You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

me ---> 'Gaarr of Blog' <---

To say: '"He is a man of truth," is to say nothing; to say: "He is a man of of," is to state an elementary truth of logic.'

History, Science, Nerd Stuff, BEC
What is most important in an economic sense.  The greatest scientific fact proven was the discovery of Bose Einstein Condensates (BECs) in 1995 and receiving the Nobel prize in 2001. This combined with future proofs in information theory; how ideas are realized and conversely how realization pushes awareness, where sensation builds sensitivity and sensitivity builds new realizations &#8230; eventually new things, new facts, new proofs.
Look what the invention of the laser did about 40 years ago&#8230; and it continues with the Dazer Lazer of LNGT, a small company which makes a non-lethal weapon to make people nauseous from upto a mile away.

Before the winners could be selected from the vast number of entries, the Wharton judges first had to define what innovation means in an age dominated by digital technology, medical advancements and mobile communications. The judges included Ian MacMillan, director of the Sol C. Snider Entrepreneurial Research Center; Thomas Colligan, vice dean, Wharton Executive Education; Kevin Werbach, professor of legal studies and business ethics; Karl Ulrich, chair, operations and information management department; Franklin Allen, co-director of the Wharton Financial Institutions Center; George Day, co-director of the Mack Center for Technological Innovation; Lori Rosenkopf, professor of management; and Mukul Pandya, editor-in-chief of Knowledge@Wharton.
