Thomas Goetz – Health Informatics Visualizations
I’ve been working on a health visualization application for a Practice Fusion-sponsored developer competition as a side project, at first as an easy way to learn JQuery and build something cool, but it has turned into something much more valuable. It has really allowed me to see how much can be done with leveraging all the open data out there. With some clever front end engineering to visualize health data and action steps to really take charge of your health, we can really revolutionize personal health through technology. Smart phones...

The Most Important Marketing Metric for B2B Startups
In one word, it’s REVENUE. How are your marketing dollars being turned into real world revenue and profit. This is why I think it is so important to have a “Growth Hacker” on your team. I think I’m borrowing this term from Sean Ellis.. in fact I know I am. In the growth phase of a startup, its essential that you have a person on your marketing team that is wiling to get his hands dirty, test ideas, fail and iterate.

Be Mindful. Bitches
Im not a Buddhist. I just look and act like one. “Buddhism does not accept a theory of God, or a creator. According to Buddhism, one’s own actions are the creator, ultimately.

Sometimes it seems that there is quite a distance between a way of thinking based on faith and one entirely based on experiment, remaining skeptical. Unless you find something through investigation, you do... Read The Rest →
New Way To Think About Machine Learning
Jeff Hawkins is an entrepreneur that I really admire. He started out as an electrical engineer and built a number of portable handheld device companies including Palm.. you might have heard of it. He even built one of the first tablet computers. From there he founded an organization on Theoretical Neuroscience. Jeff Hawkins presents the new HTM Cortical Learning algorithms at the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The talk is technical in nature and complements the written document “Hierarchical Temporal Memory including HTM Cortical Learning Algorithms”. Watch his... Read The Rest →
