Interview with Brad Feld, Technology Venture Capitalist

Post written by Chris Spagnuolo. Follow Chris on Twitter 2 comments

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Brad Feld on the Rally Cafe. Brad is one of the managing directors of the venture capital group The Foundry Group. In this interview he discusses tons of topics ranging from the common mistakes startups make when approaching VC’s to what he see’s as “hot” in technology today and seemingly everything in between. I hope you enjoy this video interview. Brad is super candid and doesn’t hold any punches.  If you have questions for Brad, email him at b...@feld.com or you can find him on Twitter, he’s bfeld.

Google Maps ExtJS Wind Energy Demo/National Geographic Tornado VE Map

Post written by Chris Spagnuolo. Follow Chris on Twitter Add comment

New on our DTS Code Dojo: Created as a demonstration integrating Google Maps and the ExtJS Javascript framework, the Wind Energy Explorer is a site for viewing our nation’s wind energy capacity. The initial functionality is focused on loading state polygons into the map via GeoJSON. When the user clicks on a state, the rendering the capacity over last 9 years is shown as a Google Chart. The viewer also makes use of the powerful data grid in ExtJS, which automatically supports custom sorting. We will be adding more functionality to this viewer over the coming months.

image Ok, I don’t know about you but after hearing so much about it, I finally jumped into the Twitter pool.  Only problem is, I’m not sure if I really feel like swimming.  In case you don’t know what Twitter is, here’s the lowdown.  Some call it microblogging, others a social network of sorts.  Essentially, you can say whatever you want in 140 characters or less…and people can follow what you have to say via Twitter clients, RSS, SMS, etc.  Here’s some of the captivating content folks were providing today on Twitter:

A Tale of Two Teams Flash Video

Post written by Chris Spagnuolo. Follow Chris on Twitter 1 comment
I’ve been messing around a bit with Flash tonight building 3D cubes, globes, and carousels for site navigation and data presentation with Papervision 3D (very cool stuff and open source…read as FREE…check it out if you’ve never heard of it before). I’ll be posting more stuff about Papervision as I get into it a little deeper.  I also wanted to stick something on the blog to test out this little Flash video and viewer I did for DTS Agile using Camtasia Studio just to see if DasBlog could handle it.  It’s called A Tale of Two Teams and is a presentation I put together about a waterfall team and an agile team.  The video is also available on our main site www.dtsagile.comUPDATE: Seems like some aggregators can’t read the Flash video.  If you can’t see the video, please visit http://www.chrisspagnuolo.com/ATaleOfTwoTeamsFlashVideo.aspx.  Here it is, hope you like it:
