An Open Letter to Mike Arrington
Mike -
My dad (http://ischool.uw.edu/directory/faculty/detail.aspx?id=3116) is the Dean Emeritus and Professor at the UW iSchool (http://ischoool.uw.edu). We were talking over dinner just last night about how to bring more of the entrepreneurial spirit and passion for innovation to the city. The iSchool is rapidly becoming THE premier school in the country for Information Science. My dad, and a colleague - Kevin DeSouza - (http://ischool.uw.edu/directory/faculty/detail.aspx?id=6894) are looking to put together an exclusive board/advisory committee focused on bringing in external players into the UW to help raise $$$, fund scholarships and endowed chair positions.
I told them that I thought you might be an EXCELLENT candidate for such a position. This could be just what you are looking for, judging from the recent press regarding your attendance at the Tech Flash event last night. I really think you might enjoy transitioning from the commercial side of things and putting your energy into helping support growth and expansion of innovation and entrepreneurship in the PacNW.
I would be happy to broker a meeting between you and my dad and others at the UW if you are interested. Please let me know if you are interested.
Regards,
--Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Time to dust off the post-its and resurrect some oldish pieces of meta from a few years back.
Stay tuned for details.
