The icebox revelation
I have put everything on hold for the last 5 months. I had been working 16 hour days in Ohio prior to committing to my idea and wished I could take a break from all the non-stop work to focus on my ideas. I worked feverishly on the idea. Keeping myself from attending the social functions or family functions in order to get this idea off the ground.
It’s easy to come up with the idea,...
800,000 US households drop TVs for the web →
A post back in April 2010 stated that 800,000 US households abandoned their televisions for the web, almost 600,000 in 2009 alone. Of course, television is not going away and I would not want that to happen. We just need a place to extend conversation outside of the traditional media.

Building a new way of thinking.
I have been pushing for a new way to open up the conversations we have with each other on a regular basis. Some of the most amazing conversations I have had with a colleague are distant memories. Imagine all of the other conversations the world is missing that could be life-changing. Game-changing. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to not be remiss in allowing free-flowing...
Website design and video hosting
The website design on www.thelatestwith.com is not to considered our final website design. This website is purely informational and designed by me to quickly advance information to you as fast as possible. Currently I have a sketch of the site design done in Photoshop and hope to generate more great ideas and a final site with strong website designer and programmer.
The demands of our idea...
We are just beginning.
Continuing to work today - the contest may have ended, but getting this idea off the ground will require non-stop hard work.

This is business. We are taking this serious (and...
I am pushing hard to get votes from people who believe in my idea. I have received responses from many of you about the idea and your thoughts on it, both positive, supportive AND some critical. I have even stopped strangers in the street to ask them to vote and had to answer the tough questions. Surprisingly they watched my video, read my entry, voted, AND emailed their thoughts on the idea....
Time is really running out.

Dare to Dream
Dare to dream of far off lands, Dream of deserts, covered in sand. Dream of rainforests, trees high above Dream of finding your one true love. Dare to dream of lies or the truth, Dream of never losing your youth. Dream of battles, dream of a spark. Dream of light, a light in the dark. Dare to dream of fighting and sadness, Dream of men, succumbed to madness. Dream of warmth and heat and...
Conversation.
Glad to see so many of you voting and supporting. We have proved there is a need for this type of communication across the Internet. Yes, we love technology, but it does us no good if we can’t increase the quality of the conversation across the globe. It’s not technology, it’s not television, it’s bigger than this…This is conversation.
Be sure to vote if you...

About creating and building.
All my life I have pushed myself to always think out of the box. I have a company that is 13 years old and was created to bring new ideas to life. It has been great to build new ideas without depending on someone else to validate them. This new idea is the brainchild of many years of my experience and technology coming together in one place. I want a central place to have all this conversation...

A little history....
The support we have been getting for this project is amazing. This idea was hatched on paper four years ago, but shelved because the technology and audience were not ready. About 4 months ago, I pulled the document out and dusted it off. With a lot of sweat and long nights, it’s finally ready. I just need a few technical items to connect it together and we’re off. The Global...
