    • Host: Dan Hugo
    • Summary: In recent weeks we have talked about data, numbers, plans, and people, and a while back we talked about top-down oversight and organizing a structure for describing and analyzing these. Now, how about if we move toward putting the various silos together into an observable system?

    • Host: Dan Hugo
    • Summary: Every once in a while I believe there is value in looking at our environment from some generic vantage point, not only as an entrepreneur in the entrepreneurial innovation ecosystem, but as anyone anywhere in the Greater Vegas area. So let’s give this a try…

    Show Notes
    • Host: Dan Hugo
    • Summary: The notion that a given population could be split into the Leaders or Doers, the Followers or Enablers, and the Spectators, is easy but not always accurate and certainly not precise. If we are indeed in Ontology mode, we could do better by settling on a Taxonomy that describes a population within a group under specific and varying circumstances. That may not make sense so give this a listen…

    Aug 28 2026
    Show Notes
    • Host: Dan Hugo
    • Summary: Any community or town, city or county, state or country has a lot of moving parts, progressively more in fact, with visibility not always made easy to the people livinging in these places. Transparency is usually too much to ask for, and forget about observability. Suppose, that an open ontology existed to describe the moving parts and their connections and data flows and whatnot, not to mention people and places and things and so on, so that everybody would be able to observe such a thing, and perhaps by way of a decenralized folksonomy, maybe coerced over time into something that fits our open ontology and which can fill in some actual instance data along the way…

    • Host: Dan Hugo
    • Summary: If you find yourself in the Greater Vegas area, you tend to know when something on The Strip is happening, or when anything in the Fun Economy is kicking off, because these are given attention, which means they get more attention. This mechanism should be available to our entrepreneurs and innovators…

    • Host: Dan Hugo
    • Summary: Here in Greater Vegas some would like to fancy us an Innovation Hub, perhaps even a Global Innovation Hub, or words to that effect, and some day that may be true. One milestone along the path to that goal is an informed public, and since Innovation figures prominently in our goal, it could figure prominently in the journey…
