- 5 Important Issues From 5 TEDxBerkeley Speakers: Help Us Pave the Way
Friday, May 17, 2013
As a co-curator of a TEDx event, you have a joyful honor of bringing important issues you want to see brought to the table…to the table, or in this case, a TEDx stage. Having been involved in the curation process at TEDxBerkeley for a few years now, there are speakers and writers I've met along the way who have haunted me — positively and negatively — the latter often provacative enough that regardless of whether it's a pretty story, you know the story must be told. Personal issues that keep me awake at night include the ugly embrace of processed food, climate change & the implications for wildlife and the world, the growing divide between the rich and the poor, our sad state of healthcare and education, and women's inequalities. There are countless others, but there's only so much that can absorb my already noisy back channel at any given time. At TEDxBerkeley this year, we were able to bring some of those conversations to attendees. I have always wanted Ro … - Fourth Annual TEDxBerkeley Event To Kick Off April 20
Monday, April 15, 2013
The fourth annual TEDx Berkeley Event (a 501c3) will kick off on Saturday, April 20, 2013 at Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall with 13 thought provoking and renowned speakers and three performers, set to tackle this year’s theme: Catalyzing Change. This decade presents significant and global change that will impact how we use technology, how and where we work, communicate and use utilities and applications across industries, from education, mobile technology, biotech and biofuels to healthcare, government, sustainability and beyond. Learning and sharing ideas in a way that provokes change and making the world a better place is what TED events are about. Given that Berkeley is an epicenter of innovation, inspiration and talent, it’s the perfect location for speakers and attendees alike to participate in this important global conversation. Below is a list of the 2013 TEDxBerkeley speakers and performers: Chris Anderson: Chris is the co-founder and chairman of 3D Robotics, former editor of WIRED … - HAPIfork Parades Around Austin Taking in the Energy of SXSW
Monday, March 25, 2013
HAPIfork, which has taken on a mind of his own, decided to embark upon Austin during South by Southwest (SXSW) with Andrew Carton and I. He made a few interesting stops along the way and had quite a few encounters, starting with a little saloon action in the lobby of the Driskill Hotel. After all, we were in Texas after all. Then he headed to the Rackspace party where he met Travis. A little more Western cowboy and rope action along Fourth Street. When the bartender at Eddie V's Steakhouse remarked on his color, shape and design, he asked the chef to write Congratulations across the top of our dessert plate in delicious chocolate. It isn't quite HAPIfork's birthday yet, but he wasn't displeased to see the surprise. Nor were we. It's hard for HAPIfork to stay away from a dinner table, after all, it's one of his favorite places to hang out. The guys at the Connected Health booth on the SXSW Convention Center floor said hello to HAPIfork. There were even a fe … - Al Gore on the Environment, Healthcare, Guns & Democracy at #SXSW
Thursday, March 21, 2013
I've met Al Gore a few times now over the years and have heard him speak about a dozen times, maybe more, particularly since he became so entrenched with technology while he was in office and after the fact. It should be no surprise that he was in full form at South by Southwest (SXSW) this year on the main stage in Austin in a fireside chat with WSJ's Walt Mossberg. Those of us who know his agenda and his passion for climate change were waiting for him to dive full force into his 'green' agenda, which he did towards the end of his talk. They started with the digital revolution, appropriate given the "Southby audience." Print media are devastated he said, which is a very old discussion in the world of social media, where SXSW is the Queen Bee conference that takes such discussions to the next level…and this one started eight or so years ago. That said, mainstream consumers in small towns are still reading newspapers and while they all may have a cell pho … - Happiness in the Workplace Panel at #SXSW Interactive
