Being right, ignored and broke
Posted by adam on October 21, 2007 under Story Telling
We used to joke about this. We still do actually, but we’re fixing that last part. We might be right and frequently ignored, but we’ll get paid to stay in the corner with the geeky kids that quietly build a future that affords better sleep.
Why this post today? Maybe it was the news that Eclipse is laying off folks which reminded me of the Flighttime debacle of 2002. You have to love an industry that is driven by emotions, financial obscurity and whipped into a frenzy by magicians who bring you great flying things & programs. When Flighttime went bust in 2002 it was a classic case of the “double trouble bubble” kafuffle.

Almost every species that ever lived is extinct. Many of them became so during a single event almost 70 million years ago by an ELE, or Extinction Level Event. Something - probably an asteroid crashing into the Earth - kicked up enough dust to dramatically cool the planet almost overnight, ending the 130 million year reign of the dinosaur.
