<—sneak preview, stay tuned… I’m gonna throw out a scenario, and see if you’ve been there before. You’re at a friend’s house or dinner party and someone breaks out a bottle of wine. You’re not that into wine, so you don’t recognize the bottle or the name of the vineyard, but you take one [...]

It’s snowing like crazy here in Seattle, the city is practically shut down, and I couldn’t be happier. Tomorrow I’m leaving for Christmas break and will be gone for about two weeks, so happy holidays to all if I don’t get a chance to post while I’m home for the holidays. In honor of Christmas, [...]

Since Christmas is just around the corner, I’m on a bit of a game kick lately. And since apparently it’s now OK for us Microsofties to mention the “i” word in a public forum, I’ve got some iPhone app ideas built up. Combine the two, and you get today’s startup idea (including this hastily thrown [...]

Speaking of thumbs up, a big thumbs up to Jim for getting me off my butt and back on the blog. Thanks man, and be sure to let me know when the site launches. Today’s idea is a throwback to those glorious days in the 3rd grade when Mrs. Commanderson knocked back one too many [...]

Last June while I was deep in the middle of my wedding planning, I wrote about an idea for a wedding site called “Bridechilla”. I kinda dug that name, and on a whim I snapped it up over at GoDaddy. For the past year I haven’t really given it much thought, but while I was [...]

Lots of stuff going on - here are the two biggies: Blogging on Seattle 2.0 About two weeks ago I was asked by Marcelo Calbucci (founder of Sampa.com) if I’d like to join his team on the Seattle 2.0 site to blog about new Seattle startups.

Speaking of Netflix, I’m receiving word from my inside sources that Netflix is planning to roll out a developer API tomorrow, October 1! I played around with a bit of the data from their Netflix Prize contest, and they’ve got some good stuff. And the best part? It’s licensed for commercial use! You know what that [...]

Thanks to everyone for all the great comments on the final post of the Y Combinator Challenge. As promised, I’ve put all the names of the commenters into a hat and the winner is…Joel! I got a real prize for this one, courtesy of a great new Seattle startup called GreetQ. Instead of explaining it [...]

I’d like to join myself in extending a very heartfelt congratulations to me for completing the Y Combinator Challenge. Coming up with 30 startup ideas over the course of 30 days (with one little break) was not easy, but what worthwhile things are? I had a blast working my way through the list and having [...]
