Sharing my thinking on collected/collective knowledge about emerging tech in Silicon Valley.


ellementK(ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā) noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin elementum. In this case, also related to the modern French mentir, to lie. (adapted from Dictionary.com)


About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski. I watch emerging tech and enterprise software for NEC's Tokyo HQ. I'm based in Menlo Park, CA.

Disclaimer: I've done big corps, startups and b-skool, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my company's.

Publicly available

Sharing the resources, tools, tricks, and concepts I run across in way that's public, electronic and reusable. Publishing reviews and noteworthy quotes from useful books on technology, business, marketing, economics, or social issues, as well as keeping decent publicly-available web resources. This has gone somewhat underground in the last few months, but you can check out my old consulting site for the current state. See my Bloglines feeds and my LinkedIn profile. I've been an intermittent user of del.ico.us, flickr and buzznet - when I use them more, I will make those available as well. Why aren't I cooler and already into those last guys? I'm not a big photo person, but like the experiment; for delicious, I'm scrambling hard enough to create decently-thought out blog entries.
