3-D will be common place

by Jason on January 4, 2010

in Uncategorized

avatar_movieI am not a big movie buff, but when a friend invited me to go see “Avatar 3-D” with him last week, I decided to brave the holiday crowd and see if the film could live up to the hype. To my surprise, it did! A big factor that spurred me to see it was the 3-D element. As the technology continues to improve, it will be commonplace to see objects projected in their true depth perceptions. Ideally we will get to a point where you don’t have to wear the silly glasses. As video recorders add the capability of 3-D recording, we will have a surge of footage on youtube.com and other video sites. Websites will have 3-D enabled viewing. So instead of looking at conventional 2-D rotations of the latest gadget, you will be able to see all the angles in 3-D. Even the last Super Bowl had 3-D commercials (SOBE Lizard Commericial). I am excited for what lies ahead. If you haven’t seen “Avatar,” I highly recommend it. Just make sure to watch it in 3-D for Jason’s sake.

Bowling Is Like A Start-up.

December 7, 2009 Business

Bowling is like a start-up. Your team’s lane versus the other ten lanes going for the gold, the highest score. In every lane there is a leader. The leader either showboats and brings down the morale of his team, or the leader rallies the team and teaches them the secret of bowling. I was bowling [...]

November 24, 2009 Uncategorized

Just as soon as you’ve adapted yourself to all the exciting nuances and features that your phone offers—web browsing, email, video, GPS—the manufacturers go and change the whole phone. Their claim is that they’ve made it better, easier, and faster. And often, this is exactly the case. In fact, pushing the limits of what a [...]

Texas BBQ in LA, Anyone?

November 16, 2009 Food

Over the weekend I went to Dr. Hogly Wogly’s Tyler Texas BBQ—which, fortunately for us Angelenos, isn’t in Texas at all, but is just a hop, jump, and a skip away in the city of Van Nuys. I opted not to take a photo of the beef ribs I ordered, or else my phone [...]

Work out so you don’t burn out!

November 12, 2009 Business

So I’ve seen myself get into this trap again and again-as I am in the early stage of building a company-where I forget to take care of myself. What, with the 15 hour days and crazy schedule, I simply forget to go to the gym. And I’m not alone. Entrepreneurs will ignore their gym sneakers [...]

On my last trip to Massachusetts I had an opportunity to sit down with the co-founder of Wistia.com, Chris Savage. We went to Crema Cafe, his favorite coffee shop in Harvard Square, and just talked about analytics as a whole. His company has a powerful, yet simple, platform for Video Analytics. So what does that [...]

The Secret to Combating Traffic in LA: Audiobooks

November 5, 2009 Business

I hate traffic! I get so frustrated in LA traffic. I spend at least a total of 80 minutes a day in bumper to bumper, white knuckled, stress inducing traffic. In Boston I could drive from my apartment in Cambridge to my office in Lexington in under 21 minutes. Back in LA, I looked forward [...]

JetBlue, I am cheating on you with Virgin America. There, I said it.

October 23, 2009 Uncategorized

We have been in a relationship for seven years now. In the last few months, however, you’ve changed. You started running late–sometimes even forgetting about our dates altogether. Don’t even say you’re sorry anymore. Next, you said your grumpy attitude was just a stage of growth. Well, you’ve “grown” into one of the [...]
