I met Dan Shapiro years ago when I went out to fly kites with Elan Lee. What a delightful guy! Dan is an inspiring entrepreneur with boundless energy, always upbeat. He's had, I think, four companies that succeeded, maybe three that were venture backed. Dan did something super cool. He got excited about making a board game that would teach kids how to program called Robot Turtles. He made that game using Kickstarter or something, and in the process really figured out how to succeed at crowdfunding. I think at the time it was one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns ever for game. But then he took that knowledge and he used it when he started Glowforge. Glowforge is a desktop laser cutter. This is a tool you can use to cut materials. You draw something on your computer, click print and it'll literally use a laser to go cut or engrave materials. You've seen this kind of thing. Things engraved in wood that are done this way now, and lots of parts can be made this way for all kinds of projects. Dan wanted to democratize that. I don't know if my laser cutter was the first one he ever saw, but one way or another, he ended up with one in his garage and they were like these kind of crummy, chinese laser cutters with print drivers from hell that are used to operate them, and they're sort of dicey, but it's still inspiring because what you can do with them. Dan had one in his garage to make Robot Turtles. So the next company he wanted to make, Glowforge, was to try and take that amazing tool and bring it to everyone. And this was very analogous to what Makerbot had done with 3D printers, which I got to help with a little bit. In those days, Dan asked me what I thought about it and I got to help him, be a little advisor for Glowforge. They made this thing a very big success, in part by crowdfunding the first version and this was really hard to do. They made the first prototype. Made a very inspiring video about it. They did a crowdfunding campaign and got world record pre-orders for this thing and that's how they funded starting the company and it's hard to do that. Hard to keep everybody happy. All these things, especially hardware projects always take longer than you hope or estimate. I think they probably lost some of their backers along the way for those reasons. But they did ship, which was not true of a lot of other crowdfunding campaigns. I'm a Kickstarter junkie, so I back all kinds of stuff and a good fraction of it never shows up and a good fraction of it shows up and by the time it does, I can't remember what it was in the first place. I've been wanting to share this conversation with Dan with you guys for a long time. He's a great entrepreneur. I have a hard time getting him to say anything mean about anybody or anything, he's so positive. You'll learn about not only Glowforge and what they've done, but also, a little bit about how to think about these technologies and bringing them into the world. Enjoy!

How has a digital image platform with a legacy of over two decades adapted to the rapidly changing landscape of technology and user expectations? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, we delve into the fascinating journey of Photobucket with Ted Leonard, CEO of this pioneering company. Photobucket, a platform that supports more than 15 billion images for 90 million users worldwide, has been a steadfast caretaker of memories for over 21 years. Its mission is simple yet profound: to preserve users' cherished moments and ensure they are securely and conveniently shared with loved ones. But how does Photobucket continue to thrive and innovate in the age of AI and ubiquitous cloud storage solutions? Ted Leonard takes us through the evolution of Photobucket, from its early days as a photo hosting solution for MySpace to its current status as a leading independent cloud storage service. He discusses the pivotal shifts the company has made, including the transition to a subscription model focused on privacy and preservation, the challenges they faced in staying relevant, and how they navigated technical debt to deploy new, cutting-edge products. One of Photobucket's latest innovations is "Group Buckets," a feature designed to revolutionize photo sharing and collaboration within communities. Ted explains how Group Buckets offer an effortless way for friends, families, and communities to share and collaborate on photos and videos, enhancing the social aspect of memory preservation. As AI continues to shape the tech landscape, Photobucket leverages this technology not for generative purposes but to enhance user experience through image tagging, automated organization, and facial/object recognition. Ted shares insights on how AI helps streamline these processes and explores the potential of licensing content for AI training models. Throughout our conversation, Ted emphasizes Photobucket's commitment to centralization, community, preservation, and longevity. He discusses the company's carbon-neutral stance and the promise of not selling user data, reinforcing Photobucket's dedication to being a trustworthy guardian of users' digital memories. Join us as we explore the rich history and innovative future of Photobucket with Ted Leonard. How do you see the role of digital platforms in preserving our memories evolving in the coming years? Share your thoughts with us after the episode. Tune in for an enlightening discussion on the intersection of technology, memory preservation, and community, only on Tech Talks Daily.

