Lunch 2.0

February 22, 2008

Chuck and I

Filed under: Lunch Five-O, SVWB, Silicon Valley, food, lunch 2.0 — SVWB @ 6:36 pm

Yes I’d like to confirm the rumors that Silicon Valley Web Builder (SVWB) is planning a Documentary Film about Browsers and Web 2.0 in Silicon Valley. SVWB is the Media Sponsor for 7th Annual Macworld Final Cut Pro SuperMeet organized by SF Cutters. Who will think a film group needs a web group to get the words out? I shared my dream plan to the film group leaders and professionals over the past few months. Not only no one tease or laugh at me, but these film professionals also encourage me to stay on my dream plan by sending me many supporting emails. After months of research, our production unit has gathered sufficient information as a starting point. The missing part is funding on film equipments. Any help out there?

What Chuck and I have in common? Like Chuck on TV Series, I was the only one board member left with the visual database of people and past history from the last web organization I served on. Like Chuck, I am geek by day and I am geek action figure by night in building and restoring a web group in Silicon Valley from scratch. Like Chuck, we receive good care from organizations like SD Forum and other industry groups. Like Good Luck Chuck, I do occasionally bring good luck charms to things we covered. The latest is OpenSocial. I’ll tell you more later.

The film is to promote peace and freedom within Browsers as an effort to spark innovation and breakthrough technologies. Like the movie “National Treasure”, I think the secrets lie within Browsers. Web is our National Treasure.

I urge all the internet leaders to focus on innovation rather than protecting old technologies. I urge Bill Gates to untie the lock between Operating System and Internet Explorer. Many users using second-handed computers in recycle markets and other countries can’t upgrade their old browsers to latest versions due to the lock. Bill, just free the users!

Here’s the free food part. Our 2nd Hackaton is hosted at University of Phoenix (UOP) San Jose campus, the same education institute that hosted this year Superbowl. UOP is providing the state-of-the-start facility like spacious classroom, wireless, outlet, white boards, food and drink. UOP management team is giving us almost their entire classroom building. Hi5 is shipping their entire platform team including their founder to support our event for the entire Sat afternoon. Of course, action figure like myself carry heavy boxes of prizes. Indeed we are in Mission Impossible style.

Apple pie Apple pie. I’ve watched every single episode of Chuck online. It is very cool to show Sarah Walker to use her iPhone, Chuck used image software to find clues and his new iphone in his action. It is so cool to show the geek girls jumped in, kicked butt, and rescued Chuck on the Stanford Episode. Sure geek girls like to kick butts and rescue guy geeks in troubles. I would be thrilled if any cast member will visit us in Silicon Valley and drop in our events on your break times (contact: thewebsig@gmail.com). The latest storyline is around the security issues on social networking and the increasing number of high profile politicians and presidential candidates and their family using these social networking sites without checking how to delete personal sensitive information like buying habits. I also like to point out NBC executives make some smart decisions in using Ruby On Rails on their Hulu.com TV project. Ruby is the “new” diamond.

Note: I decide to chat a bit more especially our officers have been complaining that we didn’t receive much credits and recognition from our latest efforts.

Lunch 2.0 Goes Hawaiian Style!

The tech business lunch phenomenon that started in Silicon Valley — and spread globally to places like Germany, Netherlands and India — comes to Hawaii to provide the Aloha State’s tech community with a new twist on networking.

Lunch will be provided by HiBEAMHawaii Business and Entrepreneur Acceleration Mentors — a nonprofit dedicated to helping launch and build promising early stage technology, biotechnology and life sciences companies by providing expert professional advice and access to funding sources.

Featured at the event are two HiBEAM portfolio companies: PeopleBridge and ChipIn. Social networking platform provider PeopleBridge, founded by Dave Kozuki who started GlobalPauHana.org, is the largest social network specifically for kama’aina. ChipIn is a Web-based service that simplifies the process of collecting money from groups of people. Using a ChipIn widget, you can easily promote the ChipIns on the social networking sites you already use and track the demographics of those chipping in.

This Lunch 2.0 Hawaii is brought to you by Dave Kozuki, Wally Roth and Keith Kamisugi. We hope to see you there, and if you can’t be there physically, please, where ever you are, on Dec 28th, Friday, 2007, be sure to Lunch w/ Aloha…
