Gyro as in gyroscope, not kebab. So who will make the first app that lets me strap my iPhone to my back wherein its sensors feed a program on the device, or more Siri-like on a remote server, that keep me upright after swilling pints all afternoon? I guess version 1.0 has a backpack with [...]

Doesn’t this sound a lot like an iPad in 1972? Edwin Land engaged Charles and Ray Eames to make the video. Was Land an influence on Steve Jobs? And @thoshughes? This video?

Cool transportation concept out of MIT. Half-size prototype in the video, the actual will be about same size as a Smart when unfolded, much less when folded to park / store.

The Future Of Educaton

Spending a laze Sunday afternoon catching up on email and reading, just now finally had a chance to view Sal Khan’s TED 2011 presentation about flipping education around. If you don’t know about this, he’s the guy who posted some crazy number of very popular Youtube videos teaching 10 minute chunks of everything from chemistry [...]

Since I’m not blogging so much lately I will quickly share an excellent bit of Paul Graham VC wisdom. The topic today is founder control -compel vs convince. After a series A round can the founders retain control of the board? I feel like we’re at a tipping point here. A lot of VCs still [...]
Robert Cailliau Interview

Every now and then TechCrunch surprises, in this instance with an informative video. It’s an informal interview with Robert Cailliau which takes place during a brea at The Next Web conference in Amsterdam. It’s got a bit of everything, factual history, reminiscing, opinion (i.e., iPad, IE, web standards, etc.). Across the board it’s an excellent piece. [...]

Happy New Year to all. Like you, I’m trying to stay warm through this cold snap and trying hard to get back to a balanced schedule of working out and working. Not so easy after weeks of homemade goodies and cheer. BTW, Santa if you’re still in the vicinity I just saw a demo video [...]
