Back from an interesting and productive week in the nation’s capital. Entropy presented our Nimbus technology in the Army’s xTech search for new and innovative technology answers to threats on the modern battlefield. Supporting our military is always an important topic for me. We have been working to adapt the Nimbus ability to see threats of severe weather to include alerts of other threats facing front-line soldiers. Nimbus will add a layer of advance warning and protection. This is really the latest step in a long process of adapting our ideas and our thinking as we make contact with people and companies who are dealing with threats other than lightning and tornadoes. We can do it all.
Entropy was also invited to visit Honeywell headquarters in DC, where we met with our BD favorite, Mike Fleck and also met Beth Rossman, the VP for Government Relations. Entropy was given a personalized tour of the Honeywell Technology Center. It was especially exciting to see my company’s name featured at the entrance on a huge animated globe complete with cloud formations! (pictured above) This was a computerized walking tour through displays that illustrate the wide variety of technologies and industries that make up Honeywell. They are doing amazing things. Like many large multi-national companies, they’re involved in many areas you wouldn’t expect.
The day of presentations in the xTech program was extremely valuable but exhausting. As the CEO of a small company, you become the face and the focus of all new contacts and connections. The xTech presentations were part of the Association of the U.S. Army’s huge annual trade show, which meant a constant stream of new and interesting faces. Anyone who attends a conference knows how you feel once you return and try to sort through the piles of business cards and notes. Managing the avalanche of new names, faces, and potential connections to Entropy requires more energy and focus. But the best part is that I love what I do and I do it because Nimbus is going to make a big difference around the world. Cheers!
