American Home Video: Video Stores. Many of the industry funds were wildly successful (in sectors such as media communications, health care, consumer, etc.), CIVC had a number of highly successful non-technology investments made in the late 1970’s timeframe, such as: LB Foster: Repurposed old train tracks.

So, please join us for Jared’s birthday (yup – it’ll be by video conference.). Over 8,000 individual donors have contributed along with organizations listed at the end of this post. It’s a tough time for everyone, but I’m especially proud to be a Coloradan right now as we work together to help each other.

My long time friend Terry Kawaja (history question – which Colorado-based company was Terry once CFO of) from Luma Partners sent me his latest parody video titled Use Bitcoin. If you want something serious from Terry, his 20 minute State in the State of Digital Media 2013 is definitely worth watching.

It also generated a few public ones, including the link to the article What is the problem with social media? Jordan asserts that the problem with social media can be broken down into four foundation problems. And I doubt I would have found it scanning my social media feeds. by Jordan Greenhall which was extraordinary.

It’s another of our investments that traces its roots to the MIT Media Lab. But it’s the first company we’ve invested in that did a promotional video for their product (the Synth Kit ) with Reggie Watts. We recently invested in littleBits. And yet another investment in New York. And yet another investment in New York.

One of them, Oblong , as been working on spacial computing since John Underkoffler’s early research in the 1990′s at the MIT Media Lab. The following video is John showing off and explaining the core G-Speak technology. The short five minute “overview video” follows.

It’s incredible to me that Congress would take seriously anything that censors the Internet and the American public but in the last few weeks PIPA and SOPA have burst forth with incredibly momentum, largely being underwritten by large media companies and their lobbyists.

We’ve done lots of video that’s up on the web, including the awesome Founders Series ( 2010 and 2009 ) that our friend Megan Sweeney did with us. TechStars Trailer 8/01 from Vortex Media on Vimeo. Several years ago we started getting approached to do a documentary, TV show, or reality series around TechStars.

This is a bidirectional experiment for us – we are helping Sympoz launch their new set of programs for startups and entrepreneurs while continuing to experiment with new forms of media around education on a topic we know well. My class, How To Light a Spark & Set Your Startup on Fire , is FREE for a limited time.

The following 90-second video gives you a little more context on this. One of these activities is a social media campaign to publicly recognize a number of individuals who their campus has identified as a #DepressionHero.

I’m always intrigued on how mainstream media presents new innovations like Sifteo in a five minute segment. In the mean time, enjoy the video, and our effort to help fund the entrepreneurs who are trying to change the way humans and computers interact with each other. Last week Bloomberg did a nice short piece on Sifteo.

Yesterday I talked briefly about taking a break from media. If you want the three minute version, just watch the video below. However, I wasn’t precise, as the one thing I read each week is the New York Times Sunday paper. When I wrote Startup Communities in 2012, I came up with a concept I call The Boulder Thesis.

Watch the following one minute video and ponder whether or not you were that kid (or have one of those kids.). Ironically, I have excellent hand-eye coordination which I think came from three things: (1) playing video games, (2) playing tennis, and (3) having crummy eyesight. Share the video above. I was totally that kid.

It’s almost entirely tech related, as I stay away from mainstream media during the week (e.g. It’s got a bonus video interview with me embedded in it.

My walk ended up being more of a “dodging people who weren’t paying attention” kind of drill which could be some bad video game that an AI is using our universe to play. I will not take or receive inappropriate photos/videos. I will not take a zillion pictures and videos.

And you’ll get off the phone, or video, feeling more homesick then when you got on. The connection will be through both space and time, using a media (postcard) that current generations rarely use any more. And – it’ll be from the past – talking abut something that happened a few days ago. It’s magic.
