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?

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 [...]

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. [...]

You could say we brought upon ourselves the economic and environmental tragedies of today. And you’d probably be correct. Everyone is still finger pointing because, by definition there can be no absolute answer, so it’s safe. Fairness is at the bottom of all of this, but where? And why. Perhaps a narrow definition of private [...]

This is a great example of someone doing it right. Wish I could have been in LA for this. First, if you don’t know what El Sistema is, watch the video. Okay, so now imagine how this concept, all the good will and constructive energy, could be expanded. And then the reporter said: “You are [...]

I’m at home tonight, working my way through my inbox which is about at attractive as a coastal USA beach after the spring breakers have been partying there all day. But I will get to the bottom of it, I’m going to do it! Anyway, I’m not going to post anything half clever here tonight [...]