You probably didn't realise that it's social media's 25th birthday this year. Back in 1997, a website called Six Degrees attempted to show that we're all connected by just six degrees of separation. It featured messaging between members and the ability to invite people to the platform. It was probably a little ahead of its time though and closed in 2000. Five years later, Friendster arrived and picked up where Six Degrees left off. It was originally a dating site where friends would set you up with their other friends to date. It was a terrible dating service but gained momentum as a way for friends to chat with each other and post thoughts about their lives. This was a true social network, but it grew too fast and suffered terrible outages that saw its users flocking to MySpace and just a year later, to Facebook. At the same time as Facebook was finding its feet, LinkedIn, Photobucket, Flickr and WordPress fired up their servers for the first time.

We are thrilled to chat with serial entrepreneur Peter Pham, one of L.A.'s most prominent early-stage investors and the co-founder of Science Inc. For those not in the know, Science Inc. is a Santa Monica startup studio and early-stage venture fund that manages over $100 million and recently launched a $310.5 million SPAC (they're also behind Dollar Shave Club).“You know what you're going to get with me, you're going to get a neurotic person who's passionate beyond belief. You want me on your team.”As an operator, Peter grew Photobucket to become the largest photo sharing site in 2007, exiting to Myspace for $300 million. He repeated that success as a co-founder and CEO of BillShrink, which was acquired by MasterCard. But how did he start out, what shaped him as a kid to become the preeminent VC he is today?“I think what shaped me in terms of growing up, not having anything and the classic American dream. No one's gonna give it to me, I'm gonna go earn it, work my ass off. I had three jobs to pay for college, as a waiter.”He spent 9 years jumping between 13 different enterprise software companies, but his advice for wannabe entrepreneurs today is this: “Go work at a startup, pick it up, try different things and just be the motivated person who's willing to learn and do whatever it takes, and don't get sucked into titles.”From finding your superpower, to founding Photobucket, BillShrink and Color, to choosing a co-founder, the qualities he looks for when he meets a founder, to the ideal company he's looking for. “Across all three categories for us, it's mobile, marketplaces, and consumer brands, those are the types of companies we're looking for.”If you're an entrepreneur, you don't want to miss this.

This show originally aired on Saturday, January 7, 2017, at 9:00 AM EST on WFED (1500 AM).

