New year. New team.
A positive approach to look forward.
Thanks to the Washington Post for this article and interview with our executive business team.
I am proud of all team members working on these campaigns at the Wizard’s organization.
Thanks for caring so much and for your professionalism.
I hope to see every one tonight at 11:00 pm at George Mason University.
A good and fun film on SnagFilms. This is a documentary about the TV show Lost; what it means; and how to decipher its symbols. The DVD is an awesome set of work. Watch this film first - it will help. Unravel the mystery by starting here.
The new Wall Street movie is OK; not great – not bad. Worth seeing and remembering the good old days. 
Michael Douglas is good. The cast is good. The writing is a bit overwrought but the direction and cinematography is top notch.
The clothes are cool.
The best thing in the film is the soundtrack provided by ex Talking Head’s David Byrne. That was fantastic.
We think of open developer communities; and ecosystems; and platforms a lot in the Internet industry.
Names that spring to mind are Microsoft; Google; Facebook; Apple; American Express; Visa; and Amazon. They all utilize scale; network effect; open API’s; and third parties. They all capitalize on technology infrastructure; large customer bases; and innovation by many to serve many. Apps are hot. He who has the most developers wins!
When I read this article, I started to believe even more that a sports team and building - such as the Washington Capitals and the Verizon Center – are also platforms and developer communities with thriving third party building businesses off our platform.
Think about it.
But I am surprised and disappointed to note that they didn’t include GridPoint; Clearspring Technologies; SBNation; Mahalo; and SnagFilms in this list. I believe all of these companies are worthy of inclusion.
I also think Groupon should be ranked higher on this list as well as MediaBank.
But hey – I am biased and unabashed in my support of these companies. Click here to see the list from Business Insider.
I start the day in NYC and go to NHL executive committee meetings.
Then head over to American Express HQ for a board of directors meeting.
Then head over to NBA HQ for a team meeting with financial folks.
Then jump on a plane and land at Dulles and head over to George Mason University campus for 11:00 pm meetings followed by camp tip-off at 12:01 am.
An 18 hour day - in two different cities.
I work hard for no money.
