Geeky Weekend

Uncategorized 1 Minute

So, I’m hanging out with Patrick this weekend. Just got done interviewing the MSNTV team who built the cool Media-Center controlling gadget that was shown earlier this week at the Search Champs meeting (got lots of kudos). How did I start the meeting? “I thought it was against Microsoft rules to work on weekends?” Another good channnel9 video in the bag.

Anyway, now we’re hanging out at Stanford University where a bunch of young entrepreneurs are showing off their small ideas at the Entrepreneur 27 tech symposium. Aaron Levie, CEO of Box.net (an online storage service) is up in front of the room (some pictures will be up shortly on my Flickr feed).

Want to be the first on the block to try a new technology or Web service? This is a great place to start.

I love little meetings like this. It’s why Silicon Valley continues to bring the world more than its fair share of new ideas and new businesses. Will one of these companies get big? We’ll see.

One of them already is. Noah Kagen of Facebook is here.

You can tell it’s Patrick and me. Patrick has a white computer. I have a black Tablet PC. 🙂

  1. Cool, sounds like a good utilization of time. I’m too far from Silicon Valley :). Just sitting here with a nice bottle (err glass) of Saint-Emilion Cordier 1998. Hopefully you can get some interesting feed back to share with us all. What are some of the up and coming business models your seeing there?

  3. Business models? That’s easy. Hype up, get funded, from duped VCs, then sell off to GYM or Rupert Murdock and Barry Diller, else die. Or play up thin-ice iffy advertising-supported click-fraudy Adsense slash Web 2.0 Ozzie-like models.

    Laugh. Call me a troll. But (deep down) you know I am right.

  5. Jason: Christopher pretty much nailed it. The shipping folks are gonna get a slice of referal fees. But pretty much everyone is banking on advertising for now.
