But I'm learning about community in a whole new way. Through firefighters who knew my mom through her store (and the same guys drove my mom on the three-hour-drive from Livingston to Billings and back again). Through church members who shared with me that part of my mom's life. Through customers in her store.
I've been forced to join a community I wouldn't otherwise join this week. It's interesting to see just what my mom meant to a community I didn't otherwise know.
The community of Livingston, Montana is an interesting one. When my mom arrived here in the late 1980s the community had been devastated by layoffs at the local rail yard. The community here was dying. People were moving away. Community members tell me that my mom's store helped spark a return of the community. Folks have been coming through here all day telling stories. (She owned a religious bookstore in Livingston).
As I looked around my mom's house this morning I realized that I got many of my values from her. The biggest thing in her home is a huge picture of the Statue of Liberty. This is no mistake. My mom loved her freedom. She wanted to live life the way she wanted to, damn the consequences.
It's why we drifted apart. I didn't get her community. She didn't get mine. Although we both respected each other's community (as I've learned this week, cause she was always bragging about me to her friends).
She also worked hard. She got that from her parents who ran a restaurant in Germany. She also cared about the people she served. Her sign in her store said "you are cherished." And it was obvious from the stories that her customers told me that she did, indeed, live those words.
It's something that I am thinking about a lot. I've been reading blogs while my mom is asleep and I realize just how much you all mean to me and what an interesting little community we've built.
It's also why I reject the whole "numbers game." It's screwed from the get go.
How do you get a million people to do business with you? One at a time.
Dave Winer is right. Saying that 53,651 don't matter is nutty. They are the ones that'll convince the rest of the world that something is worth paying attention to.
Already my blog has gained a whole bunch of people this week that didn't know what a blog was. Family members, friends, customers of my mom's.
Welcome to my community. I appreciate your friendship and support a lot.
And, if you wanna blog your thoughts, just ask how, we'll get you started.
To everyone else, what stunningly beautiful country it is up here. I'll try to post pictures but cell phone coverage is shaky at best (my mom's house is so remote that GPRS signals don't reach it). Update: my mom's house is the brown one in the picture here. The photo of Emigrant mountain is what greeted us out her windows this morning.
I've also decided not to go to Syndicate and really appreciate Eric Norlin and his team's support.
I give you a front-row seat on the future. Focusing most of my efforts now on next-generation augmented reality and artificial intelligence, AKA "mixed reality."

BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram.
Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc).
That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace.
Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble
He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993.
++++++++
SPEAKER PITCH:
Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next.
SPEECH ABSTRACT #1:
TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology?
Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI
Why "the Fourth Transformation?"
Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap.
This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.
This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.
Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #2:
"The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law."
Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world.
He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world.
He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small.
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #3:
"Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?"
As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world.
What role does augmented reality play in both worlds?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

I’m sure the decision regarding Syndicate was a tough one. Often, the things that appear to be important at the time are forgotten and completely unimportant in retrospect.
When my son was born, I was in the middle of a big project. I rushed back to work after a few days to work on that project and missed some precious moments with my newborn baby. I don’t even remember now what that project was about or who it benefited. It certainly wasn’t important when compared to time spent with family. Very few things are.

Robert, I, too see a lot of my Mum in me. Most of my drive comes from her and when I get down, I can sense that she’s the one urging me to go on.
On Syndicate, I believe you made the right decision. Please spend the time with your Mom. I truly feel for you and, in fact, I know all too well what you are going through. I hope she knows that you both have supporters as far away as New Zealand.

Robert: I had hoped to interview you at Syndicate for a chapter in my book but totally identify with your pain. My dad died last August after a five-year bout with Alzheimer’s. It’s agonizing to see parents go through this, but it when we most have to pay back to them the hard work and sacrifice they endured to raise us. God speed to you and your mom.

We’ll miss you at Syndicate, Robert. But not as much as you’ll miss your Mom.
My Mom sent me off before she died. We didn’t think she was going to die at the time. She was recovering. She told me to go home. So I did. Three days later she was gone.
I’ll always regret not staying, and not going back the moment she turned for the worse.
Be there with her. The rest of us will be with you too.

This will be the sixth Mother’s Day that I’ve been through without my mother. It gets easier in some ways, harder in others.
One of the best things about saying goodbye to her was finding out the community that was around her, that I didn’t even know existed. We put a sign up at the door of the funeral home that said “No sad faces inside.” Everyone who came understood the sentiment, and agreed that Mom wouldn’t have had anything but laughter and fun at her funeral.
My only suggestion is to find ways for your family to start now in recalling fun/funny moments with her. Even better, do what we did and start compiling them into a book. We had so many things from inside the family (embarrassing stories, funny quirks, and so on) that we made up a quickie book and put several copies in the funeral home. That helped Mom’s community see the side of her that normally was only visible to the family.

Well, this is the first time I have been on your thread, but it has touched me.
We all have to go through tough times, and I think you made a good decision to not go to syndicate, afterall work comes and goes everyday but family goes only once and you have to make sure that they go knowing that they are still leaving a good part of themselves in you.

Hi. Sorry about your mom. God bless you for your strength and courage.
I’ve been following your blog on and off for a while now, which is somewhat ironic since, being a Java developer, I consider myself on the “other side” of the MS-Java/Linux fence. I just happen to like your balanced take on things, and how you sometimes even give Microsoft grief when it does things you think is wrong. It encourages me in turn to remain a non-zealot in anything, whether it be Java or Linux, and to try and keep a balanced view of things too.
Anyway, again, sorry to hear about your mom. I think it’s great that you still have the strength to write, and write well at that, in this trying time. God bless you and your family.

We here at the Syndicate show think it was no choice at all, Robert. 😉
There are always other conferences (hell, there’ll be another syndicate conference) — but this mother’s day will be a truly singular day for you and your mother. All the best.

It’s easy to forget how important relationships and family are, and to be consumed by the excitement and opportunities which abound around us. Thanks for the reminder to go deeper.

I’m moved by your blog. I’m so not a tech-chick, but I’m envious of the support you’ve found.
My mother – a candidate for sainthood – was diagnosed with Alzheimers a few years ago and was recently told she has cancer. I moved back to the coast to see that her wishes for ‘death with dignity’ would be carried out.
How do I go about setting up a blog? I wrote a column for over four years that was published in a newspaper. I’m almost embarrassed that I have to ask!
Thanks and God bless and support you as you make your way through this difficult journey.

My mother – a candidate for sainthood – was diagnosed with Alzheimers a few years ago and was recently told she has cancer. I moved back to the coast to see that her wishes for ‘death with dignity’ would be carried out.
How do I go about setting up a blog? I wrote a column for over four years that was published in a newspaper. I’m almost embarrassed that I have to ask!
Thanks and God bless and support you as you make your way through this difficult journey.
