As a newbie here in Austin, I'm excited to hear about a budding entrepreneur scene. I've become captivated by the so called "social revolution" and I even have a few StartUp ideas of my own. Although everyone seems very welcoming, it is an intimidating/daunting task trying to figure out where, or who, to reach out to and get involved in the whole "scene." After reading the post above by Antzy Pansty (I'm assuming she meant "Pantsy,") I'm shocked at the spirit and tone in the words that were spewed toward Irene Mwathi. Maybe Irene is sincere? Couldn't her intentions are pure? I certainly don't see anything wrong with starting up a "Katalyst" business to reach out to budding businesses who are looking for help. Last, if Capital Factory has a "rock star" mentality, and can't be bothered by us little people, doesn't that go against their very reason for existing as an incubator of young innovators? Anyway, after reading those comments, I feel even more intimidated and worried. Could I also be decapitated, if I reach out to connect. Next time, put your real name on your post, so I don't feel the need to conceal mine for fear of getting publicly reamed. Poor taste indeed, and I really hope someone is monitoring these comments.

]]> Comment on I’m a little Dewey: Honoring the spirit of Dewey Winburne by Dennis Borel http://austinstartup.com/2011/12/i%e2%80%99m-a-little-dewey-honoring-the-spirit-of-dewey-winburne/comment-page-1/#comment-2868 Dennis Borel Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:33:22 +0000 http://austinstartup.com/?p=6340#comment-2868 Dewey and I were co-workers at AIL in the 90s, where he was initially teaching dropouts in the GED class. He was always coming up with ways for the youth to do hands-on learning and started blending in technology projects. We put together a proposal to the State to do an early multimedia laserdisc on addition targeting at-risk youth. Kids in the program contributed to the scripts, had acting roles, helped shoot the scenes; generally gave the end product amazing authenticity, winning New Media magazine's national Best Multimedia Product of 1994 Award. The multimedia lab that was created to do the project became a regular part of the educational program. Of course, because Dewey was first and foremost a teacher. Proud to be a little Dewey.
