It’s our annual predictions show where the Gang goes over our prediction hits-and-misses from last year’s show…and then we try again to predict what will happen in technology in 2012. Listen to discover how we did and what we think will happen in 2012.
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson
Discussed during the show:
- Inveni (semantic technology startup based in MN)
- Apple iTV: It’s about the experience, not content
- Healthcare and devices: Big Healthcare Data; HealthPartners Launches Virtuwell; Zipnosis
- Brad Feld’s sci-fi talk at Defrag 2011, “Resistance is Futile: The Rise of the Machines” (unfortunately, no link to a video because none was shot! … but here are some photos and tweets from Graeme’s live-blog at the time that will give you the flavor)
- And here’s a related-to-3D-printing Brad Feld link: “Foundry Group Invests In MakerBot”
- 3D printing (Wikipedia); Eden Prairie-based Stratasys
- More 3D printing in MN: Custom parts maker Proto Labs plans to raise $100 million in IPO (in Maple Plain, MN)

In light of some of the niftyness available at the University, something I’d like to hear one of you guys cover in 2012 is a conference at U of MN. http://tedxumn.com/the-events/ aka TEDxUMN 2012-Apr-21. It is described as being for the Univ community, so unless you have a strong connection there, you may be out of luck.

Hi Chuck,
We’ll definitely look into that TEDx at the UofMN. Thanks for the heads-up and who knows, maybe they’ll let alums in!

Good show guys!
And of course, I can’t pass this up
… Good to see you (Steve) admit the terrible WordPress security record. As you said though, it was probably good training for a coming CyberSecurity Pearl Harbor.
(For those that aren’t aware, I’m an ExpressionEngine guy so love tweaking Mr. Borsch about his WP troubles)

Sorry I didn’t reply earlier. Thanks for the props on the show AND for another gut punch on WordPress!
Question: What percent of sites are running on Expression Engine? With WordPress:
+ 14.7 percent of the top million websites in the world use it
+ 22 of every 100 active domains created in the U.S. are running WordPress.
I rarely even hear anything about Expression Engine other than you tweaking Tim and I all the time.

Since comments on Podcast #149 seem to be closed, and since I just got word from a fellow CoCo member of the discussion about me on that episode, I have to comment here!
Just wanted to clear up the mystery of the one-named lawyer….no typo, most folks just know me as Davis, which yes, is my last name. And, another surprise, I’m a HER! (I can understand the default to him considering the general make-up of the profession though).
Anyway, thanks for the chuckle, and the shout out!

Hi Davis!
Sorry about the delay in responding. Yep…we autoclose comments after 15 days since spam commenting was off-the-charts and even Akismet didn’t catch it all (so I was manually managing all of it).
I didn’t make this podcast (one of a handful I’ve missed in 3+ years) but probably would’ve mangled it anyway! Thanks for the clarification.
