Interrelativity: musings about interrelatedness

  • 180solutions: Working on a 180 Degree Public Relations Turn

    I was eager to hear what the founders of 180solutions had to say at this morning’s Northwest Entrepreneur Network Venture Breakfast.  I haven’t closely followed the controversy surrounding the company, with respect to their software being associated with botnets, worms and other elements of the "dark side" of the net.  Some have raised issues about…

  • Clean Bills of Health

    Thanks to the gentle prodding by my cousin, Tricia, I realize I’ve been remiss in posting updates on Amy’s health condition.  This is actually a good sign ("no news is good news") — I was posting most frequently when her condition was worse, and have been tapering off as her health continues to improve. We…

  • Proactive Displays: Ready to Roll

    The plasma display cart arrived on Friday, so I was able to assemble all the pieces for a fully operational proactive display over the weekend.  I took a photo to commemorate this milestone: Now on to the business of generating business (!).

  • NWEN Entrepreneur University 2005: Passion, Endurance and Speed

    Last year, Entrepreneur University 2004 provided my first glimpse into the world of entrepreneuria.  I wasn’t sure I was going to attend again this year, since I know so much more about that world now [I note, somewhat sarcastically].  But I’m glad I went to EU 2005, as I learned many new things, relearned some…

  • The Re-emergence of Interrelativity

    After months of seclusion, Interrelativity, Inc., is finally ready to re-emerge and open up to new business opportunities.  By way of brief background: Interrelativity designs, develops and deploys proactive display applications, software that runs on computers connected to large displays and sensors (e.g., RFID readers) that detect people nearby and show visual content that is…

  • Further Along the Road to Recovery

    Amy has been showing continuing signs of improvement.  Yesterday, she felt up to getting out of the house for a few hours to watch both Meg’s and Evan’s soccer games (and both of them scored goals at their respective games (!)), and do a little pumpkin shopping at a nearby farm.  She has been eating…

  • Blogosphere vs. LinkedInosphere: Free vs. Restricted Association

    Joi Ito announced that Technorati is now tracking over 20 million blogs (!).  David Sifry recently provided more statistics on the state of the blogosphere, including: it is doubling in size every 5 months it is currently growing by 70K new blogs per day (nearly one per second) between 2% and 8% are fake or…

  • The Fun, Utility and Frustration of Social Networking Systems

    The MIT Enterprise Panel on Social Networking in Bellevue this week was engaging, entertaining, and edifying.  Mike Flynn (publisher, Puget Sound Business Journal) moderated the interview-style panel discussion with Liz Lawley (professor, RIT, and "A-list" blogger), Bill Bryant (CEO, mophone) and Konstantin Quericke (Co-founder and VP Marketing, LinkedIn).  I chose the title for this post…

  • Mistakes vs. Lessons, Masculine vs. Feminine

    One final note about the NPR interview with Paul McCartney and his producer, Nigel Godrich: Godrich mentioned a “mistake” that McCartney made during a cut that was his “favorite moment in the song” (Fine Line)… and he convinced McCartney to incorporate that into the final cut. This called to mind Sheryl Crow‘s song My Favorite…

  • Openness, Vulnerability, Kindness and Greatness

    I was catching up with Dan Oestreich’s blog this morning, getting inspired by Dan’s writing about — and modeling — the value of being conscious and open.  I took a break to drive the kids to school, and on the way back, listened to Steve Inskeep’s interview with Paul McCartney on NPR, which provided yet…