Thursday, March 21, 2013
One of the great things about South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive is that you tend to get panels about topics you wouldn't find in other conferences of its ilk. Given that I've been spending a lot of time focusing on the topic of happiness — in my personal life as well as my professional life — I couldn't resist going to the HAPPINESS panel with Jenn Lim from Delivering Happiness, Brian Welle from Google and Voodoo founder Chris Shultz. Delivering Happiness started as a book by Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos, one which I've read personally three times, an integral focus of it is on their commitment to superior customer service and how that transformed their business. Since its launch, it has been translated into 20 languages and has moved into a movement. Jenn cites three areas: company, community and cities, such as what Tony and others are doing to transform downtown Las Vegas. Most of the discussion eventually led to higher purpose and the need for humans to s … - Dan Pallotta: Think About a Charity's Dreams, Not Their Overhead
Thursday, March 7, 2013
Dan Pallotta's work brought the practice of four-figure philanthropy within the reach of the average citizen who had never raised money for charity before in their lives. 182,000 people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds participated in these inspiring, often grueling, long-distance events that raised $582 million in nine years – more money raised more quickly for these causes than any private event operation in history. Three million people donated to the events. Then, he faced issues because of how things are currently structured for non-profits. Dan spoke on the TED 2013 stage this year and below are a mish mash of my notes from his talk. He notes that there are many discriminatory issues that the philanthropy industry faces today: 1. Salaries: the median compensation for a Stanford MBA is $400K, but for a medical charity, it is roughly $232K. For a hunger charity, it is about half of that. You can’t get people to do that year after year and take that kind of financial hit w … - TEDActive 2013: Bubble Guns & Global Conversations on Lawns & Haystacks
Tuesday, March 5, 2013
As a long time TEDster, I had never been to its offshoot, an event that happens simultaneously every year called TedActive. It's essentially TED, but less expensive and less bells and whistles. Since it is held a couple of hours from the main event, the speakers are obviously not on-site, however you do experience them through a satellite feed, which includes views of the audience, the main stage and the impact the speakers have on that audience in real time. For years, TED has something called the 'simulcast' room, which is where you can view the talks in a separate room on a 'screen' not far from the main room. Why some people love hanging out in the 'simulcast room' rather than the main room is that it allows them to quietly chat in the back, or type away on their keyboard if they have work to get done. OR, if you're an A++ type who is simply too digitally connected to sit still with nothing but an old fashioned notebook among 1,000 of your … - TedActive Write-Up in Upstart Business Journal
Monday, March 4, 2013
What can an entrepreneur get out of TED or TEDActive, where today the lineup includes everyone from a yo-yo champion to a punk, burlesque singer to SpaceX and Tesla co-founder Elon Musk? I was interviewed by Upstart Business Journal's Teresa Novellino over lunch one day about my experience at TEDActive last week, my first 'Active' event after attending many TED's over the years and a growing number of TEDx events around the globe. Here's a link to her story. Below, I am hanging with TEDx Bordeaux organizer Emmanuelle Roques. Yes, Bordeaux France, the place where fabulous wine comes from and let's just say I'm a fan. BTW, I spoke to a number of French entrepreneurs, academics and geeks at the event, as well as people from nearly every continent. It's one of the things I really loved about the TEDActive experience: it was incredibly international with over 72 countries represented this year.

