Big, hairy, audacious goal

Posted on January 1st, 2007 by Sacha Chua

2My Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal for the next eight months is to help huge companies imagine how they can help people connect by prototyping my research idea, figuring out how it can be improved and made into a product, and writing up my thesis. A thesis is a pretty big goal. Just ask all the people who finish everything but their thesis. Even really smart people. Even my friends. And I'm pushing even further than that. I want my thesis to be practical *and* research-worthy. I want to take it into the business world. I'm going to need help making this happen, and I'm going to need a lot of personal strength, too.
