Rock On Artistic Entrepreneurs!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Elliot McGucken launched Artistic Entrepreneurship & Technology 101 at UNC Chapel Hill in the spring of 2006.

Here is a video he produced in 2005 for the first class.

"What do you get when you combine an interest in the arts with an interest in entrepreneurial ventures and an interest in cutting-edge technology?

Dr. Elliot McGucken at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says the result is someone he calls an artistic entrepreneur. Thus, he's received a grant from the Carolina Entrepreneurial Initiative to launch a class called Artistic Entrepreneurship.

Known as "Dr. E" to his students, McGucken teaches physics and programming and has published a poetry book, a novel, a collection of essays, several scientific articles and - huh? - poetry in The Wall Street Journal.

Since 1995, he's run an online site called jollyroger.com that pays homage to the "Great Books" and serves as a forum for those who worship excellence in literature.


"It'd be great to build a couple hip artistic ventures in our own backyard," McGucken tells Biz. "Why let New York and L.A. have all the fun?"