A few months ago, we sent out a survey on a topic that appears to be the bane of many listeners' existence: digital clutter. Over one third of respondents told us that the thing that drives them MOST crazy – the biggest, worst, most frustrating clutter quagmire in their lives – is photos. We promised you a podcast and a plan of attack, and our word was good (if a little bit, um, enthusiastic – listen above). With the help of organizational guru Alan Henry, Deputy Editor of Lifehacker, we've put together a customized step-by-step system to help you back up, sort, and organize your digital photo collection for the long haul. By then end of this process, you're going to be scrolling through your pictures and contemplating the role photos really play in our lives. But first, the time has come to get your photos in shape. Seriously. Now. It'll be more fun than you think. Mostly. The Note to Self System For Decluttering Your Photos and Coming to Terms With Your Mortality I. The Basic ToolsII. Decide How Deep You Want to Go Steps for the Casual Snapshooter Steps for the Moderate Snapshooter Steps for the Enthusiastic Snapshooter Find Your Photos: A List of Places to Look III. Tell Us What You Found (Part Two!) The Basic Tools According to Alan, these are the terms, tools, and basic tricks you'll need to get started – though how far you go with them is up to you. See: Deciding How Deep to Go. Back-up services: This is a centralized place on the cloud where you can get to the raw files of your photos if you need to. Alan recommends Dropbox, but iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive or the like could serve a similar function, so long as you're willing to pay for extra storage. One work-around: sign up for an extra account just for photo storage purposes. Auto-upload: You have two options with your back-up service. The first is turning on the auto-upload feature, which means you'll be syncing the full-sized files to your computer. If you want to get these photos printed, use another service like Apple Photos or Picasa or Aperture, or plan to edit your photos with software such as Photoshop, this is a good idea. The other, more space-friendly option: leave that setting off, and instead be really judicious about how many of your photos you sync to your computer, or commit to going in and taking the ones you don't want down. This is going to take some introspection, some cutting-of-your-losses, and also maybe some back-up hardware. Back-up hardware: An external hard drive that can hold all of the files you don't want taking up space on your devices. It's the digital version of flossing your teeth. In this case, pick whatever works for you – if you've got less than 64 gigabytes of files you care about, a solid USB could work. If you've got a lot more than that (or if you just want to keep your options open), you should spring for an external hard drive. Photo management services: This is the service you'll use to help you categorize and sort through your pictures, whether that's by date, location, or content. Alan's favorite is Google Photos, which gives you unlimited space as long as your photos fall below a certain resolution (16 megapixels or 1080p HD video). You can set it so that Google will automatically reduce anything above that size to lower quality as well – for most people this should be just fine for organizing and digital-viewing purposes. From there, Google's photo categorization technology will help you label and organize the photos into albums and galleries. You could also choose a social media platform like Facebook or Instagram, you just have to commit to making them more or less public. Facial recognition: A type of deep learning used by such services as Google Photos to categorize and organize your photos. This comes with some very real caveats. Scanner: The best way to collect all your old physical photos and store them with your digitla photos. Alan says you can go high tech and buy a picture scanner (he recommends the Doxie or the Doxie Go WiFi) to scan them at home, or send them out to get scanned. Or – if you're OK with really low fidelity– you can just take a picture of the picture. Meta! Privacy/sharing settings: Be sure to double check that you're only sharing what you want to share, no matter which services you choose. That said, Alan Henry says his rule is to only upload the images he is OK with his friends and family seeing. The only way to absolutely ensure privacy (well, as much as we can possibly absolutely ensure privacy), is to avoid using the cloud altogether. In Alan's words: "As for what to snap and what not to snap - well, I'm not of the mindset that 'if you don't want it public you shouldn't take it or store it on the Internet' – that blames *people* for problems with *technology.* However, it's important to be mindful when you snap, and maybe take it into your own hands to choose what to upload and what not to, then back up or encrypt anything you want to save but don't want out of your reach to delete at any time. :)" via GIPHY Decide How Deep You Want to Go Alan thinks we all fit into one of three photo-taking categories: casual snapshooters, moderate snapshooters, and enthusiastic snapshooters. Figuring out which category you belong to will help you decide how far you really need to go in your personal photo-decluttering process.  You've been sorted! (Kristeli Zappa M./Note to Self) BUCKET 1: THE CASUAL SNAP SHOOTER Characteristics: You have a bunch of photos all over the place, but you're not as concerned about organizing the past as you are setting up a solid system for the future. You primarily take photos with your phone. Your goal is to go from disorganized to organized, not necessarily to group all of your photos in the same place. Your steps: Pick a system for automatic back-up. Download the app if you don't have it already. Turn on auto-upload. On Dropbox – Alan's pick – this is called “camera upload.” On Google Drive, this is “back-up and sync." On iOS, this is "iCloud photos." That's it! Save your password somewhere safe. Invest in an external hard drive if you're feeling really responsible. Digital hygiene, everybody. Be sure to tell us what you've found. BUCKET 2: THE MODERATE SNAP SHOOTER Characteristics:  For the most part, your photos are already digital – just in a billion different places. You may have a few old phones, some SD cards from a DSLR or other high-end digital camera, but you're not terribly concerned with really old physical photos. You probably have hundreds (or maybe a couple thousand but no more than that) of photos you care about, and want them to be organized, both past and present. Your Steps:  Turn on auto upload for your back-up system of choice (i.e., Dropbox). On Dropbox – Alan's pick – this is called “camera upload.” On Google Drive, this is “back-up and sync." On iOS, this is "iCloud photos." Choose your photo management service, and transfer the photos you care about the most into it (i.e. Google Photos.). Start hunting down the rest of the digital photos you really care about and pull them into your photo management service. Be judicious: What's really worth    migrating off of, say, that Flickr account you started and never went back to? Which Facebook Photos do you want to make sure you're saving in higher quality? Did you have a SmugMug account you need to check? Once you've uploaded the photos you care about most into this central service, look through the albums it has created for you. See where the system has sorted it correctly, and where it has gotten details wrong. Take over as the human here, and start adjusting into a system that will be meaningful to you. This can be as intense of a process as you choose, just be sure to label with names that will be memorable. (I.e., not “August 2015,” but “Trip to Paris With Family.”) This system should recognize dates and location at the very least. If they're wonky – and older photos probably will be – pick and choose which ones you care about correcting. Starting to sort through your photos will also help you jog your memory about any meaningful pictures you may have forgotten. Track them down, rinse, repeat. BUCKET 3: THE ENTHUSIASTIC SNAP SHOOTER Characteristics:  You have thousands of photos — probably more than Dropbox or Google Photos' drag-and-drop interfaces can handle in one go. You use multiple devices, including cameras with SD cards and phones. You're looking for all of your memories to be organized, both past and present. You might even want to organize all of the photos from the whole family's set of gadgets, like phones or tablets everyone uses. Your Steps: Pick a back-up system. Turn on auto-upload for your current and future photos. Let the current batch upload. This could take a few minutes. On Dropbox – Alan's pick – this is called “camera upload.” On Google Drive, this is “back-up and sync." On iOS, this is "iCloud photos." Once you're done uploading, drag and drop as many of your already-digital but easily-accessible photos from your back-up system to your photo management system. For now, draw the line at your primary devices—the laptops or computers you already use, the phone you already use, and the SD card currently in your favorite camera you've been meaning to back up. Aim to get the majority of your current and most recent photos centralized. Once the bulk of your current photos are on your two services, spend some time getting in touch with your memories again, building galleries and doing searches through your most recent upload. Look through the albums your photo management service has created for you, and see where the system has sorted it correctly, and where it has gotten details wrong. Start sorting into albums that will be meaningful to you. This can be as intense of a process as you choose, just be sure to label with names that will be memorable. You're also teaching the system which details actually matter to you. From here, start hunting down old photos to add to the collection. Then, batch by batch, pull in old folders. Then, as you have the time, energy, or desire to centralize those old photos, you can power up that old laptop and upload them, or dump them to an external hard drive and upload them in batches (all of your old 2003 trip photos at once, for example.) This way you're making continual progress without committing yourself to a week-long wrestling match with the tendrils of Google and Dropbox every time you want to back-up your memories.  When you're as far as you're going to get for the moment... tell us what you've found! Where to Look For Old Photos If you're like most people, you've probably stored your photos in all kinds of different places over the years. Here's a not-at-allcomprehensive-but-hopefully-inspirational list of places to look: Your phone's built-in photos app Your old phone's built-in photos app Photo apps on your laptop/PC Drive/ Desktop Folders on your laptop/PC  External harddrive CDs/DVDs USBs Old cameras Email Text messages (these can take up a surprising amount of space!)

