I was cruising around the Internet after the festivities this evening (congrats Peyton and the Colts), checked my RSS feeds and saw a posting from my friend, Greg Verdino about a video he uncovered. The online video was created by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University and it shows how the Internet has changed over the years and how “Web 2.0″ is helping change culture. This is a must watch video for anyone who is interested in Digital Media, Ethnography, or the technology. Enjoy it!

Because Wordpress can’t embed video files (at least mine can’t), you can click this link to view the video on GooTube. It’s roughly 5 minutes. All I have to say is, “wow.”

I was reading Guy Kawasaki’s blog when I came across a recent video from the Art of the Start Conference, a conference hosted by Garage Technology Ventures. The video shows 4 different VC’s talking about all different topics including valuation, founders roles, the business plan, and other useful information. If you’re an entrepreneur or at an early stage company and or thinking about getting your idea off a napkin and executed, take a peak at the video.

Panelists include:
Daniel Ahn, Managing Director - Woodside Fund
Susan Mason, General Partner - Onset Ventures
Chris Moran, General Manager - Applied Ventures
Warren Packard, Managing Director - Draper Fisher Jurvetson
Ian Sobieski, Founder and Managing Director - Band of Angels Fund

Check out the video here.

With the recent release of Borat, I couldn’t resist posting this blog.
