Is this a good time to remember that Microsoft has never designed a computer OS on their own? They bought DOS and both Apple and Microsoft got their inspiration from Xerox.

I applaud their willingness to go outside of the box, but I decry their inability to recognize some of the inherent functionality of the initial box.

section9 replied to your photo: Setting my Final Fantasy Fantasy Football lineup…

Seeing as how I’m 0-6, I’m completely unqualified to answer this.

This is my first year playing, so I’m 5-1 completely by luck. That being said, I’d still be undefeated if I didn’t tinker with my lineup Sunday morning to bench Jordy Nelson and Jerrell Freeman. Stupid.

About

On my better days, I call myself an entrepreneur. Mostly I like to play in the nexus of technology and the Internet.

I run a consulting company that works with entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. S.I. has worked with a broad base of clientele including feature films, TV series, A-list talent, online content creators, Multi Channel Networks, The Department of Defense, DARPA, and The Congressional Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorism (CPWMD).

I'm also the CEO of a stealth startup working to power the next phase of mainstream media (more on that soon.) At nights and on weekends I build things that I think should exist (online and off.)

Prior to this, I was the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip Networks, where you can discover the best in original web series. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest such as politics, education, the future of mass media, and the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases awesome online video.

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
