Alan was also an avid sailor who taught himself aerodynamics in order to be able to design sailboats. His love of inventing toys and his new found knowledge of aerodynamics led him into the pursuit of better flying toys. Alan designed and built the first prototype of the Aerobie ring with its spoiler rim that balances lift over a wide range of throwing speeds in early 1984. The first throw of the Aerobie ring on Roble Field at Stanford showed Alan he had something special. The ring flew straight and true for an incredible distance\, "as if sliding on an invisible sheet of ice." Alan knew the Aerobie ring could be a hit. He also knew the flying performance of the Aerobie ring was going to be dependent on maintaining aerospace quality standards in the manufacturing processes. He therefore founded Superflight\, Inc. (now Aerobie\, Inc.) in 1984 to manufacture and sell his high performance sport toy inventions beginning with the Aerobie flying ring. For its first 20 years of existence\, Aerobie Inc. was officially named Superflight\, Inc. However\, in recognition of the fact that all of the products were named Aerobie and everybody knew the company as Aerobie\, as of 2005\, his company's name is officially Aerobie\, Inc. The company is still owned by Alan and he still works on inventing new\, exciting sport toys. He now manufactures thirteen Aerobie brand products and sells them through retailers throughout the United States and to distributors in over thirty countries. All Aerobie brand sport toys are known for their extraordinary performance and quality. His warehousing\, packing\, and shipping are all done in San Carlos\, California.

The mammoth sized telecom industry - including cellular - is in the process of being re-written. You either stand on the side to be written into the past or instead join with the growing community to write the future. Opportunities to profit from the radical restructuring and in accelerating the development of how humanity connects\, communicates and collaborates have never been so great. Opportunity Doesn't Always Knock. Sometimes It Calls. The Emerging Communications (eComm) Conference & Awards was created to promote and accelerate communications innovation. Telecom\, mobile and to a lesser extent\, Internet based communications\, had been innovation stagnant for far too long. Yet the opportunities for innovation had never been greater. Those opportunities are only going to grow as drastic changes further impact the multi-trillion dollar a year telecom industry. Changes include: * Telecom is becoming software * Today's model of the telephony and SMS cash-cows will significantly dry up long-term * "Phones" are becoming general purpose always-on computers * A march is underway to change how spectrum is allocated and utilised * Applications innovation is being democratised * The media industry is converging with personal communications * Internet-style ecosystems are starting to pressurise the traditional value chain * Search engines and computer manufactures are encroaching into the space * App downloads\; media content and even communication streams are increasingly routing-around operator's billing systems * The telecom kingdom is fragmenting daily. There is not a migratory way from where we are to the future\; this means unprecedented opportunity for those ahead-of-the-curve. The debut San Francisco Spring 2008 conference broke a lot of new ground and created a forum attracting 300 top influencer's and 80 speakers from 15 countries. San Francisco Spring 2009 built upon that foundation with world-class speakers and a 25% increase in attendees. Amsterdam Fall 2009 is the debut European event and promises to further cement the community.
