Sooooooo...
Help needed, take this survey
Hey guys, I mentioned before that I am taking US university level free online courses, I am addicted
One of them is technology entrepreneurship by Stanford venture-lab.org
Its about hmm startups. You have a hypothesis about a business model and problem and solution that would work in current conditions. They teach how to make it happen more efficiently.
So I am in 3-5 week of it and currently they teach about value proposition validation/testing.
Part of it is interviews, part making surveys.
So guys, here is open public survey from my team
docs.google.com/spreadsheet/em…
Please!!! Do it
Ahm, if you have questions of feedback I would love to hear it too THANKS!
other stuff
Okay... Where do I start... I am still freelancing part of the day,
other then that am taking Python web programming and this venture lab course. Loads of fun, not enough time ;(
My first elevator pitch
As part of that validation homework last Thursday went to TechHub Riga, a local variation of startup incubator. They have an open free to attend meeting once a month with some talks + open for volunteers elevator pitches.
Elevator pitch came from "You have 3 minutes of time inside the elevator with some boss to tell and hook him to your idea".
So 3-6 volunteers do it there once a month in Riga.
As part of homework decided to go, pitch, collect feedback. but they cut it from 3 minutes to 90 seconds ;( And I prepared for 180 seconds Ups... So did not went as well as I would have liked but was fun
Still waiting for video to be put online of it.
Pirate Part of Latvia
Ok guys, one another thing. Finally a pirate part of Latvia started to form. Went to small meeting around Creative Commons state in Latvia, in short CC is illegal here ;( Artists do not have a choice in how their work public exposition rights will work. For example, you can't tell Radio to play your song for free, in Latvia by law all public music performance including Radio in shops is taxed, no meter if it is free, copyrighted or anything.
Anyways, there are number of issues in Latvia like this, and there is no public opposition to industry groups here to make things balanced. But now PP is forming to step in and provide an opposition to find better solutions, not ones that benefit only some small interest groups at expanse of wider audience.
www.piratupartija.lv/ here is their site
And if some of you remember I was very very interested in this years back, was writing journals here or on my blog etc. Sadly I came to conclusions that nothing can be done unless some interest group like Pirate Party is formed, but now does form. And probably I finally can return to talking and exploring this + now finally also trying to do something too.
Guess that's it for now
P.S I made a post on my experience with the course if someone wants to read more blog.wonderwhy-er.com/stanford…

Wow, how long it has been. And where I am now.
I have not posted anything here for 10 years... Sheesh. Recently remembered that I was blogging here, and debating and discussing. Not only collecting art, fractals and publishing Flash experiments. And going through all my old posts and comments, that is so curious. Decided to share where I am today. Can't say much changed. I work for a while at Prezi, a visual communication company. Who would have guessed from my gallery here? :D In reality, Prezi bought this company https://infogram.com/ from my hometown. Looking at them, you could find something similar to what Flash was back in the day. Just check out the free form animation slide transitions I helped build. All in all. I am still me 10 years later. What a surprise :D I do not have a good place for sharing what I do as I had here on DeviantArt with Flash. But you can find me blogging on Medium here https://medium.com/@wonderwhy-er I share what I do or think there now, somewhat similar to how I was doing it here. If
Marry Christmas and Happy New Year
Haven't wrote here in ages :D
I am doing fine, actually you can read a little here http://blog.wonderwhy-er.com/blogging-again-and-merry-christmas-with-happy-new-year/
Just wanted to drop by to wish you well :)
And in short, am still having fun doing lot of things that are not that different from what you can find in my gallery here.
It just that DevArt is not really a place for applications as art -_- No Unity, no HTML5 support so yeah.
And I still can't get to making my own portfolio gallery on my hosting to share this kinds of stuff there...
Anyways, here this year decided to remake my interactive snow things but in HTML5/JS http://w

I took the survey. The only thing (aside from the education options) I'm not fond of is how the first few questions are worded. I didn't know how the respond to the questions because they were very broadly stated. Thinking carefully isn't usually a bad thing, but if its on an optional survey people will be tempted to just close the window...
