Scott Kirsner has a good piece in the Boston Globe appreciating "pure entrepreneurs" who go ahead and build stuff without asking for funding or permission. One of those he cites is my friend Pito Salas who is creating BlogBridge, an aggregator with lots of potential, currently in alpha. He also points to Paul Cosway who is working on what sounds like a very cool, portable Internet radio, called "Radeo." And he interviews Dan Bricklin and Bill Warner (Avid). Three cheers for pure entrepreneurs! BTW, I don't know Paul Cosway, but I can attest that Pito Salas is not "loopy" (which Scott meant in an affectionate way). [Note: I am on BlogBridge's board of advisors.] Posted

For what it's worth, my wife agreed with Scott's use of "obsessed", but does not consider me "loopy"! I rather like the affectionate use of the word -- I think one has to act at least a bit loopy now and then -- if nothing else to be able to ask "why not?" and find a way around problems.

Here's another delightful "pure entrepreneur" story of making something because you feel it ought to be made, and because you have the skill and commitment to do it:
