Blue Hat TV
I am interested in doing interviews regarding Design Driven Business for Blue Hat TV. This is a video blog that I recently initiated at http://www.bluehat.tv. Our goal is to present information on art, craft and creativity.
Please note this is a video blog. Production values are much different than those required for corporate videos. We improve in quality as we move along in the process. We have posted our first video and I am in post-production on four others with a release scheduled every two weeks.
I am in Coldwater, MI and can schedule taping at your convenience.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Artists from around the world are expected to descend on Grand Rapids this fall to compete for votes and the world's largest prize for art during a two-week event announced by Amway heir Rick DeVos this morning.
The $500,000 ArtPrize competition is designed to draw worldwide attention to Grand Rapids through its integration of technology, a diverse group of venues and the creations of hundreds of competitors working in virtually any medium.
Saying the comparison to "American Idol" is "inevitable," DeVos said prizes will be awarded based on public votes cast via text messages, the Web and special applications developed for devices such as the iPhone.
DeVos said he sees the democratic and technological aspects of the event as a way to "reboot the conversation between artists and the public."
The competition begins Sept. 23. Ten top vote recipients will be chosen after the first week to compete in a second round of public voting for the $250,000, $100,000 and $50,000 first, second and third place prizes to be awarded Oct. 8. Each finalist will receive at least $7,000.
The announcement ended more than a week of speculation that began when DeVos sent invitations to an event this morning where he planned to announce "a major initiative that will affect Grand Rapids for years to come."
A webcast of the public announcement of ArtPrize is available at the Internet broadcasting site Ustream.tv at 9 a.m. on the online video broadcasting site ustream.tv.

product ideas to solve problems
I have an idea for a product that would help solve a pretty common problem that I would like to try to develop, and am not sure where to go next. It has been suggested that maybe an industrial designer could help me with the next step, which would be to develop a prototype. Is there anyone you might suggest that is part of this group, or that you could recommend? I also need to protect this idea, so I will also need a patent attorney.
I would also really like to attend any events you might be planning. Can you please let me know? Thanks-Good luck to you as you get Design West Michigan up and running!