Sunday, March 3, 2013
Techcrunch's Mike Butcher interviews Alex Hawkinson of Smart Things and Fabrice Boutain of HAPILABS in an interactive chat on the Web Summit stage in London last week. Below is a video of their conversation, which includes demos. - DEMO Mobile Unveils Angel Alley Program for Startups
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
DEMO Mobile just unveiled the opportunity for six startups to participate in the Angel Alley program at DEMO Mobile for no charge. This was made possible by generous support of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (WSGR), which is sponsoring all six displays at Angel Alley. There will also be a competition: if you are a bootstrapped start-up without any professional angel investment, apply by February 22nd using this form. A team of judges will select up to 20 companies from the broader applicant pool to pitch to a panel of VCs and start-up founders at the wsgr|SOMA offices at 139 Townsend Street on March 7th. The top six companies from the pitch competition will be invited to attend and display at DEMO Mobile April 17th in SF. As an added bonus, one of the start-ups in Angel Alley will be selected to present an Alpha-Pitch based on an audience vote. - PC Magazine & Beyond: It's Award Time for HAPIfork
Monday, February 18, 2013
With the craziness of CES and launch of HAPIfork behind us, it's great to be reminded of the love consumers, industry illuminaries and press alike gave to HAPILABS during that long but exhilerating week in early January. We were excited to learn that PC Magazine awarded HAPIfork a Best of CES Award from the show. Writes Dan Costa in his post: "Given the nationwide obesity epidemic, it is a wonder no one thought of this before. We need smarter forks. The HAPIfork is a little bigger than you standard fork, but it does a lot more. Charge it up and it will monitor not just how many bites you take, but also the pace at which you eat. If you try to take more than one bite every 10 seconds, the fork will gently vibrate to tell you to slow down. Once you are done, you can upload all this data to an online service that will let you track it, and presumably, share this data with friends." We're thrilled about this great honor on the heals of an award from CNET as well, not to … - My Top 12 Picks for CES 2013: From Speakers & Robots to Accessories & Backpacks
Thursday, January 24, 2013
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this month was once again a flurry of new products and as always, I felt as if I was constantly surrounded by pitches of TV flat screens, new speaker designs, casing, docking stations, chargers, dancing robots, iPhone accessories, surround sound substitutes, and more. What stood out was the increasing number of vendors participating in the Digital Health pavilion this year. Clearly, the marriage of technology and health is increasing at alarming speeds, with products and solutions aimed at helping consumers take charge of their health by collecting and analyzing their own personal data, something that wasn't available to us even ten years ago. It was no surprise that Fitbit won a Best of CES award, a product which tracks your fitness and has been on the market for awhile now. It's inevitable that the health and wellness category is primed to explode in the coming year. As for other categories? Sure, I'm a geek, but … - Edifer, Fab Mobile Options for GREAT Sound On-The-Go
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I discovered some great small "speaker" mobile options for travelers and mobile warriors at CES this year. Edifer offers a few options that are perfect for those on-the-go. Sound To Go PLUS is all about portability – they do an all-in-one micro speaker with re-chargeable Lithium battery. Encased in a brushed aluminum chassis, it features 2 channel stereo with 2 full range 1.25" drivers on each channel (magnetically shielded). It also features a built-in 'Class D' amplifier and a 3" x 1.25" oval passive radiator, which means someting to those in the audio world. An auxiliary input enables the use of multiple host devices such as smartphones and iPads. They tout their system as a self-contained portable mini-speaker system that delivers exceptional audio performance above and beyond in laptop or tablet speaker systems today. With smooth curves and a streamlined chassis, the fully portable MP15 by Edifier® is the perfect music companion for all locations … - HAPILABS Introduces HAPIfork, World’s First Smart Fork, at CES
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
