Kelly took a class in Agricultural Marketing this semester. It has turned out to be a great course. There have been a bunch of free market guest lecturers, Kelly got to interview our friend Al Tripp about his life as a sales professional, and today, she is scheduled to give a talk about one of the best television advertisements I have ever seen. The video speaks for itself.

Day 577 of 1000
My buddy, Brad, at Bioptigen signed up to get one of the first E-Paper smart watches on Kickstarter. He wears it all the time, probably to the make the rest of us envious, but mostly because it is very cool. It sounds like it has some pretty amazing features, but that is not really the point. Being very, very cool is sufficient reason to wear the thing at this stage in the game. The use of E-Paper is brilliant. It uses very little power.
This was such a great idea that the big boys are actively developing products to compete with the Pebble. Samsung has announced they have had 100 people working on it for awhile. Apple is working, on it too. This is classic. There is an earlier innovator bringing creative and fun new product to market. The big businesses see and opportunity now that the smart phone market is moving toward saturation. There should be lots of competition and invention that will benefit the consumer with fun and cool new products and features. This is going to be a fun ride.
