My own personal Independence Day

Exactly one year ago today I started my first company, Ant’s Eye View. I’ve been part of several startups in the past and am now working with several, but the last year I’ve had the amazing opportunity to focus on something that is 100% mine. Working for myself (aka: the worst boss in the world) [...]

Tim’s thoughts on the LEGO community

My friend and fellow LEGO fan, Tim Courtney had a great write-up about his memories of the community team’s entrance into the fan community. It’s a unique perspective from “the other side”.

Right about the time some people were stocking up for Y2K, Brad Justus announced LEGO Direct, the new direct-to-consumer division [...]


“Customers”: Is it the right word?

In the 2 years since I left LEGO, I’ve had to retrain myself to referring to people who buy stuff from companies as “consumers”. LEGO, like many manufacturing companies, has both customers (Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R’ Us, etc.) and consumers (mom, 7 year old boys, Jake). It all makes sense, but removed from that environment, [...]

Run by my friend and client, Bill Johnston from ForumOne, last year’s event was a fantastic time. By far one of the best events I attended last year. (Check out the absolutely stunning group of community rock [...]

Communispace: Imitation community and the future of this space

Did you know that a ripe banana has more than 150 taste components? And beyond that, “taste” is influenced by the visual appearance, the aroma, and even source of purchase. It’s no wonder that when scientist head to the lab to recreate “banana”, what they develop is something far different than a fresh, ripe tasty [...]
