Cambrian House

Welcome
Well perhaps I should have clarified. I have the ABILITY to make a mean cocktail, though I make them very rarely these days. Back when I was a college/University student, I actually worked as a bartender for a little while.
We're working on some new copy for the CH landing page to that effect. Until recently we were encouraging CHers to migrate to VenCorps's private alpha. That's less private at this point and we need to update our site to reflect that.
The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts.Malcolm Gladwell
Cambrian House began as a crowdsourcing community using a wisdom of crowds based approach to discover new business and technology ideas. These pages are being kept online as a technology demo to showcase Chaordix™.

Seems as though we're getting a good list going here. I suggest that anytime someone needs something done for their project they contact a member on this list with the skillset required to get the job done.
Also - if you've done business with the person before, I think the watercooler would be a good place to write a positive note regarding that experience.
I may change the title to TEAM CH so that it is easily searchable once the thread dies and its easy to find for future members.
