I could watch these talks on my last day to live & consider it time well spent – two more brilliant TED presentations:

1) UK astronomer, Sir Martin Rees – takes us from the big bang through 600 million years in the future of evolutionary life on Earth with creatures that are as different from us as we are from bacteria.

2) Robert Wright – on the acceleration of technological evolution as launched on the same trajectory as human evolution – discussed in the context of world peace & moral introspection.

The new TED talks are out – get ‘em while they’re hot!

Neil Gershenfeld – an MIT professor introduces revolutionary low-cost invention in far corners of the Earth.

Saul Griffith – teaches that the universe is a computer. Covers self-replicating products down to the nano level, & a ’smart’ rope that can sense when it’s in danger of breaking.

Charles Leadbeater – leverages ideas from The Innovator’s Dilemma, and discusses ways of multiplying humanity’s creative ability by empowering consumers to be innovators.

Thank you, TED.

Entrepreneurial idea that hit me like a rock during this morning’s meditation. Recorded in under 5 minutes, seems like a solid way to motivate advancements in science, medicine, and technology. Feedback & critique appreciated!

This podcast shares an entrepreneurial idea that will revolutionize the world of politics by exposing the world’s most brilliant speakers on any given topic and empowering everyone to contribute meaningfully in a truly democratic system.

The podcast itself is preliminary and not intended for public adoption. I go deeper into theory than the general public would care to hear, and plan to release a video-cast in the future with the objective of inciting massive public demand.

First few minutes are informative and background – the meat of the idea comes middle to end. Feedback & critique appreciated!

One week after starting at Google – I share the thought process I went through deciding to join in the context of my long term career strategy. I don’t plan on releasing any more work-related podcasts in the future as I am not authorized to speak on behalf of Google. Additionally, as much of my work is confidential there is no way to discuss it anyway. My hope for this podcast is that listeners interested in professional development learn something from this experience that may benefit them in the future. If you’re curious why someone might take a job as an employee that pays less than half as much as they could make in their own company, maybe this can shed some light on that for you.

Sorry for the delay between postings. I moved to Ann Arbor, started work at Google, went a while without internet, etc. I made a quick video of the new apartment a few days ago & am posting it here for those interested. I realize exposing what a cornball I am may disqualify myself from any position of major responsibility in the future, but I am fine with that. I’m an eccentric individual & I’ve learned enough to be confident & happy in my entrepreneurial\business endeavors regardless of being a total nerd. w/o further ado, the new apartment!
