ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā)
noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski. Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff. Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's. |

They did it last year, I heard, and certainly did this year. The queue was enormous, though I didn’t think take a picture. So you’ll just have to believe me. You can see photos of the display here (via Flickr). Mike and I cruised by, but did not wait in line. Is it the “green” vibe? An acknowledgement that it’s the land that’s most important out here, or what? It seems a Silicon Valley extension of a pre-fab fascination that we saw in a Business 2.0 write up on prefab London penthouses - created by lifting units onto rooftops. Interesting business model in light of the increasing chatter about how now it’s not just a question of getting Fiber to the Home, it’s about the bandwidth that will necessary within the home. I daresay prefab could help out. But you’d need some serious manufacturing chops here. I told my little old dad about this, and he, a retired GM chief draftsman, said he always wondered why GM never got in the business of pre-fab buildings, considering their supply chain and competencies. If we are looking at cars as platforms (in all senses of the word), it’s true that houses follow along nicely.