CES kicked off this week with CES Unveiled, the official media event on January 6 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. HAPILABS, a company focused on well-being in every aspect, whether that is achieved through fitness, diet, your sleep or how you eat, showed off their new HAPIfork at the event. Their goal is to make it easy for people to take control of their HAPIness, health and fitness through applications and mobile connected devices. The world’s first connected fork that helps you lose weight by eating at the right time and at the right pace is also showing this new smart device at the Showstoppers media event on January 8 at the Las Vegas WYNN Hotel and all week at Digital Health at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The smart connected device, which has a crisp, elegant and clean design, was created by French engineer Jacques Lepine. The HAPIfork will be available in five colors when it hits the market this year: blue, green, white, black and pink. This smart fork knows how fast you’ … - Mobile Loco Brings the Best of Advertising, Geo-Location & Branding to the Mobile World
Sunday, December 16, 2012
Held last week in San Francisco, the MobileLoco event merged the best of geo-location, advertising, branding and the mobile world. Run by serial marketer Mark Evans, the event aspires to dive into the brand, advertiser and mobile convergence in the context of the Social, Local and Mobile (SoLoMo) marketplace. The discussions revolved around what this convergence means for big brands, consumers, SMBs and the mobile and location industry. On-stage, we heard from the likes of Andrew Mason of Groupon, Benchmark Capital's Bill Gurley, Banjo's Danien Patton and the Mobile Engineering Lead of Airbnb Andrew Vilcsak. Other voices included Bloomberg TV's Cory Johnson, Google's Don Dodge, Nextdoor's Nirav Tolia, Postmates Bastian Lehmann, Foursquare's Holger Luedorf, Micello's Ankit Agarwal and others. Above: Andrew Mason, CEO of Groupon Client inTooch partnered with MobileLoco so users could easily and seamlessly exchange contact and social network information … - inTooch Teamed Up With MobileLoco: Users Can Exchange Data On The Fly
Sunday, December 16, 2012
inTooch, a mobile application that supports both Android and iPhone, easily and seamlessly allows you to instantly exchange contact and social network information on the fly. inTooch teamed up with San Francisco-based Mobile-Loco this past week, an event that explores the convergence of brands, advertising and mobile. Attendees were encouraged to download the free mobile app, so they could quickly exchange all their contact information or a portion of it with new people they met at the event, including their social media network data. Whenever you meet someone you want to stay in touch with, you simply call the person, the app detects that you have called them for the first time and prompts you automatically to exchange your contact information, giving you the option to exchange your Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn details as well. Since geo-tagging is built in, the inTooch app tracks where connection requests are made and will link all connection requests to the location, in this case … - LeWeb's The Internet of Things: From Lightbulbs & Robots to Augmented Reality Apps & Air Quality
Friday, December 14, 2012
LeWeb Paris continues to grow year after year, with this year reaching over 3,500 attendees. From a couple of hundred attendees in the first year, they had 5,000 attendees this past year alone for both their London and Paris events, London being a test, something that they plan to continue doing in the years ahead. They attract big players like Orange, Microsoft and others and mid-tier players known in Europe and beyond, like Parrot, as well as tons of start-ups eager secure funding and entrepreneurs looking for the next big thing. It's also an incredible place to "schmooze" on the floor at the event itself as well as the umpteen after parties and events they hold in the evenings throughout the center of Paris. I returned to San Francisco from an exhausting trip of meetings and pow-wows to hear that LeWeb was acquired by Reed MIDEM, one of the leading events organizers in the world. How that changes the format of LeWeb moving forward is yet to be seen, but more budget an … - Mobile Loco on Dec 11 Explores Brand, Advertiser & Mobile Convergence
Monday, December 3, 2012
For all things mobile, mark your calendar for December 11, 2012 in San Francisco. The upcoming Mobile-Loco conference will be held at Mission Bay Conference and we have been offered a special Magic Sauce Media discount for Down the Avenue and We Blog the World readers. Mobile-Loco will dive into the brand, advertiser and mobile convergence in the context of the Social, Local and Mobile (SoLoMo) marketplace — exploring what this convergence means for big brands, consumers, SMBs and the mobile and location industry. Executives from Foursquare, Google, Airbnb, Groupon and other leading brands and investors will address these topics and discuss where the market is heading. Learn from brands how they are taking advantage of today’s new technologies and solutions to build durable brand engagement, relationships and presence in a chaotic and noisy marketplace. It's not news that if you're not on mobile or have an integrated mobile strategy, you'll be left behind quickly. Apps i … - VentureBeat's Annual CloudBeat Event Kicks Off This Week
Tuesday, November 27, 2012
