getting back into the groove...
Part of me misses blogging. Storing my ideas and thoughts into this... endless book it feels like.
status on prime...
Prime had its first beta test run last week. Twas a success and it yielded a ton of data for us. Its always good to see data already entered into an excel sheet. Just puts a warm glow on me. Those hours of entering the data, nope, didn't have to do it! Next up refinement of the tool. Gonna look into some at a glance reporting and auto analysis.
stuff ive been messing with...
I've been playing with Comic Life on the mac lately. Its a very easy to use app to play with. Its alot of fun too. You can check it out...

I've been thinking about buying this thing... and i know that seems really stupid, but seems kinda fun too... i keep thinking I could use this in research somehow..
in beta...
I've been messing with twitter lately, it hasn't latched on to me yet. Its like a mini thought blog thing. I dunno. I tried out wesabe out last night, pretty cool, like quicken for the web and i've never used quicken.. lol, i guess i can't make those claims really, but people say its like quicken or msn money for the web. More so its like flickr for money. You get cool tags, social collective tips and sweet data views.
Interest in pheeder died out on me awhile back. The eTel con just wrapped up and there's a whole new slew of voip type apps, many of which seem to go into pheeders direction. One new app called grandcentral seems pretty cool. I like the idea of listening to voicemail while its being recorded. Sadly, I don't get enough calls to really justify these voip tools.
blog bits...
Today I read a bit piece on the attention economy. This is something thats happening now, its coming, the wave is almost here really.
I've been reading the ycombinator vc news blog lately. Basically a nice list of vc, startup like news.
I caught this article in the wall street journal today... very good stuff. Personally as a blogger I write and create this material more for me than for anyone else.
