Yesterday Entrepreneurs Unplugged hosted Roy Dimoff, Chairman and CEO of Viawest.
Robert Reich and Jason Mendelson led a lively discussion in which Roy seemed to focus on his experiences in the service business and how companies should always and especially during economic down turns value and work with customers to make everyone's business a success.
Below are some of the pictures that I took during the event.

Complexity of Programming Modern Systems
Tonight I will pickup where I left off last time with a discussion on the complexity of programming modern system.
These systems are incredibly complex with many subtle layers of interaction that can dramatically impact the performance of the overall system. For example, one of the core algorithms that I developed for LineRate Systems improves on the previous state of the art by a full 10x. The trick was to pay attention to cross layer interactions and ensure that the hardware and software played nicely together.
To highlight the interactions I put together the following slide show which I think gives a better high level overview of the complexity than a simple static blog post could have. I will continue to expand on this theme in the next few posts.

Sometimes, the fun pictures are of the random "oops I pushed the trigger without aiming" kind :)

Redux: CU NVC Pitch Day
The first annual CU New Venture Challenge Pitch Day was an amazing success! We had ~30 groups pitch ideas ranging from a social entrepreneurship for cambodia to a automatic medication dispensing machine for type 2 diabetes to social networking ventures to a diverse audience containing members of CU and the boulder/denver entrepreneurship community.
Kudos to everyone who participated!
Here is a slide show of everyone who presented last night:
