Brainstorming with friends

Every Sunday for the first half of 2014, several friends and I gathered on my lanai and brainstormed a new way of interacting with technology. I created this simple video on 14 May 2014, and it summarizes what we wanted to make. 


The brainpower of the amazing individuals involved: Daniel VanTassell, Jesse Mahorney, Jessica Chambers, Scott K, and Suzie Senk. Suzie was the spark that started it. We could still make it happen with the correct investments.
