August 28, 2026Episode 0183: Vegas Ontologies
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…

August 21, 2026Episode 0182: Demos and Launches
Show Notes
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…

August 14, 2026Episode_0181: Info Hub
Show Notes
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.

July 31, 2026Episode 0179: DIY FFS
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The title is obvious, perhaps. Do It Yourself, For Flick Sake. Make a minor edit in there, the point though is this, do not as an entrepreneur or innovator wait for others on high to give you permission or tell you what to do or how to do it. Take a chance, follow your nose, and learn along the way. Then and only then should you be asking for assistance, and even then only if you must.

July 17, 2026Episode 0177: Serendipitous Collisions
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: If you are at all familiar with the Downtown Project days in lovely Downtown Las Vegas, you probably heard the term Serendipitous Collisions with regard to the people pursuing their startup ideas and others visiting to witness this undertaking, sometimes called City as a Startup. We should revisit that, starting but not ending in this episode.
