the good guys while burying or repelling those that seek the new technology (because they can’t find anywhere else to go). In other words, you either need to [...]

Last night i watched this video of Ze Frank (below).  He’s a kooky guy but totally entertaining. I do like that he takes common elements of the internet and uses them to better connect people and to create social happenings and actual events and items.   Instead of people trying to create products and platforms, [...]

A Breakfast with Nolan Bushnell

Image by pescatello via Flickr Last Saturday i was part of the METal group that had breakfast with Nolan Bushnell.  It was a really thought provoking.  My favorite part was the beginning of the speech which he came out and said: Ideas don’t mean shit.  Everyone has good ideas.  Some better than others.  Only over [...]

More Dean Kamen

As many readers know, i’m a huge Dean Kamen fan. I think he’s one of the most important Americans alive.  He’s a true thinker and doer in every since of the word.  He sets goals and attacks them with passion and intelligence.

Sports Guy Mailbag

Q: So you’re looking for the four-way version of paper-rock-scissors that makes the most sense? I think I found it: blow-booze-weed-sleep. [...]

Nathan Myhrvold – Pretty Badass

I just watched this video about Nathan who is quite an incredible guy who spends 18 minutes describing what he does. It’s a lot of very scientific stuff like: Archeology – digitizing Easter Island statues and the pyramids Inventing new nuclear reactors – which are more efficient and better than the current designs Inventing meta-reactors [...]
