Musings on Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Clay Shirky's essay on permanet, nearlynet, and wireless data arrived in my email inbox within a couple of hours my discovery that the new, ad hoc, peer-to-peer, 54Mbps network that my colleague Justin Bigart and I created through the incredibly simple installation of $50 wireless adapter cards stuck into the sides of our notebook computers allowed us to seamlessly work with our favorite collaboration tool, Groove Workspace. Flexible, loose couplings that allow for adaptive networks reflect how we really work. That's why highly structured, top down, centralized networks don't work very well in fast changing environments. That's why we're deep in the process of rethinking and re-executing the gateways to the Pioneer Entrepreneurs network.
