8-Bit Musical Goodness
Back in the day, we made music the hard way – with real instruments. Then, along came this incredibly promising device – the personal computer. But making a song out of beeps is, well, not terribly exciting. We made songs like this, for games that looked about as sophisticated (the end “music” starts around 1:28 …

200 Pitches From Atlanta Startups
Enjoy this tag cloud, created from 200 random startup pitches submitted for StartupLounge and/or AngelLounge. These were all pitches submitted in the past few years.

Wrapping it up …
Been meaning to post this for a few weeks now, but … eight months ago, Mitch Free over at MFG.com asked me to come in and help him re-organize his technology team. I joined as a contractor and served in a leadership capacity as we ramped up *many* new hires and evolved the software development …

As a more “official” announcement (I suppose), I have joined the MFG.com …
Movin’ on …
The rumor mill in the Atlanta technology community has been working overtime. I think there were people who knew I was going to do this before I did. Well, here is the official announcement, I guess. After three years of blood, sweat, and tears at StarPound, I’ve decided that it’s time to move on. We …
WikiLeaks: Epic Fail
I normally don’t talk about politics or current events on this blog, or anywhere else for that matter. But today, I am making an exception, and I’d like to offer my views on the whole WikiLeaks saga. I have no idea why. I agree, in principle, with Matt Ingram’s view that new media entities should …
Mission Accomplished!
I will try to do a more detailed, thoughtful post on this subject as soon as I can, but I wanted to at least provide a quick update for everyone on the result of the Atlanta startup community’s efforts to help the Roberts’ family. Thanks to participation from all of you, we were able to …
