I decided to spill the beans so-to-speak. In 2004 I began working on a business plan for a very creative new business that would revolutionize the way consumers purchase durable goods. In 2005 Digital Reality was born. In 2006 I formed the company around a C Corporation and issued 1 million shares of stock. I raised a bit of money too. That same year, I filed a patent with the USPTO titled Made-To-Order Digital Manufacturing Enterprise and attended RAPID in Chicago where I met the likes of Todd Grimm, Terry Wohlers, Carl Dekker and more. In 2007, I published a demo of a website powered by Digital Factory™ which was discovered by someone on the Make Magazine website
HERE. Which led to some general publicity around the project:

As they say...it is easier to get struck by lightning on a clear blue sky day...in Airzona...while standing in an empty swimming pool than it is to raise venture capital! Its true!
I have spent 5 years prosecuting patent(s) and a new 9/11 GT3 worth of cash, as well as countless hours of my time, developing software, learning and waiting for technology to catch up to me!
