When I retired I knew that the things I had to rely on were gone, and the need to be creative continued even though at a early age I picked 52 as the right time to retire so that I could still do stuff, that happened because John Sykes gave me an offer that I couldn始t refuse. There are two things that I wanted to do that were the outcome of my family members being tossed out in the street by Sykes... I knew that Jeff and Ed didn始t like each other, but it was always Ed that was trying to instigate. So, I hired Chris and Jeff and Jamie and Joe to make new Internet sites and products that would have a long term market opportunity. Digital Libraries was a passion, a place to put what you had done with your life, and a place to store and retrieve the digital items that tell your story... www.avstreams.com to stream Real Video the first tech www.aiengines.com to further the work at MAST www.talkstory.com for commercial future business www.bigkahuna.net for the Native Hawaiians The effort was remote, with me in Marco and all of them on the Beach above Zeldas Capitola Beach buildings. We had email but I wanted Video Chat... I also had Krystle hire Gene King and Ann King and move them to Marco to live with us, so Krystle had a close friend, Ann. And Gene could take care of the Accounting of a
home in Santa Cruz, and one in Marco. employees full time, two Coast Guard Captains and First Mate, plus housekeeper, etc. The progress in Artificial, Inc was constantly getting off course, with personal projects. The effort to SELL something was not happening. I gave each one of them a chance to run it to straighten it out to no avail. I closed Artificial, Inc. Capitola. I paid for everything.
