FiveRuns
I haven’t even noted anything different here – but on Oct 1st ‘07, I joined FiveRuns as their VP of Development and Technology. A lot is brewing there, and the fruits of of our work will be visible soon. Recently, I’ve begun to blog there as well. On occasion, I’ll link through from here to…

An interesting pattern to make a brief pitch
I had an interesting discussion with Kelly Looney today regarding positioning. Based on his experience, (as I interpret it )positioning starts with identifying and sharing a world-view and then describing what you do (of benefit), in the context of that world-view. For me, it seems an interesting pattern to use to compose a simple pitch…

Down To The Desktop Or Up Into The Clouds
I think that my recent purchase of the iPhone has tipped the balance in quandry I’ve had. It goes something like this: I’ve wanted a better tool to manage my professional relationships (something I’ve been thinking of as a personal CRM). As a result, I’ve been looking for what Mac apps fill that niche –…

My profiles, managed by me…
So if vertical social networks become popular, then the horizontal problem becomes intestering, e.g. how to manage one identity across multiple services. OpenID provides authentication, but nothing beyond that. What about profile data ala Google’s form-fill? How? Consider this – if an OpenID enabled set of tools existed to extend OpenId so that when you…

iPhone
So I’ve made the plunge and bought an iPhone. Half the joy is in using such a beautifully designed product – every aspect of the experience shows so much thought. I can only add my kudos, and continue to be frustrated at how low the standards are for so many products.

It defines and limits what can be done without significant extra resources expended – which means cost, complexity, risk, etc. In a recent issue of Wired, there’s an article about how a new city in China is being designed with…

Excite Reunion
Thanks to Julie, we had a great Excite.com reunion party last night at her house. Ostensibly, it was to celebrate an old Excite comrade (Kuntay) coming to Austin to work (at least for a little while) – and it was a great reason for many of us to get back together. I have to say,…

MacFuse – Sweet
Ok – so maybe it’s a sign of just how much a shiny-gadget-geek I am, but I love what’s possible with MacFuse (and MacFusion). For example, I have an existing website (at omnis.com) that doesn’t have a ssh account, so the only way to deploy / work on what’s there is via FTP. So when…

Sophie, Squeak, Croquet
There seems to be more and more instances of platforms appearing which raise the level at which people can create, manipulate and share rich content in a rich context. Sophie appears to be another interesting entry, in addition to Croquet and the etoys work in Squeak.

TVShows
Great idea – how to get TV shows, not how to see a bunch of randomly named bittorrent files. Another “so obvious after I saw it” moment. http://tvshows.sourceforge.net/ (thanks to The Unofficial Apple Weblog http://www.tuaw.com/2007/04/16/tv-shows-automatic-torrent-finder/)
