we are all experts now

MagiQ, one of a few companies actually making commercial products using quantum schmantum, has solicited a DARPA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. And guess who is the first and second references?

Haha, I guess I should plaster my name all over the website so that I can be a Google parasite for Ike, Aram, Ken, or the Blatt gruppe at Innsbruck. Make room on those coattails, papa’s got himself a free ride.

Maybe this will all work out after all. I dropped some serious change on that scope, and Ryan is all like “you know, pinball machines also cost thousands of dollars, but the kids play ‘em everyday.” I think the implication was that the scope is like a pinball machine, and that by installing WoW and charging kids so much an hour, I would recover the money in no time. And then I could monetize by advertizing, like the startup kids say. I don’t even know what monetizing means. Perhaps turning things into money, like the Midas touch, or counterfeit.
