Hey Chris,
My name is Troy Angrignon, and I=B9m a Macintosh consultant in Vancouver, BC,
Canada. I have been lurking on the BioClusters list since...well, the LAST
time you posted this slideshow!
I have been wanting to get in touch with you on several fronts so I thought
I=B9d put them down in short form here below:
* FIRST...THANKS: I=B9m a full-time Mac consultant (7 1/2 years running now)
and my firm specializes in Mac/Windows integration for creative clients. I
am interested in expanding the company into the bioinformatics area for
obvious reasons. Because of this, I have spent the past year and a bit
studying, absorbing, lurking, and trying to get a reasonably solid groundin=
g
in the tools, applications, and data issues in this field. I want to thank
you for your very public education efforts (your posts to the Bioclusters
list, these slides, etc.) as it has been fantastic material to learn from. =
I
also want to say that from having read all of the mailing list archives and
your materials, I understand and applaud your vendor-neutrality and platfor=
m
independence. In my own company, although it is primarily a Mac-based
consultancy, all of my clients are mixed platform and in fact we specialize
in platform integration. I have never been a reseller so I have always been
able to ensure that my clients purchase the correct tool for the job. It is
that independence and desire to choose the correct solution for each of you=
r
sites that has always struck such a chord with me. That and the fact that I
do a lot of writing to my client base to educate them on technology issues
as well so I appreciate your educational =B3giving back to the community=B2
focus.=20
* APPLE USA BIO-GROUP CONTACT INFO: I am interested in getting to know the
Apple USA bio group and I know that in a long ago post to the list, you sai=
d
=B3contact me if you want the info for the Apple bio people.=B2 I am already an
Apple Consultant Network member and have tried to access them via my local
people but honestly, I think they may be a bit overwhelmed with their own
workload and are pretty under-resourced at the best of times. There is no
official Canadian bio-group at all. I=B9m very interested in working with the
Apple Bio-group and would greatly appreciate it if you could put me in touc=
h
with them.
* MEETING YOU IN VANCOUVER IN APRIL? Despite what I said above, I do know
that the local group is trying to arrange for the Apple Bio roadshow that
has been happening across the States to possibly do something here as well.
I=B9m hoping that you will be coming here as a part of that. If so, it would
be great to meet you in person and show you around Vancouver if you have an=
y
time free. And that may be the opportunity for me to meet with the Apple
bio-group so it may take care of both things simultaneously.
* SLIDES IN POWERPOINT?: Also, I was wondering if you would be either
interested or able to send me a copy of your slides in Powerpoint so that I
can print them in reverse (black text on white background.) It=B9s a VERY
minor point. If the file is too big or whatever, please don=B9t worry about
it.
* 150 SLIDES IN 90 MINS: You=B9re almost catching up to Steven Burrill of
Burrill & Co (the VC guy behind all the bio funds.) He was here for a
biotech talk and did 230 slides in 45 minutes. It was a very high-bandwidth
core dump. It was awesome but my brain was definitely full by the time he
was finished. There were MANY glazed eyes in the room.
* PHONE CONSULTATION: I would also be interested in paying you for a phone
consultation to give me a brain dump of your thoughts on the trends and
developments in bio-clusters, etc. from a business perspective. I would
expect that you have your corporate hands full out east and with your trave=
l
schedule. There is a very large and active biotech community here and I
would like to be able to build a really useful company that can provide a
lot of value to these firms and your suggestions, input, and guidance would
be invaluable.
Thanks for taking the time to read this Chris and thanks again for all of
your educational contributions. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Troy Angrignon.
