D7 starts Tuesday.  As usual, the speaker list is killer.  But, I can’t go as I have a board meeting in LA on Wednesday and I’m keynoting the IdaVation Conference in Boise on Thursday.  My solution – the new All Things Digital iPhone app.  It is built with the latest version of the NewsGator iPhone […]

A few weeks ago I wrote a post titled The Maturing of the Implicit Web.  In it I talked about new releases from AdaptiveBlue and OneRiot.  As I sit here in my hotel room in Seattle waiting for TA McCann (CEO of Gist) to show up for our pre-board meeting run, I’m pondering how much […]

My partner Jason Mendelson (an ex-lawyer) has a dynamite post up titled Quick Ways To Get Fired as a Lawyer.  While some of my best friends are lawyers (or ex-lawyers), I’ve encountered most of the stupid lawyer tricks that Jason enumerates in his post.  The big ones (immediate termination) are: Screw around with redlines. Endorse […]

I was in a board meeting yesterday with a company planning a major commercial release of their product “at the end of summer”.  We managed to turn this into 8/31/09 at 11:59:59pm pacific time (since I don’t believe you can release something unless there is a time/date stamp associated with it.)  As part of this […]

In February, I did a “Beers and Boulder with Brad” event in Seattle.  Local Seattle-based entrepreneurs Dave Schappell of TeachStreet and T.A. McCann of Gist put the event together and I was blown away by the response. Several hundred people showed up; I had a great evening of talking about entrepreneurship, local entrepreneurial communities, and […]

I’m heading out to Seattle for a board meeting and a few other things.  Tonight, I’m going to be doing an event called Beers and Boulder with Brad.  I’m going to talk about entrepreneurial communities, the critical importance of entrepreneurship and innovation today,  TechStars, what we’ve done in Boulder to drive entrepreneurship that can apply […]

Rocky Radar has a great schedule of a bunch of entrepreneurial events happening from 2/2 – 2/9 in and around Boulder.  I’ve been getting lots of questions lately from people recently asking “how do I get involved in the Boulder entrepreneurial scene” – the short answer is “show up!” I’m participating in a couple of […]

Q4 vacation earlier this month was the site of my 43rd birthday (to those who wished me a happy birthday, thank you!)  We spent the week in Cabo at the One&Only Palmilla my new favorite place to disappear from the world for a week.  I hadn’t been reading much lately (no clue why – I […]

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know I’ve been an investor in NewsGator since it was one person (Greg Reinacker – the founder).  We had a board meeting yesterday (I’d guess it is my 25th or so NewsGator board meeting) and it was the best one yet.  I’m incredibly proud of […]
