Thank you all for the D.O.C.

Hello All,

I wanted to thank you all of comin' out for the Digital Odyssey Conference. It was great seeing you all again and thank you for allowing me to wax fantastic about Transmedia. It's interesting because two nights later I attended another talk in SF and while everyone there was 'in the know" they seemed to be more concerned with the technology than the story. And that's a big mistake.

Technology is ever changing...it is ever advancing. It is in essence built to… Continue

Hey Frank, Do You Know Any Investors?

How many times to do I hear that one? Happened again last week. It's really beginning to become a burr under my saddle. It's becoming a euphemism for "do you know any suckers who will give me a gift of money?".
