Okay, this may not be one of the official achievements.  In fact, I don’t think Kickstarter even has any such awards for users.  Oh well.  If you don’t know what the rainbow pie chart is below, think of it like a Trivial Pursuit piece. Each color  represents a category of product you can fun.  For [...]

The inevitable wireless spectrum crunch is an opportunity to make a lot of money if you’re a smart VC.

I was researching a few things for my previous blog post.  Let me rephrase that, I was trying to break back in to our YouTube channel since I had long since forgotten the password and decided to google my old company.  I found Josh Gille’s portfolio online and the work he did for us.  It turned out great and [...]

I don’t have a lot of time to write a coherent post so I recorded a quick video while driving to campus today.

I love social media.  I’m on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Mobypicture, Reddit, (myspace…), run my own forum, and I’ve registered for more accounts than I can recall.  I also think that businesses should be active on social media.  It is a great way to hear directly from customers and to communicate with them directly.  Your actions are public [...]

Well, the title alone shouldn’t surprise you.  I love startups.  I love open source, and I really love clocks.  So, when I found the ClockOS project on Kickstarter, I had to take a look.  It is a clock made out of 180 surface mount LED’s.  It may not be as practical as the designers say it is [...]
