Management Experiment at Architel →
Architel is the engine that has allowed Scott and I to fund more than five other businesses/initiatives since 2001.

Filed under: Displays, GPS, Transportation
We’ve seen quite a few next-gen nav device concepts, but none with as much potential as the Virtual Cable, from a New Jersey company called Making Virtual Solid.

Checklist for Idea Evaluation →
I get more than a few calls each day from entreprenuers with an idea for the next big web application (the next youtube, the next myspace, the next…). Ev Williams wrote a post titled, “Will it Fly? How to evaluate a new product idea.” He suggests a seven point test for your idea (as compiled by Carleen Hawn):

25 Killer Actions to Boost Your Self-Confidence →
Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. - E.E. Cummings
One of the things that held me back from pursuing my dreams for many years was fear of failure … and the lack of self-confidence that I needed to overcome that fear.
It’s something we all face, to some degree, I think. The key question: how do you...
