Well it turns out that I come up #1 if you search “taxi app” in Google.
So since I have the eyeballs...

WatchThe History of Oakley
I think that the coolest thing about companies like Oakley is seeing that they came from some tiny business. Imagine getting the business plan for Oakley saying it was going to do grips for BMX bikes, how big is that market, $1-$5 million per year? Yet using the thin blade of the wedge they were able to leverage success in grips to being a giant company. Just shows that...

I blogged about moving PhoneTag to the Amazon Cloud in 2008. At the time we were told by many less-forward thinking people in tech that we can’t use the Amazon cloud to do what we needed, they were wrong. Once we were on the cloud I said in March of 2008, “I think it is one of the bigger innovations of the Internet”, I am not always right, but on this one I would say that time...

Watchvia brycedotvc:
There was a lot of noise made several weeks back about the record breaking project on Kickstarter that raised nearly $1M in their quest to build a series of watch kits based on the iPod nano. I didn’t pledge any cash to it; in fact, I never even clicked through to see what it was about. I saw pictures of it plastered all over the web and that’s all I needed to know. Or so I...
WatchOver the holidays the Today show did story on a girl that survived a brain tumor and then went on to build a jewelry business which donates half of its proceeds to Children’s Hospital Boston. It is a nice story and worth watching the clip.