We had A Where in the Galaxy is an Officer Hunt and gave away multiple items to everyone who was in attendance, including mounts, pets, game unlocks, lightsaber color crystals, and specialized emotes. Most of these prizes were items that are found in the Cartel Packs. I personally went a little crazy buying some, in the hopes of getting a Sith Throne. (I didn't get one through the packs, but Max was able to procure one for me on the condition I didn't ask how he got it.) To mark the year, I created a yearbook via Photobucket that people are welcome to view, or add their own photos. Anyone wishing to do so should contact me through the EL forums. Here is a link to the page so far. http://s221.beta.photobucket.com/user/Pelell/story/6357 And speaking of celebrations, as mentioned earlier, AIE will be celebrating our 6th birthday in the next couple weeks. I know there are going to be plans across all games, and with a couple of our games under the AIE umbrella being F2P,

This week we discuss the Motorola Droid's camera woes, Google's Chrome OS, Fourcast Podcast, Modern Warfare 2's single player campaign, and much more. Spoiler Alert- the first part of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, and basically give away anything major in the first half of the game.

Man has it been a while. Myself and John host this show, which covers way more topics than we have been, and was loads of fun to record. Mike joins the show a little late, just in time for part 1 of our talks on Modern Warfare 2. Here's a link to Volpin Props, the link of the week. Worth reading and looking at the Flickr feed if you like to build stuff. Also be sure to check out V on Hulu, its fun.
