Week End Round Up

Posted by Chris Knudsen on November 10th, 2006

What a great week.

I met Phillip Chipping of Shieldzone on Monday. If you are tired of your portable devices getting all scratched up head over to shieldzone and buy their clear cover protection system. Its really cool! Phillip has an amazing entrepreneurial story and I look forward to seeing huge things come out of this company.

Judd Bagley and I met again this week to discuss some future plans. I guess its probably ok to announce here that in the coming weeks we’ll be launching our own podcast on Podango and Rocky Mountain Voices. Thanks, Cydni for lunch and for your support! 

I blogged about Funding Universe teaching my class on Monday night. Again, if you are looking to raise capital you need to check out Funding Universe.

I had lunch with Connect Magazine on Wednesday. Next year, I’ll be writing for Connect and the new Launch publication by Grow Utah Ventures coming out next month. I’m really looking forward to this!

Speaking of Connect, one of their writers called me to get my thoughts on incubators for a story he’s working on. Let me summarize here: Grow Utah Ventures does it right.  

The Republicans had their butts handed to them on a silver platter this week. 10 years ago I would have been on the verge of suicide but since the Republican party has abandoned their once conservative principles, I probably couldn’t care less. About two years ago I officially left the party and now walk the earth as a political cynic. Don’t take that as an endorsement of the Democratic win. I’ll vote for a Democrat when h*** freezes over. See more commentary here. 

When you need a little humor in your life head over to Fark for great stories and comic relief. Here’s a couple of sample headlines from this week’s Fark:

Drunk woman discovers her golf cart is unable to outrun a squad car.  One of my high school buddies, Rob Kelleher, found this out the hard way when we were 17 years old. After a long night of riding around the neighborhood drunk in his dads golf cart the police (with the help of a helicopter and K-9 unit) finally cornered him on the 18th hole at the Tualatin Country Club. He was arrested and charged with a DUI.

Britain is wide open to alien invasion according to the former Ministry of Defense UFO X-Files guy.     

Frat boys are suing Borat after claiming he destroyed their reputations. Unlikely. A lot of people hate that Borat guy but I think he’s hilarious!

Have a great weekend!
