Like many modern households, we’re managing a lot of moving pieces. Three kids w/ activities, brother & family living nearby, grandparent visits, travel — it adds up to some “complexity” We depend on a number of technologies to make it all work. I’m pretty technical and have been labeled a geek. Kellie’s very comfortable with technology, but would never get that accusation!

Guest post from my friend Scott Sigel see more posts from Scott. I wasn’t exactly a model student. There were a few occasions in high school and amidst my university days in DC when I might have evoked my inner Bueller and taken a day off. Although it’s certainly healthy to take the convertible for a spin now and again (“it is so choice”), for every class I missed I also forfeited the invaluable feedback of my professors and teachers.

There is a lot of buzz in Silicon Valley circles that Apple may be working on a actual physical television (as opposed to the set-top box product known as AppleTV). There have also been assertions by business analysts that such a product is coming. I have no confirmation of this from inside of Apple, but [.

I recently updated my alumni profile (or created one actually) at GW and have been thinking about the idea of alumni networking. I have been contacted a few times by entrepreneurs via my USV profile that shows this info which always leads to a semi-warm connection vs. a cold call – and I think this helps.
