Omaha - A Billionaire building City?

My friend Jerry, passed an article to me from USA Today, Monday August 8, 2005 Edition about Omaha. This article is very interesting, so I thought of sharing with you, my readers. Although New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco boast of top 3 three positions in terms of number of billionaires, Omaha is eighth in terms of "per 1 million people", which is way above Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Apart from numbers game, Omaha is a wonderful place for many things like raising a family, creating billionaires and generating entrepreneurs like me :-). Omaha has so far given 4 actors, 1 president, 1 baseball player,1 Civil Rights Leader and three billionaires to the world. Mention of Omaha is incomplete without the Sage of Omaha, Warren Buffet. So what is the secret of Omaha's success? Is it quality of life? Short commutes to work? Excellent ethics? Decide for yourself by reading the article or better still, by visiting Omaha. Do drop me a line when you visit the city famous for Omaha Steaks.

Changing gears, here is a screenshot of the new Businessworks site.

Brainstorming - RFID Discussion

Radio Frequency ID tags or RFID Tags came into limelight when Walmart insisted their suppliers to have them by January 1st 2005. RFIDs have existed for few years and are used as security devices on Music CDs, Games CDs and DVDs and various other areas. There are however many unexplored areas where RFID solutions can be used.

If we go with RFID based solutions, manufacturing RFIDs will not our goal as it can be prohibitively expensive. Our goal would consist of using RFIDs readily available and building custom solutions and sell it to Government and private organizations. This idea ranks very high in our potential list of technologies. Tomorrow I will discuss Nanotechnology.
