Spent the afternoon doing one of my favorite things, loosing myself in the isles at Kepler's Books in Menlo Park, CA. Came across a good book called Gig. Hard to put this one down. It's a wonderful collection of interviews of American's talking about the realities of their jobs.. a whole range of job titles from HR director of a slaughterhouse, Casino security officer, attorney, porn star, congressman, chip layout designer, telephone psychic, professional athletes and many more. Hmm, which one do I one to be? Here's a link to the BN.com page
Greetings. Finaly getting around to posting to my blog again. Testing a narrower view. -- cool. it works. I think it's easier to read narrow columns of data, like in a newspaper.
anything below here is a year old. I had used Radio for collaboration on a MIT/Stanford Venture Lab Telematics conference I helped put on at Stanford last year. I found it super useful to have everyone on the team email the blog rather than each other. Much easier that tending to an overflowing outlook inbox. The conference was a big, sold out success, however telematics is still struggling as an industry in the US. In Japan, telematics is quite popular, even in small, inexpensive cars. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that homes and buildings don't have sequential numerical addresses on the streets there. Genius I guess. Somebody planned ahead, and figured they'd make an impossible address system, that would require a computerized map and GPS to find anything. (^o^) Al
