For those of you who didn't see the link on Twitter... the fine folks at TechDrawl (who are located on the third floor of Centergy) have posted a brief video of an interview with me. Enjoy.

ATDC Open Forum Follow-up
We had two incredible open forum sessions yesterday to discuss the future of ATDC. The Hodges Room was pretty much filled both times, so I suspect nearly 200 people took the time to come down and share their ideas with us. [Read more...]

Knudsen numbers
One of the reasons Bud Peterson rocks as the new president of Georgia Tech:
When walking him down to the lobby after our all-employee meeting yesterday, we ran into Ken Stewart (Commissioner of Economic Development), and had a brief but useful conversation. I mentioned how great it was to have so many related functions in the Centergy building, because we get to have casual serendipitous interactions with so many different members of the technology community.
Dr. Peterson treated us to a clear and concise 30-second lecture on Knudsen numbers and the concept of mean free path.
Yep, he's the big boss, and a talented administrator... but he's also still a helluva engineer!

What’s Our Name?
Preparing for Dr. Peterson's visit next week, I've been asked "so what's our official abbreviation"?
When the Enterprise Innovation Institute was formed four years ago, Martha Schoonmaker made a valiant attempt to ban any sort of abbreviation. But it's ten syllables, and humans are lazy, and some sort of short form was inevitable.
Unfortunately, the obvious acronym—"EII"—leads directly to "EIEIO," which is not particularly flattering. I'd like to strongly discourage its use.
So, let me make it official. We're "E-I-squared."

Photographers Needed!
EI2 is looking for a few good photographers -- people who can help document what the organization is doing to help companies and communities all around Georgia. In the past, we've paid professionals to do this... in line with the new austerity, I decided to shake the tree a little and see what's available among our own staff and friends. [Read more...]

Why Are We Doing This?
So by now you've seen the press release about reorganizing ATDC, VentureLab, and the SBIR Assistance Program under the single banner of ATDC. And that we're throwing open the doors of ATDC to all technology entrepreneurs in Georgia.
This is different.
