Maker Faire Detroit 2010
My Personal Journey Thru Space and Time
- My Personal Journey Thru Space and Time
Anderson Theater Sunday 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM
My talk will follow various stops along my personal journey as a native of Detroit, from my days as a student at Cass Technical High School, to working on Bucky Fuller's 'World Game' in Carbondale, Illinois. Next stop after this was Silicon Valley, where I became a serial entrepreneur, part of which entailed deploying wireless networks all over the world, and that later earned me the title of the 'Broadband Cowboy' from 'Wired Magazine'.
