Google is coming to #Raleigh next week to talk about Google+ for business.Google employee
+Devin Buell is putting on the show at the Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh. Interesting tidbit:
“Local "power users" will also share how they've successfully used Google+ to achieve business goals. Whether you're a new or experienced Google+ user, this is a rare opportunity to meet, greet, and learn from Google and some of North Carolina's savviest social professionals.”
If you're in the area, it might be a great opportunity to see what Google+ is able to offer to
#local businesses and engage with the local Google+ community. :)
Thanks for the heads up,
+Derrick Minor!

It's been a crazy past couple weeks for me. I've been training up for my next fight (AFL 1, May 17, 2008 Elizabeth City, NC) and staying pretty busy at work. In other news, The Grand Tournament 2008 invitations were sent out, and RolePlayGateway will be hosting the event. I had a blast at the SEO - What You Need To Know Meetup in Raleigh, and met some great people (hi Ashley!), and got connected with the upcoming Advanced SEO Meetup (which I'm really looking forward to, Brian - sorry I missed the first one!).
Two of my friends passed away this past week, Brittany Custer and Chelsea Johnson, in two separate events. It's so sad - both of these girls had an entire life ahead of them.
A few of my friends have also had recent losses, all very devastating in their own way. I don't think you can possible hope to truly offer solace during times like these, but that is no reason to attempt to provide support and care for their loss.
It's a very polarizing view compared to what we often feel - especially looking at the age at which people pass away. With Cyclone Nargis and the China Earthquakes, there's a lot of pain in the world right now. It really makes you wake up out of whatever jaded state you're in and realize that hey, you're human. You're in this with the rest of us, regardless of how much hate you think you have.
I'm not participating in the elections this year. Full stop.
It's not that I don't feel like I can make a difference - it's that I refuse to be involved in what's going to happen next. I'll make my mark in my own way, this year. And hey, on a semi-related note, let me introduce you to an independent documentary (which means do your research to verify any of this) that I thoroughly recommend you sit down for 2 hours and watch. Two hours, give it your full attention.
All of that aside, let's all remember that we're in this together, like I said before. We need to be loving and supporting each other, through all of our trying times. Grow roots so that you might be able to nourish and feed others in their times of need, as we must do this in favor of our own health. (See The Golden Rule, figure 1.1)
For everyone who has lost someone, remember that everything has a cause and effect. You are still here and play a part in the effect of your loss - it is up to you to determine how you learn from and use the experiences you shared with this person. Be joyous and put these experiences to positive use, sharing and growing in their spirit.
Take refuge amongst your own family and friends - just as you have been there for them, they will be there for you.

SXG+: The Road TripI'm now home and settled in after a whirlwind trip to
+SXSW with
+Superdave Houdini, and getting back to work on
+LocalSense. We drove over 2,000 miles in total to
+HIRL with amazing Google+ community members like
+Carter Gibson,
+Amanda Blain, and
+Moritz Tolxdorff. It's over for me now, but the afterglow of meeting even more
amazing people than I did at the #DCHIRL will linger with me for a while yet, and the impressions they've made upon me will be permanent.
It started in Raleigh, NC where I departed at around 6:30 PM to meet
+Superdave Houdini in Valdosta, GA at around 2 AM. One Georgian speeding ticket later, I was #scheming with my soon-to-be roatrip partner (who'd just arrived from Miami, FL!) and
+Raleigh Burke in a Google Hangout for an hour or two before hitting the road again.
We stopped in Tallahassee, FL for some breakfast and #starbucks ( #buxxin !) while I knocked out a few work tasks, and were New Orleans-bound within the hour. We soon passed a sign for a place called “Buc-ee's”, which was apparently
797 miles away ( #WTF ?) [1]. This is apparently a
thing, and there's not one--but
multiple posts on The Internet™ about
that particular sign.
Following up our post-breakfast journey with a stop on Bourbon Street [2] for some wings was an absolute must, and we rewarded our success in overtaking
+Amanda Blain (who was stuck way back Atlanta on the
+StartupBus!) with a drink or two before cramming back into my car and cranking some #whitegirlfriday jams. Thankfully we had #bluetooth in the car, so
+Superdave Houdini was able to play the appropriate soundtrack for the epic that was already unfolding.
There was more
+Starbucks Coffee to be had in Baton Rouge, LA [3] before heading out on the final stretch to Texas, fueling our excitement as we looked forward to the upcoming shenanigans in Austin. Texas indeed greeted us with all its majesty, a grandiose
lone star at a rest stop just across the border, where one of Mini-Supes' (R.I.P.) last photos was taken... (photo forthcoming!) but US-10 had some surprises for us before we'd land for the night.
Just as we were passing through Vidor, TX, we encountered bumper-to-bumper traffic that we later learned was the result of an overturned truck somewhere along that particular stretch. Not especially excited to endure three hours worth of traffic, we decided to route two hours down towards Bridge City [4] and then west to Winnie before picking up US10 again on the way into Houston, where we stayed with the brilliant and gracious
+Calvin Christopher for drinks, intellectual discourse, and planning for the following day.
We all sadly lost a good partner and great friend that night [5], but we weren't to be thwarted--
the show must go on! We had three hours remaining, and needed to be back on the road. So off we went! [6]
I'm sure all the others will document the happenings in Austin sufficiently, so I'll save my insight for later--but I'll end with a special thank you to
+John Fanavans,
+Summer Fulcher, and the rest of you who met us that night when we arrived. That night certainly set the tone for the remainder of what turned out to be one of the most
alive, and
vibrant, and
incredible experiences possible.
Thank
all of you for making Google+ for what it is.
+Aaron Kasten +Al Ebnereza +Amanda Blain +Anna Lowry +Brett Bjornsen +Calvin Christopher +Carter Gibson +Daniel Armendariz +Daniel Enloe +Daria Musk +Erika Stahoski +Gisel Ocañas +John Fanavans +Johnny Roquemore +Joltrast . +Justin Myers +Ken Pham +Keyan Mobli +Laurie DesAutels +Liza Sperling (how did we miss each other?!)
+Megan Noel Rhea +Michael O'Reilly +Michele Predmore (even though we didn't get to meet!)
+Moritz Tolxdorff +Rory Swan +Sheighla Friel +Summer Fulcher +Superdave Houdini +Trey Ratcliff +Yifat Cohen.
(Did I miss anyone? Recording them here for posterity and more!)

