Just outside the Earth Sciences building at Stanford yesterday. An autonomous rover experiment rolling about (from the Aerospace Robotics Lab).

I was on my way to give a talk on disruptive innovation and entrepreneurship for the ETL series — the full video is now online.

  5. Refreshing talk .. no need for excel or accounting in VC land .. sounds like a lot of fun. Disruptive innovations .. I wish there were some to help with our morass of an economic /political system 😉

  6. Thanks for the link to the podcast. Very interesting.

  7. My first thought when I saw this image: Google street view is getting WAY too intrusive…

  8. What if it had a goal to… annoy people? Then it might become highly successful.

  9. Where are your photos of LCROSS impacting? Weren’t you there?

  10. As is his wont, Steve was standing waaay too close – on the crater rim in fact, when the Centaur booster and LCROSS impacted, but it was just too dark for his picts to come out, so he didn’t post them.

    🙂

  11. =) I sent an Imperial Probe Droid, but it was buffeted about…

    thanks y’all. WSJ did a little posting on the talk
