Yes, we’re selling the infamous Red Couch, among other things, at a garage sale that starts tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. at our house. 14414 86th PL NE Bothell, WA 98011.

This couch is infamous cause it was used on stage at Gnomedex last year and has had famous and interesting people like David Allen sitting on it.

Yeah, I guess I should list this on Edgeio which is the cool way for bloggers to sell their stuff.

Oh, and feel free to drop by. Patrick is selling Lemonade and Cookies.

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.

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?"

  3. Caveman: how about you? I need more cool people to sit on my couch. BTW: is your Shift key broken? My son broke one of his keys on his Mac and has a similar problem.

    Chris Pirillo said the couch was ruined after last year’s bloggercon and we believed him. Shame on us – it was a dodge so he could keep the couch to himself.

    Congrats and good luck on the move.

  7. Robert, do you have a preview of other items you’ll be selling tomorrow? Anything else that Pirillo said was “ruined” that might be cool? 🙂

  17. I don’t think I am in the same league as Caveman Zog but I _have_ sat on that very couch (Robert even moved off it to make room for me) and can attest to its comfort.

  21. Dmad: yes, I can use Dictionary.com. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/infamous

    This is a marketing trick. First, it gets you to correct my grammar, which makes me realize you still read me. 🙂

    Second, things that have a “notorious reputation” are more interesting than things that are “good.” After all, it’s a red couch. What makes it marketable is a good story. Or a good lie. Oh, wait, I saw that in a Seth Godin book somewhere.

  25. Aren’t you going to inventory and provide full disclosure of each item for sale and how you obtained it, Robert? 😉

    Looks like you’ve got nice weather there today for a garage sale. Have fun.

  29. Well, maybe not the Smithsonian just yet. Perhaps you could create a blog for the red couch and run a series of posts about the couch’s experiences hosting all the people who sat on it. You could call the blog “The life of a red couch” or something like that.

    Could be quite an interesting perspective on all the famous people who got to sit on the couch?
