WHAT'S IN YOUR GARAGE? UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU.

...and speaking of nano technology...
The nations's military in its search for the next surveillance system, bioterror vaccine or robot warrior, has decided to take a peek into the garage.
In 1999, Gilman Louie had what he thought was his dream job. He was the chief creative officer at Hasbro Toys. Remember the job Tom Hanks's character had in the movie Big? That was Louie. "I didn't think it could get more exciting," he says. Then the Central Intelligence Agency came calling. The mission Louie eventually chose to accept was to head the agency's venture-capital arm, dubbed In-Q-Tel.
The enterprise was started in 1999 as a way for the government to tap into Silicon Valley's tech boom. At the time, businesses were spending millions on new technologies, and startups neither knew how nor particularly cared to deal with the Defense Dept. or intelligence agencies.
The CIA wanted to change this and get a window into what engineers were doing. The agency figured the best way to do that was by flashing a little cash. Then the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, put In-Q-Tel's mission on the front burner for folks both in the Valley and Washington, D.C. - Business Week

Through a program that recently emerged from an experimental phase, the Defense Department is using some of the nation’s top technology investors to help it find innovations from tiny start-up companies, which have not traditionally been a part of the military’s vast supply chain. - New York Times
