Wulle Bulle

I spent a long weekend in Havre De Grace visiting my friend Andrew who lives at Bulle Rock. It's a beautiful place, so as I was leaving I grabbed a video of the club house and some of the grounds.

The running of the Bulle
Interesting local trivia factoid: the gabled house I pass was featured prominently in the movie Tuck Everlasting. Oh, and they play a major golf tournament here too.

New Additune

Pickin' hot, Pickin' cold
I was downloadin' into overload
It was extreme
Some iTunes were high, some low
So low, there was nowhere to go
From a baaaad song

Now the songs are uncrossed, turntables got unturned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn

I'm feelin' good from my headphones to shoes
It tells what song's I'm likin' and just what to do
It tidied up downloaded iTunes
I got a new Additune


I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've found songs I love that never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new Additune

I'm listenin' to new songs, new tunes
Brand new beats, as a matter of fact I've changed for good
It must have been the cool code, free ware, new site
I don't have to pay them but I feel like I should

Somehow the wires uncrossed, the turntables unturned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn

I'm feelin' good from my headphones to my shoes
It tells what song's I'm likin' and just what to do
I tidied up my downloaded iTunes
I got a new Additune

I'm in control, my worries are few
'Cause I've found songs I love that never knew
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got a new Additune

my sincere apologies to the lovely and talented Ms. Patti Labelle


Ok, even if you don't like my silly song lyrics, please check out the new startup by my good friend Justin Smithline, Additune. It's a fun, free way to find great new music in iTunes!

Thousand Ideas

This past weekend a group of Ithaca entrepreneurs took a trip to the Thousand Islands. It was a weekend of delicious beer, great food, and enthusiastic entrepreneurial chatter.

House of Big Ideas
In attendance we had Tom, Fox, Jon, Andrew, and John. A creative and hard working crew to a man. We kicked around some big ideas. John taught us all about Blue Ocean Strategy, and Fox taught us how to catch huge pike:


Big Fish from a Big Thinker
Entrepreneurship can often times be a lonely activity. Having smart and motived like minded peers like these guys makes all the difference.


The next big opportunity is right there

A special thanks to Jon's father in law for letting us stay on his private island, Club Jer.
