Got a kid headed to college? You need Paul…

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Paul Wrubel lives a couple of houses down from me. I just met him at a neighborhood party, which is still going on (I’m teaching people about blogging and Google — lots of people live in my neighborhood who don’t understand all this stuff which is fun).

Anyway, one guy I met is Paul Wrubel who runs TuitionCoach.com. He tells me that tons of people don’t think they can pay for their kids to go to college. Really inspirational guy. Was the principal at Gunn High School in Palo Alto for a couple of years.

Anyway, it’s nice to know that I’m not the only blogger who lives on my street. Here’s a video I shot of Paul.

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.

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.'

  1. That’s a good thing to know who you neighbours are, I’ve stayed on my street for 16 years and I’ve only spoken to 4 of them in that time.

  3. $59/year… I wonder if it works like Mint and shows you some deals to save you money which make nice spiffs for tuitioncoach.

    The sad thing is that normally when families try to “fix” the issues – it’s usually too late.

    Nice looking site though.

  5. Very cool — will have to check it out. Thanks for the tip. (Also, a neighborhood party sounds like a lot of fun, but I wonder if they’re becoming more rare?)

  11. In Arizona they do a neighborhood party city-wide once a year in October or November. I went to several of them this year (last weekend) and the police visited (neighborhood watch) and the fire department showed up and let the kids climb all over the truck. One cul-de-sac had a moon bounce and clowns and face painting and music and a grill that was about four feet wide by 15 feet long.

    They call it GAIN – Getting Arizonans Involved in Neighborhoods.

    It is like “National Night Out” – a national Crime prevention activity.

  17. TuitionCoach is a very cool site indeed. I’ve used it and learned how to save a few thousand on college. It’s a wonder that this info isn’t more openly available to everyone.

  19. Robert,

    My son just started college and it’s pretty tight around here! I’m funding it all out of pocket. I downloaded a few of the pdf’s tonight on Paul’s site and I can see where it’s already going to help!
