Turning Blue – Todd Reminds Activists “People need to get a life.”, by Cindy Lamb
Trying to contact Todd Blue for a comment or suggest an interview has been difficult but not without it’s enlightening and frustrating moments over the past seven months. I’m trying to make sense from a volatile email I received a week ago from Cobalt Ventures CEO Todd Blue, so the following timeline leading to the outburst is hopefully therapeutic for this scribe.
New Albany is a state of mind … but whose? Since 2004, we’ve been observing the contemporary scene in this slowly awakening old river town. If it’s true that a pre-digital stopped clock is right twice a day, when will New Albany learn to tell time?

Peering into Todd Blue's cranium.
The web site http://www.louisvilleky.com/ seems to be making strides toward justifying its "pulse of the city" claim. Lamb's account of an oligarch in waiting and his variable communication skills touches an appropriate note of Kurtz ... but I may be giving Blue too much credit.

ReplyDeleteMr. Blue,
I believe that I qualify as a "risk taker". You are full of shit.

ReplyDeleteIn believing that their "entrepreneurial" trajectories have anything to do with what the average "risk taker" faces, Fischer and Blue share the same peapod on what might as well be a garden on Uranus.
Of general interest, here's a quick comparison by Brian Tucker showing how poor ol' Blue's case was handled as compared to a similar one concerning an owner not so well connected.
