Millie’s Christmas Sweater

Got on one of Millie’s Christmas sweaters today!  Her name comes up
often at Ruhamah – she is missed!

Its nice Mom is remembered so well, Mom had asked to have her clothes
donated to Ruhamah she liked working at the spring and fall yard sales.
any way thought you would like to hear it.

In this time of Christmas and the Holidays, this should do the trick to get your hearts and minds in the spirit of Christmas and the time of giving.

Entrepreneurs increase

Entrepreneurs are increasing due to the economy, and with the substantial number of independent new Entrepreneurs, how are you going to provide Quality Control to the process of independents working over the Internet across the Globe, as in our Indian Software Development companies offshoring our intellectual property? A unit of measurement? A cubit?

Entrepreneur Incubators need Sales, no matter how well they are doing, they need to sell, even to raise funds to further their effort, and if they have product ready to ship, or distribute via eBay, or directly over the Internet.

The current APP Store, arena has many trying to duplicate Apple’s lead.

Education is needed to assist the new Entrepreneur operating directly or perhaps from one of the nations Business Incubators, that we call a Entrepreneur Incubator.

eLearning needs some standardization to begin to achieve some level of seamless architecture between different courseware developers, the Digital Libraries should be accessible via some standard UI. The resultant content would then need some architecture agreement between developers and the PC industry in order to provide a consistent Human Interface between APPS, as is regulated via the APPLE iOS Frameworks.

And then we need to establish a ISO 9000 for independent Entrepreneurs working as a Team over the Internet, for Quality Control of the Entrepreneurial Process…

I had lunch with the founder of a early success in the Software industry yesterday, he is doing fine, and he talked about the new Patent law which awards the First to Ship…

Interesting, because I have always supported an improvement in the present Patent system especially the methodology to insure the original works creators are protected… And had done a small ExpertWitness research for transactions over the Internet…

When Intel offered to invest in DiagSoft, I knew I needed skills that I did not have, so typical of Silicon Valley, I contacted people I knew, my old Bosses at Microform Data Systems to become DiagSoft Board of Director Advisors, they were concerned about legal protection for Board Members and we could not afford coverage, so they became Board Advisors, often meeting with me offsite or offhours… When the time came to repurchase DiagSoft’s stock from Intel, I went to IBM and DEC and requested an advance of royalties, to be recouped at 50% per period, to not drown out our cash flow, and settled with Intel and repurchased our stock. I owned 100% of DiagSoft, Inc. at the time of sale to Sykes, Inc.

Both Intel and Sykes, Inc. did extensive due diligence prior to investment and merger. This included Work For Hire Agreements, Clear Copyrights and history of QAPlus and all versions. Escrow of Source Code (periodically), Copyrights, Trademarks, etc. or they would not invest, or acquire… Debt to Equity Covenants, etc.

IBM requested Source Code Escrow, and clear proof of title in order to OEM QAPlus.

Some of the learning experiences that relate to my EDU Plan are directly related to these individuals who did not receive anything other than a per Board Meeting fee. John Dorchak of Electromec-Manpower era, and Intel, was my old boss, and confidant, and go between with the Intel SR. VP Level, and even Gordon Moore, behind the scenes… He had me meet with a very Sr. Level Intel Exec and instantly everything that was political, stopped. It was a remarkable neat meeting.

Board Members can be a difficult relationship for all involved, due to Return on Investment issues unique to each member…

The EDU Plan considers these complexities and has included a Zero Gravity Legal Services ability to assist remote Entrepreneurs…

Entrepreneurs need solutions to market… EDU Plan.

Does the new Patent Law help me as the creator and First Customer Ship of QAPlus, QAPlus/FE, and ETSC for Electronic Technical Support over the Internet…?

The EDU Plan is based on the installation (nationwide) of wideband Internet connection.

This is a LeapFrog idea.

The simplest, quickest, cheapest, bestest, solution to enable the unemployed worker.

With a wideband Internet, i.e. Gigabyte not Gigabit… increase in Internet connection speed.

Unbelievable new APPS will appear, it will reinvigorate our most promising revenue producers, our software industry, working in collaboration via wideband to the home.

Fiber to the home or equivalent WiFi for Rural areas.

Enable the unemployed, they are sitting on their couches… at home.

Over 10 years ago, Jamie Carney, of Maui and Kauai, did a 3D Studio Max rendering of our imaginary TalkStory Island, a virtual place on the Internet… www.jamiecarney.com

Today with streaming HDTV capability, we should use the real one…

When we lived and worked at the Maui Research and Technology Center in Kihei, Maui 2 years before that time, Jamie and several other locals, were hired by BigKahuna Productions in Maui, and taught how to do 3D Animation… They were all local artists… Only one had extensive computer experience…

A Entrepreneur Incubator can, and has, hired and trained 3D Animators, without any real previous computer experience…

3D wireframe to 3D Printer is now common…

Come visit Hawaii…

Aloha Time…

Have you been to Hawaii lately?

Well its a good time to visit.

Relax, let the natural smell of Hawaii remind you of the beauty of nature and man…

I was thinking how could we employ all of these unemployed people?

the solution would require little investment and have the highest return of re employment.

Re education is needed because some of these people have not done anything else.

the solution is to provide the tools for people to solve their own problems and become more integrated in the economy at higher income levels which would solve the issue of todays America and the world.

Bring the tools to the living room.

Get the Business Incubators to produce new ideas and products.

Get the community involved in the Entrepreneur Incubator.

Get the kids into another adventure that does not include first person shooter ideology.