VentureBeat's CloudBeat 2012 kicks off tomorrow in San Francisco for two days. While some cloud computing events focus on legacy technologies and incremental change, CloudBeat's focus is on real customer issues, highlighting stories about the most disruptive technologies out there. They'll be covering ten "never-seen" customer case studies. Enterprise IT leaders from Harvard University, PepsiCo, Dignity Health, Kaplan, and the Church of Latter Day Saints and others will discuss their cloud adoption strategies and the successes, failures, and takeaways surrounding them. Through their discussions with vendors and other experts, you'll discover what really works, who's buying what, and where the industry is going. The following themes will guide these talks: integration, big data, open vs. closed, security, and visibility. Additionally, 65 industry leaders will share their own insights, including executives like Stephen Herrod, CTO of VMware, Amit Singh, … - Thought Leaders, Technologists & Academics Re-Imagine Global Health
Monday, November 19, 2012
I'm a huge supporter of TEDx events given their goal to make the world a better place and because I know how much time and effort goes into each one since I'm a co-curator myself of the annual TEDxBerkeley event. Organizers need all the help they can get since the success is based on the work, effort and love from volunteers…in other words, everyone works around the clock without getting paid. TEDxSF (San Francisco) recently had their event in conjunction with UCSF, around health, a critical topic on everyone's mind in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Their theme was 7 Billion Well: Re-imagining Global Health." They brought together thought leaders and emerging pioneers in academia and technology to discuss the latest multidisciplinary ideas around the most pressing health issues of our world today. Christine Mason McCaull, Kunal Sood and their team did a smashing job with an incredible line-up of speakers, which included more women across the board than any o … - Science & Nonduality: Where Data & Consciousness Meet Puppets and Tea
Wednesday, November 7, 2012
After a few days filling my head for ten hours a day at the Singularity Summit, to then spend a few days filling my head with discussions on nonduality had a weird rewiring effect on my brain. This happens often however given I'm such a sponge for all things 'possible' and both groups believe that all things are possible. One believes that technology will make all possibilities happen and the other is a bridge to "it," but with spirituality leading the way. Sort of. Nonduality is the philosophical, spiritual, and scientific understanding of non-separation and fundamental intrinsic oneness. I recently had the opportunity to attend an event that integrates both worlds: the SAND Conference or its longer known name: Science & Nonduality Conference. It's tagline: The Nature of the Self of course. An annual event stateside and in Europe, it is held in San Rafael California in October and in the Netherlands in May. Nonduality is the main thread throughout how … - The Singularity Understood & Misunderstood
Monday, November 5, 2012
I've been attending Singularity events since they started having them, before people really knew what singularity meant. Frankly, most people still don't. Outside high powered technology circles and intellectuals, singularity isn't a topic that is discussed on dates or at the dinner table, even in Silicon Valley where technology and deals are sexier than toned women in miniskirts. According to Wikipedia, "the technological singularity is the theoretical emergence of greater-than-human superintelligence through technological means. Since the capabilities of such intelligence would be difficult for an unaided human mind to comprehend, the occurrence of a technological singularity is seen as an intellectual event horizon, beyond which events cannot be predicted or understood." Advocates talk about an "intelligence explosion", where superintelligences design successive generations of increasingly powerful minds, AND most importantly, that they won't … - Steven Pinker Speaks on Violence in San Francisco
Monday, November 5, 2012
Steven Pinker recently spoke at the Singularity Summit in San Francisco this past October. His topic amongst a large group of singularians, scientists, authors, thinkers, students and technologists? Violence. He took is on a journey of the decline of violence over time as a persistent development, showing methods that showed prehistoric violence versus the modern violence of today aka life before states and life after states. It's obvious that literacy matters for a decrease in violence since it brings reason into the conversation ruling out and winning over superstition, which is still alive in a lot of more primitive cultures today. See my latest write-up on singularity and the future of technology based on my most recent experience at the Singularity Summit. Below is a short video excerpt from his talk. Video and photo credit: Renee Blodgett. - Crowdfunding: A Conflict for VCs or a Path to Economic Recovery?
