I watched this live on the internet using the JPL feed and a real-time 3D Java animation of Curiosity status (thanks to dragosr). It was amazingly dramatic. I think that NASA has done an excellent job in public relations for this mission. I mean, how awesome was the 7 Minutes of Terror video?
Speaking at OKDG

(Me talking about the concept behind LTU.)
On Tuesday night I gave a short talk for the Okanagan Developer Group about my experience starting Lining Things Up and 5 topics that often come up when I talk to entrepreneurs. I thought it went pretty well. I wish I could have met with more people afterwards, but there is always next time. This was my first time attending an OKDG meeting, and since I was a presenting I couldn’t mingle as much as I would have liked.
The 5 topics in question:
- Starting
- Location
- Community
- Funding
- Work/life balance

-Clay Shirky, in his “emergency” TED talk about SOPA and why it would create a “consumption-only Internet.”

What a great culmination of some of my favourite things: funky organ music, beatboxing, comedy and particle physics. I am a big Fan of Dr. Reggie Watts.

Vancouver streets after the Canucks lost. The guy playing the trombone and the bloody-handed drummer lend to the surreality of that night.
