Memoirs of an entrepreneur Ever wonder how a startup comes together—the people, places, skills, failures, and hustle that make it a real business?This is the story of David and David, two entrepreneurs with lots of energy and less of a roadmap than you might think. In 1993, David Cohen and David Brown founded their first company, Pinpoint Technologies, which grew from a basement startup to a successful multinational company with $50 million in annual sales and over 250 employees. Chronicling the story of that company from its beginnings up to 1999, when it was sold to ZOLL, and beyond, No Vision All Drive is the story of that company and the people who transformed a flat-broke, shot-in-the-dark concept into a market-leading small business. * This book is not about business; it's about people * David and David recount their experiences together * Insight on how to build a successful startup * Turn a seed idea into reality Startup founders and startup employees, venture capitalists, serial entrepreneurs, and anyone with an interest in stories of determination and hard work will love No Vision All Drive.

Can techniques traditionally thought to be outside the scope of literature, including word processing, databasing, identity ciphering, and intensive programming, inspire the reinvention of writing? The Internet and the digital environment present writers with new challenges and opportunities to reconceive creativity, authorship, and their relationship to language. Confronted with an unprecedented amount of texts and language, writers have the opportunity to move beyond the creation of new texts and manage, parse, appropriate, and reconstruct those that already exist. In addition to explaining his concept of uncreative writing, which is also the name of his popular course at the University of Pennsylvania, Goldsmith reads the work of writers who have taken up this challenge. Examining a wide range of texts and techniques, including the use of Google searches to create poetry, the appropriation of courtroom testimony, and the possibility of robo-poetics, Goldsmith joins this recent work to practices that date back to the early twentieth century. Writers and artists such as Walter Benjamin, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, and Andy Warhol embodied an ethos in which the construction or conception of a text was just as important as the resultant text itself. By extending this tradition into the digital realm, uncreative writing offers new ways of thinking about identity and the making of meaning.

The most compelling part of the history of theNew York Timesin the second half of the twentieth century—according to Timesmen in Washington—was the fierce struggle between the bureau in Washington and headquarters in New York.¹ By rights, control belongs to who pays the bills. But in 1932 owner Adolph S. Ochs was in deep need of a Washington bureau chief, the incumbent having died unexpectedly, and Arthur Krock consented to take the job—but only if Ochs gave him total autonomy. In Washington he then reigned as “potentate,” thought Tom Wicker. “He could set out to

The network industry lost an important supporter in the week of Apr 1, 1996, when Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was killed in a plane crash. In the Clinton administration, VP Al Gore is often credited with giving primary consideration to technology, but it was Brown and his department that focused on what the administration calls the National Information Infrastructure (NII). Brown was particularly active in promoting the information superhighway during 1994, when it began to become clear that a worldwide information structure was coming into being. In a 1995 meeting in Brussels, Belgium, Brown and Gore pressed telecommunications ministers and government officials to open their markets to competition. Brown regarded information technology as a means for uplifting people both in the US and elsewhere.