Thanks for posting this. When we chose Raleigh to be our home 24 years ago we loved it immediately.. I'm glad it's still a place to be proud of.

Interesting, wish I could be back in Raleigh for this. Unfortunately that won't be happening. Hopefully someone posts the synopsis of the event. Please and thanks.

Raleigh scored #5 on Forbes' New Tech Hot Spot list. STEM employment has grown 17.9% since 2001. I'm proud to call this place home and be a part of the entrepreneurial culture that thrives here.

Since we've moved the LocalSense team into our new offices in downtown Raleigh (we're at 319 W. Martin St., feel free to swing by anytime!), we've been firing on all cylinders -- it's incredible what the community here has to offer. We love the RDU area, and want to help the startup ecosystem grow even further. If you feel the same way, check out the 90-day challenge Anthony Pompliano has put together.

Open Source ALL the Things!I'll be speaking next week at
+The Research Triangle Park about
#OpenSource ,
#education , and
+Coursefork. I'm extremely excited (and humbled!) to be a part of an event that includes speakers from
+Red Hat and
+IBM, especially to speak on a topic that I'm so passionate about. See the full speaker list at the official site!
I hope to see you there. :)
About the EventOpen source. It's faster, cleaner, and more accurate than traditional methodologies -- and it's the culture the Triangle is fast-becoming known for. There's a reason that Red Hat, the first billion-dollar open source company, has built its headquarters here.
For September's “RTP 180," we're celebrating our region's fondness for open source with a speaker series that pulls from our three founding universities (NC State, Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill), companies and communities. On September 17, we hope you will join us from 6:00-7:30, at RTP’s headquarters (12 Davis Drive, Durham, NC), for "RTP 180: Open Source All the Things.”
Our doors open at 5:00 so you can stop in right after work to grab a snack; a reception will follow after the event. We hear there will be tacos and
free beer.

Please see my post regarding
Capitalism versus Statism [1], watch the video from Anonymous [2], and take a look at the non-partisan nature of these protests [3]. Don't just look at my links, go out and
do the research yourself.
The #OccupyWallStreet movement appears to be spreading like
wildfire across the country. San Francisco [4], Washington D.C. [5], Nashville [6], Portland [7], and New Orleans [8] all had organized and peaceful protests today and yesterday consisting of
thousands of people. Other protests are rapidly forming around the nation [9], numbering at 895 different cities at the time of this post.
There's something very real, visceral, and most importantly
democratic about how we're using the Internet to show a ground-up perspective of what is happening at these protests. There's nothing like seeing people like
+Michael Mozart on the ground in New York,
streaming live video of the protests, or
+Rob Salzman sharing a steady stream of photos of the thousands of protesters in Portland
directly to the internet. It's getting more and more difficult to trust anything
but an individual who is on the ground, experiencing and documenting things first hand.
There is a major difference between "digital natives" and "digital immigrants", even at the chemical level [10]. We're entering a time where the people who've grown up with practically ubiquitous Internet access are becoming comfortable with adulthood and asserting their beliefs and opinions. This will have major and far-reaching implications at all levels of the human condition -- and I think we're only
beginning to see the manifestation of this paradigm shift.
I'll be at the protest at Moore Square here in Raleigh, NC on Sunday at 5PM. Join if you'd like.

