Random Friday Round Up
Here’s a really random Friday round up…Â
Podango is hiring. Check out my post on various positions here.
I’ve been spending a lot of time reading lately. I just finished Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Very interesting but the blatant liberal treehugger message got annoying after a while. I recommend “Confessions” if you are interested in learning how the US government, IMF and the World Bank control third world economies. I just started reading The Sorrows of Empire by former CIA agent Chalmers Johnson. So far it’s good. It reminds me of another classic I recently read - A Republic not an Empire by Pat Buchanan. You can see Chalmers in a great documentary I just picked up called Why We Fight. I thought it was a brilliant movie. Another great documentary to pick up is The Smartest Guys in the Room. Its about Enron’s amazing rise and fall. I thought I knew the Enron story until I saw this movie.Â
In the coming weeks Grow Utah Ventures will be launching their new publication called Launch. I have been asked to sit on the editorial board with some other great people. Stay tuned for the official announcement of the launch of this great publication.
I had lunch this week with my former Provo Labs partner in crime, Blake Snow. We had the idea of doing a very informal monthly lunch with all the Utah Valley entrepreneur types. Would you be interested in that? Its just a bunch of people getting together that like to talk about business and life in general. Call it an informal networking lunch. Thoughts?
Question: If you were offered a couple million dollars to start one business what would it be?
I came across Tesla Motors today. Holy cow these cars look awesome and they are all electric. Very cool! I want one.
It looks like Tag Jungle is live. I played around with it tonight and they still have a way to go but congrads to Phil and the rest of the 42co team for getting it up. Last I heard Tagjungle was dead? I guess rumors of its death were greatly exaggerated.
Finally, I download IE7 yesterday and I really like it. Its taken some getting use to but its a great product. Â
I’d like Utah County lunches, I’d try and go. We have a different set of issues here than other parts of Utah.

Since I struggle to even define what an entrepreneur is and wouldn’t currently call myself an entrepreneur then I guess anyone is welcome.
Left by Chris Knudsen on 12/08/2006I’d love to go to these lunches - put me on the list
