Media Highway Ramps
May 23, 2002
I'm upgrading my network, adding more equipment, planning to play around with digital media in order to ease back into the work force. I want to get to know the current state of digital media in the home by getting my hands dirty. Or, in the case of running wires under my house, getting my entire body dirty.
I still have a few details to sort out, mostly making the phone and video hub wiring pretty. But my new wiring is installed and working. With the wired and wireless infrastructure in place, I'm ready to get more serious with software and hardware for handling digital video streams. But there's a potential holdup on this "ease back into work" plan.
A guy I've worked with on and off since 1991 is in serious discussions with venture capitalists. He's got an interesting idea, and would like me to take a key position in a new venture. Damn. I think I'm catching that startup fever again.
