My Brain Hurts

My brain has been going non stop for the past few months.

I have been in the web world for almost 12 years now and never have I been so excited about it. The bubble was getting bigger and bigger while I was leaving high school and starting college. The possibilites back then seemed unlimited. I had some great successes both mid and post bubble but my excitement has never been on a level like it is now. I know I need to to settle down and just focus on one project. I keep rereading Paul Graham's "Ideas for Startups" and try to figure out which idea to jump on first. At the same time, I want to figure out a way to harness all of this thought and either store it away for later, or transfer it to someone else who can help develop the business. This is the goal of id345, and really the reason I started working on it...just a few more kinks to work out.

Sunday Funday

Ahhh yeah...
After our successful 24 hour programming marathon in Boston, Ryan and Justin and I decided that we were going to create a website a weekend. Last week we got the beginnings of vicinite going (I'll tell more about it when we launch). This week we are architecting what will become ID345. ID345 is an idea fruition concept that we are playing with...one of the questions we are trying to answer is what happens when you concept and develop a company in public? How will the complete transparency of all of our ideas affect the outcome? Does an "open source" company work? Stay tuned...

Decisions decisions

I've wanted to write a personal blog for a while now. I have my blog for my loft and a blog for id345. Maintaining a blog for a specific subject is easy, but how do I choose subject matter for a topic as big and diverse as Danny Newman? I think I will keep it as "business" focused as possible but of course personal stories are going to slip in. Please email me or leave me a comment if you have any ideas/suggestions/advice for this thing. Thanks!
