Hello!

A little bit of stumbling might be understandable if you got asked out of the blue through pure serendipity. But what if you went to an investor forum and you didn't know about pre-money valuation and share price?

With the words "Madness of Crowds", Dave Simms begins his report on crowdfunding from our Cambrian House office. Don Holmsten of FilmRiot and MJ of Cambrian House are interviewed.

It took us less than 24 hours after buying the Nintendo Wii to pitch a Wiimote at the wall. The first time, nothing was damaged.

Or "Wisdom of Crowds" and "Participation of Crowds" if you like wasting breath. MJ outlines the broader vision of Cambrian House, and our challenges as we execute on it. Staff debates what has worked, what has not.

JR takes a leisurely stroll along the Cambrian House "Table of Work", asking our staff how things are going. Any answers which he deems unacceptable have been excised for your viewing pleasure.

JR is missing. All we have to remember him by is some footage of him interviewing Don Tapscott, the author of Wikinomics... and all of the awsome stuff in his locker! Dibs on JR's Dell notebook power supply! The jackals are already circling.

JR announces the winner of Red Pig Tournament, in song. Did you know that a song is simply poetry set to music?
