Since I teach my class on Tuesday nights - I’ve been unnable to catch the new episodes of “Lost”. So I’m forced to go to ‘Hulu’ and go on-demand.
But what a pleasure!
Given “Lost’s” time travel motif, I can’t help but comment on and create a blog post on how coolio it is to be able to randomly jump throughout the five season mythology of “Lost”, pause, rewind, watch again - study - and then loop through the Lost storyline - again - but this time via episode #22 - instead of episode #4.
The other bonuses to watching “Lost” on Hulu are the web exclusive clips and an ‘enhanced’ set of episodes which actually explain what the hell is going on!
Collectively - watching “Lost” on-demand goes way beyond just watching TV. It’s navigating through a labyrinth of storyline mythology and time travel.
Highly recommended!

I’m going to pursue the answers. I’m not gonna sit still and accept the status quo.
Kismet has brought me here and I’m letting fate guide me.
My current class has us building the user experiences for the Case Connection Zone. Stay tuned on that one. It’s installing 1,000 megabit connections into 104 homes and apartments on Hessler St. - directly adjacent to the CWRU campus.
Jim Cossler is the driving force the YBI and he’s almost single handedly forcing companies to move to Youngstwon. Jim’s fervor and passion is what ignites the YBI and makes Youngstown what it is today.
What’s funny about these two articles running in the same issue, is that the other article defending Brad Whitehead and the FFEF - is the claim that the agencies funded by the FEFF have made $1B of impact on our local economy.
Now I’m not some high falooted economist, but I’d sure like to know WHERE that impast is being felt! Perhaps Brad Whitehead’s $353,000 salary getting spent on his Mercedes lease or his kid’s private school is what the Plain Dealer is referring to - but I sure as hell don’t see that impact!
Take an organization such as JumpStart - the Cleveland equivalent to Cossler’s YBI. JumpStart has spent over $40M in the past five years and funded a little over $14M in investments to startups in the area. Yet I don’t know of one “hit” - such as the YBI’s ‘Turning Technologies’ investment.
YBI runs itself on a shoestring budget (under $1M) and still gets it together to renovate buildings and house startups - for free!
Perhaps if some of JumpStarts investments actually paid off and generated jobs - this whole ‘funding’ issue would disappear - but the honest fact is, that despite protestations and insider complaints, it was a really SMART move by the Cleveland Foundation to pull their support of the FEFF!
The BioEnterprise folks seem to be doing a pretty good job, but can you tell me what NorTech, Team NEO and Magnet do? this whole FEFF thing looks like a boondoggle to me! How can they claim to have any positive impact at all? Have their gone outside and looked around lately?
These non-profit folks are riding a gravy train of overhead, sucking up over 50% of their funding to pay themselves. Apparently this is standard operating procedures here in NEO, but that seems a bit greedy and inefficient if you ask me.
No where in the Plain Dealer article is this honest fact brought up! Rather the article focuses on the story told by David Abbot (of the Gund Foundation) and the other supporters of Brad Whitehead. Of course they’re going to support the FEFF, it’s THEIR money as well that’s getting squandered! They don’t want to look bad!
IMHO

Perhaps they should just NOT buy an IPad and use a iTampon.
Or maybe if Apple had bought us - we’d be in worse shape - then ever! The idea that Apple is fighting off the Flash dominance - and fundamentally helping Microsoft and Google - is just so humorous to me!
Speaking of Facebook - I must say that I am VERY jazzed about this upcoming movie. I have played out a movie script several times (in my head) over my own life’s experiences and it looks like this movie is gonna rip it to shreds! Right on - on outting this whole dam process! Being here in Cleveland has only magnified how absurd Silicon Valley is!
Its great to see Bill partying. Think of all those years where Bill could have been up in the suite with us - getting geslig - while all those suits were downstairs - acting straight. It’s high time Bill “let his hair down!” You only live ONCE!
GO FOR IT - PHIL!

Happy birthday to my best friend here in Cleveland -

Good cause.
