Ideas are flowing.
Cash is staying ahead of credit bills. Student loans have enjoyed low interest rates since I finished school. The job is secure, though not very exciting.
Considering a table purchase. June 3/4 http://socialmediacamp.ca/sponsors/sponsorship/
I’ve been hanging out with some really cool game designers. Maybe we’ll split on the table and then we can have some demos next to my slide show prototype.
Working on a 30 second prezi.
Wanting to buy 25 or so domains for A-Z testing. 
Q = http://www.questioncollector.com Getting a quote from my local host. Who I am going to talk to about design for a logo, maybe with webpage.
Planning contest. Part-time web developers coding contest. Win my personal trove of board games and a share of the action. Flash? Java? Django? Other? I don’t care we just a need team of two to win and work with us for the summer. Sticking with our core values: freedom, fun, and peace. You must be willing and able to party, hear Imagine and actually Imagine what he describes, believe in freedom, even before you believe in democracy. If you want to be a customer, that would be a great start.
Politics is long overdue for an upgrade. Are you ready for borderless debate? Mob fights with no weapons, but words? Gladiators go to battle, the Emperors decide their fate? Emotional ranking and filtration. The game begins.

Did I answer the questions? What else should I consider? I would love your harshest criticisms and any encouraging comments you can spare. Thanks for reading!!!

It has been a long two weeks. Here is a summary of what has been happening for me:
1) I got my first business card printed. My moms think it’s super, except the text is a bit tiny for their eyes.
2) I joined a Single Founders Mastermind community started by Taweed at his community site, Braintrust.io. It’s been helpful to have somewhere to share thoughts that is more focused than my blog. In fact it’s helping me revamp my blog to be more focused too, or at least I hope so. (more…)

I would appreciate any feedback on this presentation. Is it clear? What do you like? What do you dislike? What do you think is missing? What am I doing wrong? Yes I am doing lots wrong, but need your help identifying my additional weaknesses. Do you think this could work? Would you want to play?
Thanks for reading!

Over the last two days I attended two seminars at the local technology park. One was on product positioning and marketing and the other was on intellectual property and business structure. Both were useful and it was good to get out and meet some local entrepreneurs. Thanks to Gowlings and VIATec for hosting!
Here is our current positioning statement:
The QuestionCollector is a sociopolitical game of debate, for Internet users who want to create peace with words instead of weapons. It provides a fun and neutral architecture for questioning everything. Unlike current social games the QuestionCollector is fun AND useful to your world.
Read on for the draft text of my media pitch and let me know what you think of it or my positioning statement.

The following are a few questions I would expect a prospective adviser would want to know the answers to. If you have additional questions, please send me a note or leave a comment.
What is GAIA?
GAIA is an acronym for the name of my company: Golden Age Information Architects. It is my personal brand. I have a logo in the works and our first product, brand pending, is in design dock. It is waiting for me to recruit the correct group of assistance. Then I will begin full scale development. I’ve begun to publicize my vision and am currently enjoying the hard work of drafting my business model, estimating initial costs, and learning how to write succinctly. I should probably get someone to do more of this stuff for me. Then I could spend more time building my designs. I can not wait to sit down with my first team of developers, in our first office.

This is an updated version of a speech I gave on Dec 2, 2009 at Victoria Beaver Toastmasters. The scene is a cocktail party. I’ve started talking with a group of people and then the inevitable question comes up:
“So what do you do Scott?”
I’m an entrepreneur.
“Oh really, well what are you working on?”
It’s an advanced online forum for citizens to engage in political debate and network worldwide. Think of it as a personal soapbox, but with a focus on empowering people.

1) I got an interesting email response today from the CEO of Answers.com in response to a question I sent to their website weeks ago. I was impressed that my impetuous email actually landed on his screen, let alone that he responded. I remember sending messages direct to the CEO at CGI, where I was working, and getting no response. I want to say thanks to Bob for taking the time to get back to me and I hope I can be as attentive to my future customers, employees, and investors as he demonstrated today.