Saturday, November 3, 2012
I attended an event on crowdfunding recently. Entrepreneurs are dabbling in anything and everything "crowd" lately – from attracting vendor and engineering talent to volunteers and now, funding. I've had friends test out Kickstarter which is an interesting model if you don't need a lot of cash to jumpstart your project. It's easier to get low-level investors on board since the commitment on the part of the 'investor' is minimal (mostly zero) and there's a reward kick back. I've contributed as little as $5-50 to a Kickstarter project and did it because it was a cool idea and just wanted to help. You'd need a helluva lot of "me's" to make it worthwhile at that level but there are others who will invest $100, $1K or $10K into the pool depending in their interest and wallet size. Other reward based crowdfunding platforms include IndieGoGo and RocketHub, all of which are operating in the new paradigm without a lot of rules and … - SXSW's New Event V2V Aimed at Entrepreneurial Innovation
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
South by Southwest (SXSW) just announced a new event called SXSW V2V which will take place at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in Las Vegas next August 11-14, 2013. They'll have panel discussions, workshops, mentor and coaching sessions, pitch events, rapid-fire presentations, and networking opportunities. SXSW V2V is an extension and re-imagining of the legendary SXSW experience with an emphasis on the creative spark that drives entrepreneurial innovation. This event brings the startup and venture capital communities together with creative industries. They plan to cover the following markets: technology, music, film, fashion, health, education, sustainability, and others. The price to attend is $695 through December 14, 2012. - New England Venture Summit in Boston
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
If in the Boston/New England area in early December, an event entitled Where Innovation Meets Capital will take place at the Hilton in Dedham. Now in its 7th year, the Annual New England Venture Summit, held on December 5, is an opportunity for start-ups and small businesses to connect with early stage VCs. VCs and Experts confirmed to speak include: Zaid Ashai, General Partner, Point Judith Capital David Audibert, Managing Director, Investments, Connecticut Innovations Daniel Behr, Senior Vice President & Founder, Access Bridgegap Ventures Michael Bishop, Senior Associate, Black Coral Capital Nathaniel Brinn, Principal, Vital Financial Jason Caplain, General Partner, Southern Capitol Ventures Andrew Clapp, Managing Partner, Actaris Capital Partners Mark Peter Davis, Venture Partner, High Peaks Venture Partners Teodoro Forcht Dagi, Partner, HLM Venture Partners Brian Duncan, Venture Partner, Arboretum Ventures Steven Dupree, General Partner, Richmond Global Patrick Eggen, Senior In … - TEDxFillmore: From Politics, Democracy & Jazz to Hip Hop, Eastern Europe & Burning Man
Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Given that I'm the co-curator of a TEDx event (TEDxBerkeley), I try to support as many other TEDx Events as I can….by attending, tweeting, and when I have the time, writing about the experience. TEDxFillmore just had their event at Yoshi's along San Francisco's Fillmore Street this past week. Director, Producer & Writer Thomas Simpson (left), was the emcee and the theme was "Passing the Baton." While this may mean different things to different people, typically, batons are passed in relay races. The intention is to hand off the batons from one person to another while attempting to cross the line. The baton in the case of this TEDx theme is meant figuratively and can mean past to the future, old to young, young to old, teacher to student, student to teacher and so on… The event, curated by Chris and Moki Evans brought together six speakers to a stage set up on the main floor of Yoshi's Jazz Club, a renowned music venue designed by award winning arch … - Don't Die a Slow Death in a Mountain of Business Cards: Try inTooch!
Monday, October 8, 2012
I no longer get pumped up about cool new social apps or drink the Silicon Valley coolaid – there's just too much of it. When I learn about new products or services, these are my two go to questions: would I use this today and does this solve a real problem that I've had for awhile? When inTooch co-founder and CEO Julien Salanon gave me his pitch and suggested we work together, I was at first skeptical about their promise: to eliminate the business card problem. While it's too early to tell since there are so many variables in this business not to mention human behavior, as a fellow entrepreneur, I couldn't help but be intrigued by his idea. And besides, Julien has one of those personalities that is impossible not to like. He shared a story with me as we sipped tea at one of my favorite haunts in San Francisco's SOMA. Nearly ten years ago, he was at an important conference and forgot his business cards and a result, important connections were lost. Over the last …
