Especially interesting was our discussion before the podcast began where Phil revealed the photo you see above (he’s heading down to Lacrosse, WI next week to attend a radio station reunion where he worked in his twenties). Feel free to tease him.

Steve,
Once again, I must remember to not share anything with you.
Oh…you mean like this?
Thanks guys for touching on my recent project, SmartThings. We think it is going to be huge. It is certainly a very large undertaking and we’re going to need the whole Minnesota tech scene behind us as we kick this thing off in the coming weeks. Minnov8 is a great place to start!
You’re sure welcome Ben. We all are…but I’m *very* intrigued by what you guys are doing. Trying to figure out of it’s a Wifi box that does it’s own NAT to devices; if it’s a ZigBee direction; or what. When you can clue us in please do and good luck! Ye old internet-of-things is going to be huge and SmartThings would be on the ground floor.
Wow! I had no idea Phil was such a stylish dude back in the day;) Thanks Steve for sharing.
Every time I look at that photo my sense is that something is missing. Then it struck me: he needs a pipe and maybe a John Cougar Mellencamp album cover in the background.
