Looking back at the Summer
Summer of 2007 sure has been an interesting one. It's been one of self discovery and a lot of growth, both for me personally, as well as Speak With Me, Inc. Speak With Me, Inc. has received it's first bits of angel funding, we've hired a few new spectacular people, and we're puttering along pretty well. I have been slowly getting used to the many more requests for my time from all of the new people both interested in the company, and working with the company! We're still in a bit of a stealth mode, so our website still doesn't show much yet - all good things come to those who wait!

HP spying even more out of control than I thought!
Wow. So heretoforth I didn't publicly post my opinions of the HP pretexting scandal, I did chime in on Scoble's blog but I just read how far it went -- this is totally stalking.

Steve Wozniak kissing his dog... err... getting interviewed by the Seattle Times
Cutest picture ever! I hope Crusier didn't push Woz into the pool...
Great little interview, too. Woz signed my Apple II back at CMU in Spring 2002 when he gave a talk there. Looks like he has an autobiography coming out -- I wonder if we could get him to do a book signing party at the Computer History Museum... -
The castle in the sky -- what an amazing film by Miyazaki!
On Saturday night, Cartoon Network aired what was one of the most fabulous, timeless pieces of animation I've ever seen -- Laputa, The Castle in the Sky.
Laputa captured many forms of the human condition -- greed, love, adventure, fundamental goodness of heart in some people, fundamental evil of heart in others -- all captured in a magical journey that feels like another world, yet with many similar problems to the world we live in. I absolutely loved the movie, as it touched me on all levels! -
Using the dialogue manager for 13 hours straight was as addicting as crack...
Nothing like changing your tunes at 90 mph while going through the tunnel on I-90 in the rain... while keeping all my concentration still on driving. How addicting? Almost as addicting as track day at Laguna Seca is for a speed freak and car nut like myself...
Oh, also while in Seattle, I attended the Podcast Hotel, caught up with Chris Pirillo and made a few new friends, including Bre Pettis and Cielito Pascual. Bre and Cielito so graciously helped me film a video of the dialogue manager in Seattle, which will be broadcast on Bre's Blog in about 2 weeks as a Podcast.
What in the world was my car and me doing up in Seattle for a week? Well, a roadtrip to visit friends of course! Oh and speaking of friends, I do believe I owe a thank you to an old friend who tried to set me up two and a half years ago with a group of people in Seattle I happened to finally meet with this time around...
