Open is the name of the future

Many people foolishly believe if they keep everything, no matter how limited, to themselves, they will be better off. I pity them. They worries about other people will know what they know, get what they have... they live in fear and a small, dark world.

The future is open. Open source, free... Look at youtube, bible, criagslists, wikipedia, google, facebook, linux. Or Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk/) MIT open courseware (http://ocw.mit.edu/). The good ones keep thing open, the best ones give things away, free. At the end, they get the most. CALMAT should learn from this.

Smooth sailing with no end in sights

CALMAT is moving smooth forward, but the future is still everything but certain.

The early storm has passed. During the storm, the focus was clear: survival. Now is not as intensive but no less perilous.

New homeport for CAL M and T

So we found it. Close to center of Silicon Valley. A highrise with a beautiful board room. It will be our homeport for the new few years. It easy access to highway, starbucks, peggy-sue. On Saturdays, it is a quiet, high quality place.

On a Sunny day walking around downtown, it is a pleasant place.

Arm Strong ship is not sailing

An old ship called arm strong in Oak land is not going anyhwere and might need new skipper.  The ship has been there for over 80 years and have tens of thousands of passenger had their journey on it.  Now in absolutely horrible disrepair, may be a good time to revive it?

Looking for major support overseas

Finished a trip to Asia looking for major support.  Discussed with several possible investors but CALMAT does not seem to fit in to their model and mind-set.  Several suggestions worth considering:

- Think big, these overseas investors might not be interested in $2M project, but $20M one might pique their interest

- Include CALMAT HIGH, an exclusive boarding high that takes care of overseas youths seems to attract a lot of attention.

- Approach investors that have to move fund to AM

In all, not a fruitful trip but not one wasted.
