Tech Star Brad Feld ends up In Boulder ER with blood clot: Jann Scotts Journal
Dec 13th
>Boulders Brad Feld the Tec Star multi millionaire is reporting on his blog, Feld Thoughts that he ended up in the Boulder emergency room last night with a blood clot in his leg.
Blood clots are very dangerous and often not caught. They can make their way to either the heart or the brain or clog a blood vessel someplace and cause catastrophic damage. They lead to strokes and heart attacks
They are often fatal. This is a near miss for Feld who is reportedly resting at home taking blood thinners.
Blood clots are very dangerous and often not caught. They can make their way to either the heart or the brain or clog a blood vessel someplace and cause catastrophic damage. They lead to strokes and heart attacks
They are often fatal. This is a near miss for Feld who is reportedly resting at home taking blood thinners.
Last year Feld wrote about depression and how he was dealing with it. Then this year he’s finally struck with a blood clot. 2 years ago Feld wrote a book with David Cohen called Do More Faster a manual for entrepreneurs on how to burn the candle at both ends. When I saw the title I shuttered and thought ” Oh my God this guy has no clue”
But the do more faster lifestyle philosophy is not exactly the Boulder way. it is more the New York City Way or The Wall Street Way. Feld who is known for working incredible amounts of hours, getting little sleep and running marathons is Boulders startup Guru. But one has to question this startup genius. Does he plan on publicly working himself to death at an early age? He is well on his way.
Boulder has had many gurus over the years who all seem to have the answer to life. There was Trungpa Rinpoche who dragged a lot of people down the road buddhism and alcoholism and aids through unprotected sex. A lot of people died following that guy.
Feld is leading people into workaholism. He and Tech Stars have a nationwide following. Unfortunately we are getting to watch him implode along the way. He should be used as a good bad example on how not to lead your work life. Maybe he’ll smarten up. After all Boulder is a place where people come to live an alternative lifestyle of peace, prosperity, health,wellness at a sane pace. I like Brad Feld and I’d like to see him live and not go the way of Janis, Jim, or Mama Cass.

Sony : Heads are going to roll Jann Scotts Journal
Dec 12th
As a guy who shoots his mouth off for a living and often writes inflammatory editorials, and have a reputation for that kind of stuff. Nobody takes me seriously for what I write or what I say on video. That’s always a mistake be cuz they play right into my jaws of death.
A lot of what I do is parody. Now does that get in the way? sometime. Being a CEO in addition to being a talk show host can be a tricky balancing act. It’s the price I pay for freedom of speech and performance.. it’s particularly interesting here in Boulder which prizes itself as a hip free city when in fact it is scaredy cat.
But what the Sony executives did was ,well, let’s just say heads are going to roll ,starting with the CEO. Why? Because. she put herself up as” I am CEO of Sony” untouchable… she is not a comic, a performer, culturalist editorialist, or a commentator. No she put herself up as an American businessman…… oooops; not anymore.
Nothing is private on the web.
Now what the North Koreans did by hacking into Sony is nothing short of Cyber war. On the other hand looking at it from this perspective what was Sony thinking when they made this movie? They knew North Korea was going to come after them. They had to know right? Oh no maybe they didn’t think about it. nobody thought that . North Korea is just like the crazy Muslim nations. you go ahead and make a crazy movie about Mohammad and find out what the world of Islam will do. blowing s*** up all over the United States..

Police profile neighborhood crime via computer analysis: Jann Scotts Journal
Dec 11th
American Police #profiling now use computer analysis to target neighborhoods, streets, and specific blocks. The database also predict the likelihood of crime based on specific days. Police all over the USA can now predict crime and up patrols on given days in given neighborhoods. They can even predict whom of you is more likely to commit a street crime this Saturday night. Don’t thinks so. ? Don’t be naive.
The Analysis also predicts who is more likely to commit crimes on that street: such as young black males from a specific street or building and what crime they will commit.
To say that Police don’t profile…..Hah!. oh we profile Alright, right to the member’s of your teenage gang.
But the analysis is based on numbers not color. If middle aged white guys did a lot of neighborhood street crime …. I would be bitching about being stopped by the police all the time .Well, if computer programs can pick winning baseball teams….you knew fighting crime was next . Well it is here today.
From The Police are nice here in Boulder….
( of course we don’t have any crime and everybody is rich and carries guns , but so much for the myth of thew gun hating liberal cities…. Hell, the last two home invades got shot or beat to death with a baseball bat… Holy shit !! yep.)
