Yes, so, while we’re at having a very dry spell in terms of posted content (I’m sorry, I’m busy) here’s a brief videoclip of me from the Sun Microsystems Video thing. If you go vote for it, Alight Learning can win a flip video camera *update* right- so the way to vote is: “startup [the [...]

Photos will be uploaded after the event! 12:40 The “MORGANIZER” team is going- explaining to me why I need a hanging ceiling rack ot organize my possessions at my desk. I actually really want one. This is somewhat sad. Hmm. 12:41 Pople in the back of the room arguing about who goes. 12:42 Kim takes [...]

I’ve been a bit slower on updating than I generally would like, but everything has been a bit overwhelming of late. I just did upload a brief essay that I wrote for my management class to the essays portion of the site (http://www.ellenchisa.com/essays.html). In the next week I should have a bunch to talk about, [...]

Although I really do love reading other papers and seeing what else has been done before- I feel like there MUST be a better system for organizing this. First off- Why do everyday citizens need to [...]

As you can read on Melissa Hui’s blog we’re looking at establishing a Tech Conference in Metro Detroit. Melissa, another one of her friends (whose name I am blanking on), and I met over Sushi last night to get started on the planning process.  However- we’d still love to have any input about what people [...]

Awesome things to do on one of the first nice days: open the windows, play loud music, and clean everything you own. I did a massive overhaul of my room- threw away clothes, shoes, and miscellaneous junk/papers. I even threw some breakable stuff out the window (satisfying smashing sounds ensued) and burned some things. At [...]

Having a start up with five of you best friends isn’t just about having a startup.  They’re still five of your best friends. We were all down in North Carolina, and it was Evan’s 21st birthday.  We all got together for some crazy adventures- first we had a photoshoot in the lobby of the hotel [...]