Open Source will evolve into eLearning and Courseware development, set the ISO standards and get to work.

The most valuable resource of individual output of American genius is our Software Developers. They are being displaced by large low cost alternatives, yet they are the core of our Technology future… last time I looked we didn’t have enough developers, now they need to evolve into 3D Animators, they have the concepts and are the fastest path to creation of the formats and standards needed, too many cooks in the standards department will slow the cooking process. Open Source development changes the Patent process…

Wideband Internet is getting closer, check out my friends at: CityLink telecommunications

As we are aware, the Internet capability is increasing at a rapid pace due to the evolution of the technology available, and once that position is achieved, the next release is ready. The Subject of eLearning has been paramount in the entries in this BLOG. How to do that?

Create a Entrepreneur Incubator Plan that includes eLearning as the core area of interest.

Define a Advanced Digital Library using the Internet as the Bookshelf.

Define a Internet work environment necessary to achieve the goals and objectives of the DomusRoom Concept.

Then wait until the TECH arrives…

What are we waiting for?

each other…

The TECH is already here, only the speed increase of the Internet is needed, the bigger the pipe, the faster we grow…

Digital Living Room advances…

The “Digital Living Room” is making advances due to the Apple iTunes Store and Apple’s MobileMe Digital Library. With GoogleTV, Microsoft, and others pressing into this arena with new advanced Media Servers and Home Theater PC’s.

MobileMe will be a real growth opportunity for Apple, based on our experience with MobileMe since it first arrived over three years ago, we have found that MobileMe is a excellent Digital Library, but needs extensions to add to its value. MobileMe could be sold via OEM’s..

Their is real potential in Apple’s MobileMe Cloud.

There is an excellent article in AppleInsider on “Digital Living Rooms” today.

Applications for this competitive market opportunity must be near…

Tea Party…

The first time I heard about the Tea Party, I thought good, it is time to let Washington know that both Republicans and Democrats need to pay attention because there is going to be a quiz. Then I saw on the news some folks standing on a street corner holding Lipton Tea bags? Wow! That power of holding a tea bag will make Washington change.

Now it is several months later and we have some real interesting people running under the Tea Bag Party, and some of these folks have been tested by the media to such an extent, that they should have dropped out by now, but no. They just might win.

The American Democracy is working just fine. And now all sides need to win. Can’t wait. Freedom is ringing across America and that energy will touch the World.

Freedom is one of the greatest possessions one can own. Because then you can go out and sell what you make or grow, and all of us are one.

Many years ago a friend and customer from Hong Kong met me in Toronto for a business meeting. I asked “what about the changeover of Hong Kong back to China”,

Fred said: “No problem, all uncles”. Life is like that.

How to do that?

Build a Business Incubator Plan that includes eLearning as the core area of interest. Define a Advanced Digital Library using the Internet as the Bookshelf.

Here is the simple but elegant Google Liquid Galaxy Interface for Google Earth, the solution for the Front End of the DomusRoom.

GHK AiLibrary Digital Living…

The GHK AiLibrary(tm) was constructed by enlarging the office at the end of the house into a 820sqft. cherrywood Digital Home Theater. The ultimate goal was to create a Mac OSX based AiHome(tm)with my AiLibrary(tm) a Digital Library that integrated the traditional Home Theater into a new Internet connected Digital Home Theater, it was 1998. I founded Artificial, Inc. to do the websites and 3D QTVR clickable interface. Later, after my Divorce in 2003, I founded AiLibrary, Inc.

I recommend that you spend time browsing the content and information contained on the internet to improve your knowledge and understanding as well as to enrich your value to others.

The following video is of my old GHK Digital Living Room from 1999, create your own environment to learn and share and party with others like this one that could be built in a two car garage and the Craftmaid cabinets came from Home Depot. The ceiling was done by a real carpenter from Maine, and the refinish was done by a local popular painter in Marco. I really wanted a old english room, but when you closed the hurricane electric shutters, and the lights came up at a low level, it was jolly old England, pub and all…

Over the past ten years I have researched, developed, and replaced my concept of a AiHome(tm) and the AiLibrary(tm).

Today, ten years later I found this important Original Work by SRI on Distance Learning circa 1995. The video is important because it shows how important Software Patents are and the misapplication of them to Process Patents, etc. will prove that one can argue that everything has already been invented… Yet the ISO 9000 goals are to continually improve the Quality Process and hence the need for Application evolution that the current Software Patent system is inhibiting. A new method of Software Intellectual Property Rights is needed to allow the growth of Applications in the future.

Possible solutions to Software Patent system is to reorg it, not replace it.

A possible reorg would include adding the details (TBD) that allow a Judge to make a decision for Original Work History in visual timeframe increments, the Software Patent has a hugh history and backlog to consider. Then perhaps use the STRINGS (i.e. evolution, new works done in a cleanroom environment, ie. no knowledge or access of a previous Patented work, and the new products evolution may have moved to a new Platform and OS in perhaps a decade increment, in order to decide core intent of infringement a clearer and more concise overview is needed. This will speed up the process. Start with the nearest issues.

The future of Intellectual Property Rights, Patents, Copyrights, and Trademarks will undoubtably require a lower level of research, which will require more ExpertWitness resources and generate opportunities especially in consideration of software patents.

With today’s software architecture comprised with Vendor SDK’s, Frameworks, Open Source, etc. The actual code written for an iPhone App is a good example for further review.

And Who is the Original Works owner?

Will probably have some validity for future Intellectual Property Rights.
