		<description><![CDATA[As an entrepreneur, you do it all, you work long hours, you sweat the details.  Clients come first.  Also investors, employees, family.  There&#8217;s no &#8220;me&#8221; in &#8220;entrepreneur.&#8221;
That means professional development often takes a sideline to business development. Investing in skills seems selfish - a waste of resources better spent building the business. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has been an invaluable asset to Google in its effort to brand itself, &#8220;as Air.&#8221;  There&#8217;s no doubt who the &#8220;Don&#8217;t Be Evil&#8221; mantra refers to.  And it doesn&#8217;t hurt that Steve Ballmer looks a little like Dick Cheney.
In contrast, Google wants to be Air.  Who doesn&#8217;t like Air?  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Clayton Stobbs, the facilitator of SWA2, invited me to join him in my old stomping ground of Research Triangle Park, NC for the next Startup Weekend event, July 11-13.
Clay liked the new format beta-tested by SWA2 poobah, Laura &#8220;mitten&#8221; Fisher: 97 participants pitched 34 ideas, formed 13 Teams and started 11 new companies. (Previous SW&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ed concocted a startup cafe crawl:

Get up early and hit Zola&#8217;s for funding - that&#8217;s where the VC&#8217;s and angels eat breakfast.
Head to SweetWaters to network for your BizDev talent.
Thence to Primo to recruit developers.
Lunch at Vinology, home to the marketing-types.

What, no beer?  &#8220;Leopold&#8217;s closed.&#8221;
Undaunted, I headed to Fraser&#8217;s Pub - that other Wi-Fi-equipped [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, it&#8217;s not about the Startup, it&#8217;s about the process.
Second, it&#8217;s not a Weekend, it&#8217;s a lifestyle.
Ann Arbor won StartupWeekend&#8217;s &#8220;primary election,&#8221; garnering the most signatures on its petition to host an event, besting little towns like San Diego, Minneapolis, and Columbus (whose own event comes in July), and further reinforcing Ann Arbor&#8217;s place [...]]]></description>

Only security geeks understand the need for wireless security.  Everybody else (read: the vast majority of customers) doesn&#8217;t get it.  It&#8217;s hard to sell something when consumers don&#8217;t know  they need it.
Solution:
Interactive Flash animation and voiceover makes it easy.
Technologies:
QuickTime, Flash, Javascript.

		<description><![CDATA[Problem:
HKOMedia asks its clients to rethink their marketing stance - to think outside the &#8220;agency&#8221; box.  They challenge their accounts to tell their story in a compelling, visual way.  This raises expectations that HKOMedia will do so, too - and their website is the single most important piece of collateral to start that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Problem:
Teacher contracts stipulate that new-hire teachers must be given tenure in four years unless annual reviews can show why they shouldn&#8217;t.  To fulfill the contract, school principals must observe teachers in the classroom, write reports, and benchmark them against other scores.