2013 was an amazing year; between founding
+Coursefork, building
soundtrack.io and
para.io, working with several amazing startups [1], and being allowed to call myself a peer to some of the smartest people I know all throughout, it has been a year of both great achievement and personal growth. This sets an incredibly compelling stage for 2014 and everything to come therein.
Today, I'm excited to announce that I'll be joining the likes of Jeff Garzik [2], Patrick Nagurny, and Ian Patton under the leadership of CTO Stephen Pair at
+Bitpay, which allows anyone to quickly and seamlessly accept Bitcoin as payment, settling immediately in any currency, including USD.
Bitcoin has become one of the biggest stories of 2013, having grown over 9000% in value [3] and even surpassing Western Union in transaction volume [4]. As potentially the most counterfeit-proof form of payment in history, Bitcoin is poised to become one of the most disruptive technologies since the invention of the Internet as society moves increasingly into decentralized systems in an era of waning trust and increasing technological awareness by growing economies like China, India, and Brazil [5].
Taking advantage of this trend of decentralization, BitPay is perfectly positioned to serve as the mechanism for BitCoin's mass-adoption as massive merchants such as
+Overstock.com move to accept this new form of payment. It's exciting to be involved with a company in this position at such an early stage, and expand the breadth of my experience to include another decentralized system, and
especially to be holding the responsibility of expanding the company's open-source initiatives and engaging the developer community in a meaningful way.
After parting ways with Coursefork late last year, I've taken a seat on the Board of Advisors, allowing the amazing team we built to realize the vision of open-sourcing the world of education [6] under the leadership of CTO
+Brian Marks. Brian was previously the CTO of successful education startup WebAssign [7], and will be an excellent steward of Coursefork's team and technology as they move towards the much-needed decentralization and open-sourcing of the education industry. My best wishes to the team as they endeavor to do so!
Exciting times all around, and I'm truly lucky to be a part of it in so many ways. Now let's go make the world a better place.
[1]: One of which, DigaForce, was just acquired:
http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2014/01/02/apex-tech-firm-strategic-link-partners.html?page=all — congratulations to

+Red Hat team member from Raleigh. How's that for the Triangle Company Family tree,
+Derrick Minor?!

http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-can-be-the-new-western-union-2013-12[5]: You might recall that in March of 2013, the Cypriot government restricted withdrawals and then utilized citizens' bank accounts

Onward, and Ever Upward2013 was an amazing year; between founding
+Coursefork, building
soundtrack.io and
para.io, working with several amazing startups [1], and being allowed to call myself a peer to some of the smartest people I know all throughout, it has been a year of both great achievement and personal growth. This sets an incredibly compelling stage for 2014 and everything to come therein.
Today, I'm excited to announce that I'll be joining the likes of Jeff Garzik [2], Patrick Nagurny, and Ian Patton under the leadership of CTO Stephen Pair at
+Bitpay, which allows anyone to quickly and seamlessly accept Bitcoin as payment, settling immediately in any currency, including USD.
Bitcoin has become one of the biggest stories of 2013, having grown over 9000% in value [3] and even surpassing Western Union in transaction volume [4]. As potentially the most counterfeit-proof form of payment in history, Bitcoin is poised to become one of the most disruptive technologies since the invention of the Internet as society moves increasingly into decentralized systems in an era of waning trust and increasing technological awareness by growing economies like China, India, and Brazil [5].
Taking advantage of this trend of decentralization, BitPay is perfectly positioned to serve as the mechanism for BitCoin's mass-adoption as massive merchants such as
+Overstock.com move to accept this new form of payment. It's exciting to be involved with a company in this position at such an early stage, and expand the breadth of my experience to include another decentralized system, and
especially to be holding the responsibility of expanding the company's open-source initiatives and engaging the developer community in a meaningful way.
After parting ways with Coursefork late last year, I've taken a seat on the Board of Advisors, allowing the amazing team we built to realize the vision of open-sourcing the world of education [6] under the leadership of CTO
+Brian Marks. Brian was previously the CTO of successful education startup WebAssign [7], and will be an excellent steward of Coursefork's team and technology as they move towards the much-needed decentralization and open-sourcing of the education industry. My best wishes to the team as they endeavor to do so!
Exciting times all around, and I'm truly lucky to be a part of it in so many ways. Now let's go make the world a better place.
