I'm building a startup called ServiceVines. I live far out from civilization and like it. I get really too excited over tech, economics, and food.
Layer upon Layer
One of the things that stuck with me from the book I read several months ago "What Technology Wants" is how written word has contributed to science. Kelly makes what seems like an obvious point now that without written text we would constantly have to rediscover things. However, now we can write down the formula or the methodology . . .
Great Launchpad Experience
5 Months ago I received the acceptance email to the Founder Institute. I had applied just to see if I could get in, once I did I was determined to go even though the class was in Houston. I told my employer who supported me and helped me to get to classes each week.

After thinking about it further and realizing that my friends where tired of hearing the ten thousand start up ideas I had I decided . . .
To the highest bidder
One of the problems with all the app stores is "app discovery" it's searchable but if it's a common keyword maybe you don't find exactly what you are looking for. I can't imagine it's much longer before apple and google begin to sell "adwords" for apps. My guess is that it would work exactly . . .
HI MOM! Look I'm on TV
I'm so bullish on video and the idea that you can see anyone, anywhere, anytime. I can Imagine Dr's talking to patients without the person leaving the house, or for example I'm dealing with a car insurance issue currently what if though a video chat I could show the adjuster what he needed to see?
