Congrats David!

We're already seeing original Nintendos being fashionable. Who doesn't love playing the original Mario? Maybe in 20 years people will still want to play Rock Band.

Those are great thoughts - just what we need. Thanks!

Whoops - www.adynammic.com :-)

ColinAke.com : Vacation Bound!

Enjoy the vacation. Have you read Groundswell? (It's about social media in the enterprise.) Have fun in the mountains - it's beautiful up there.

ADynammic : Tradeoffs and Cities

Thanks, awesome comments. Colin: it is rewarding to be doing this in Clemson, but it certainly isn't easy. I wouldn't worry about being transient. I'd worry about being somewhere that gives you the best quality of life - whether that's in the southeast or not. You have plenty of time to explore. Rob: I'm sure your time will come to make your mark in this state. You're already doing it by spreading the Clemson name across the country and showing everyone that there are people doing brilliant things in this state.

ADynammic : What if employees could be traded?

Yes - another good improvement on the model. Who wants to start a company?

Mendelson's Musings : The Top 20 Albums Of All Time

Trying to do this with at least a visible rating model is worth applause. Very cool to see Stevie Wonder at number one. I always wonder how his music managed to skip over my generation.

ADynammic : What if employees could be traded?

Good point - you're probably right. Startups demand commitment - something probably lacking from someone who is willing to be traded.

ADynammic : On failure

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:10:41 +0000

Good call on Hellboy. I guess if we fail we could just add 2 to our name, or we just become "Incredible" like the Hulk. Or we could "Return" or "Begin" ala Superman/Batman. Or we could be very successful, take 20 years off, and relive our glory days. (Indiana Jones, Terminator, Die Hard, Star Wars.) The parallels between startups and movies ....

IntenseDebate Blog : Who Owns Your Comments?

Tue, 3 Jun 2008 16:58:29 +0000

In traditional journalism it's common practice for letters to the editor to be modified/edited for language/context/grammar. There's nothing wrong with this if the commenter has full information before posting. Secondly, the capability for a commenter to remove postings provides insurance against misrepresentation. But, the idea of a person besides myself editing my comment is certainly a frightening thought.

Why not create a process ex ante for providing information to commenters of the blogger's policy for editing/moderating comments. Then let the market figure it out.

ADynammic : Central planning

Sat, 31 May 2008 10:37:07 +0000

Martin - I'm fine with my content being indexed/analyzed/shared by any service. And the analytics thing, while certainly a thorn, isn't the bigger issue here. It's that the process of having however-many-companies crawling the blogosphere and the web is really inefficient. What are your thoughts on sharing data sets with other companies?

ADynammic : On Disappointment

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:49:06 +0000

Thanks David - we definitely will. Good luck with TechStars this summer!

ADynammic : Startup hubs?

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:31:09 +0000

Well said Rob. We realized that last weekend - met so many great people at the events. Interestingly enough there is an angel group forming in Greenville. I'm anxious to see how that plays out.

Is Dallas really that bear? Have you check out Austin at all? I'd think there would be plenty of people there to meet, especially this time of year.

Rob Johnson : SXSW 2008: A turning point for conferences?

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:57:22 +0000

Nice post Rob. I'd support audience participation, as long as it's in a structured manner. I get the feeling that what happened at SXSW wasn't productive for the audience, even if the interview was a bit off. But yes, as instant communications become more acceptable, conferences will need to adapt. At least SXSW got people thinking.
