3D Eyeware

About a year ago, maybe longer, I was hunting for a unique wedding gift for some designer friends and happened upon Shapeways: a 3-D printing service.  I played around with their online design tools, however opted for a beautiful glass pitcher.  David Minich was shopping for eyewear and used Shapeways to create his own business: Make Eyewear. David creates infinitely customizable eyewear.  The beauty of rapid prototyping is that you can design just about whatever you want, then print it on demand.  What could you make with this type of technology?

I’ve been working with the members of my own Mastermind Group: two women with whom I have been meeting with-virtually- now for over a year.  We just launched our own website  MasterMind Meetups which is built to support you as you grow your business by integrating technology with networking.

Here, you no longer are limited physically when networking. We give you the opportunity to share, create and look into new mastermind formats, which enable you to create new alliances and accelerate your business.

To say it’s been busy around here is an understatement…..work is buzzing along nicely.  And, I’ve been meaning to get back and show the final shelf in A’s Workspace. Ta Da!

Wksp after A

Each project now has its own box which holds those pesky papers.  The second shelf holds all the project boxes and the table top is now clear and clean. He’s streamlining his work now and much more efficient.

by ·Comments Off on Playing with BuddyPress

With the upcoming WordCampNYC 2010 and some other projects I have been playing around with BuddyPress again.

ACoterie

Coterie is a French word for a group of people who associate closely, a clique or inner circle.  Seems a fitting name for an online community….@ least at this stage and until we get the final kinks worked out of the functionality of this type of community site and what we want to do with it.  I must say, Steve Bruner does great job explaining the installation of both WordPress and BuddyPress in this video.
