Is Zipthru a good brand name – last letter in alphabetical listings?
-

Does the color scheme from the Canvas link to other parts of the slides? Bit hard to follow the color scheme structure from slide to slide?
-

Colour scheme isn’t linked to anything, just semi-randomized shades of blue and green to break up the text!

@LuLu : perhaps go and interview as not “LuLuLemon” – pretend to be a “new company” and compare feedback!

@LuLu : do you pay people to do focus groups – how do you get them to attend?

last time we paid in wine and sushi, but it depends. we asked athletes we’ve developed relationships with, simple as that.

I find if people pay or give something for an opinion it will always be bias towards whatever you are asking them

@ZIP : what about a “Free Item” offer – shopper has to find something and gets a discount/free item – turn shopping into a game?

ZenithWind, how high are the kites? Is altitude a problem in locally? Back-to-grid has power quality req’s I think – Expensive Equipment?
-
adrienemery
Yes – If you stay <50kW peak production it is much easier though
-
adrienemery
but currently looking into regulations across country/USA
-
-
adrienemery
altitude is ~ 100m – 300 m (higher is better)

I think you just figured out what that other company is ACTUALLY doing for the military.

If there’s giant capacitors or something to store the power that’s being generated, that’s not entirely out of the question…

yes, currently looking into battery storage but will look into that too.

Pivot!
adrienemery 10:27 am on March 1, 2013 Permalink
quite possibly – start a battery or other type of efficient energy storage device
