#114 - Silicon Valley Brings Technology to the Backyard, with GeoDrops CEO, Lawrence Ying

This week I had the privilege to speak with Lawrence Ying, founder, and CEO of GeoDrops.   Lawrence Ying is an engineer, dreamer, and the Founder and CEO of GeoDrops.  Lawrence was one of the first twenty hardware engineers at Google, and has been a pioneer in reinventing how modern computer systems work in the Cloud era.    His engineering team consists of many senior engineers and lead designers from many of the top U.S. high-tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and more.   Lawrence and his team believe they can take the very best in artificial intelligence (A.I.), robotics, and user experience, to perhaps the least technologically advanced place in our lives:  the backyard.   I have not used GeoDrops yet, so I need to be careful not to be so damn excited, however, if you know me, you know that I'm very opportunistic, and I do believe that the world has been waiting for someone like Lawrence to bring a product like GeoDrops to market.   My advice to you - even though you're not asking for it - is to visit GeoDrops.com, and join their Launch-Day Email List, so you can be notified as soon as the product is available, and if you are truly a Sprinkler Nerd, pre-order a GeoDrop so you can be the first to receive it.   Please enjoy this short discussion with Lawrence Ying.
