ex machina
"If you think everyone does this and I'm being cranky, join me on my analyst rounds. Just in the last week I spoke (so far and it's only Tuesday) to five firms (two of which aren't really companies yet). Only one of them could be said to have a proper business model and they came to it after five or six years doing something else (related) which they could see wasn't going to be very interesting (read: profitable). The two groups I spoke with who aren't firms yet, just ideas (but talking seriously about funding) have all the usual problems: can't figure out who their "real" customer is; don't understand how buying decisions are made or funded in the relevant markets; think there's no competition because they believe something would have to be identical to their idea to be competitive."

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
