Google WAVE Developer Preview at Google i/o 2009

May 30, 2009

The ability for Google to reach Critical Mass is amazing. They can go from zero to critical mass in just a 2 hour presentation of a developer only release of a new product. I’m watching the presentation right now, and it integrates the common sense functionality of what we all do every day but in [...]

Shipping Tycoon – an iPhone Application with TWO purposes.

May 29, 2009

As an MBA student, and a person who is constantly looking to solve problems, I loved being in an MIS class recently because of the assignment. Although I did the presentation on the fly because I wanted to try my hand at a TED style presentation, I thought it just went okay. Perhaps a bit [...]

Eucalyptus – The Library, to go.

May 29, 2009

Okay, so, Eucalyptus [AppStore] is a reader by “Things Made Out Of Other Things” [James Montgomerie] and sells for $9.99 in the App Store. It is the first reader that I know of that was banned initially from the AppStore because you could potentially download adult material. Everyone is using the Kama Sutra as an [...]

No Color Kindle for years?

May 29, 2009

It is being reported all over the internet right now that Bezos said that a color version of the Kindle won’t hit the market for years. It was apparently said during a shareholder meeting. *I* think that it is pretty devastating to consumers of ebooks and ebook technology to hear something like that. The newspaper [...]

BrowseRight.com – a Social Network Powered Search Engine

May 24, 2009

This is another project that I’ve had sitting on a sub-domain. I keep fiddling with it, but haven’t reached a point that makes it truly functional. Sure, it grabs search results from Yahoo, but then you’d be able to go to Yahoo for that… now wouldn’t you? Domain: www.BrowseRight.com

HyperAd – a new way to advertise.

May 24, 2009

HyperAd.com is a domain I’ve had for a few years. I’ve been working off and on to bring a new style of advertising to the market, but I am not a programmer of any merit. I know the basics of HTML, and I know the methodology that allows me to direct programmers to reach a [...]

Google Patent Search – Endless Fun…

May 24, 2009

With over 7 million patents to search through, I am constantly amused by the things I find. I won’t even bother posting any because I don’t want to limit your fun. Just go there, and check it out. Google Patents will show a few at the bottom of the search box to get you started.

StaxPC.com – New Computer Concept

May 21, 2009

I had acquired StaxPC.com while I was researching the possibility of creating a new platform for computer modularization. In essence, each part would be a blade, that you stack on top of one another. Each portion locks into the next, and by twisting the feet in a special way, you give different functionality and prioritization. [...]

Another addition to the HATCH brand… HATCHnation.com

May 20, 2009

Since my family is typically 3000 miles away from me on average, I thought it would be fun to create a site. My brother, who is a Professor at the Central Washington University, doesn’t have his own domain name… but I’m trying to get it. He got his Ph.D. in early child development, with a [...]

No Updates lately… just reading and planning.

May 18, 2009

I’m on the last set of classes, then I get my MBA in December. Time flew by so fast last semester, I couldn’t believe it ended. One minute there were 6 weeks left, the next, I was presenting my final paper. That last class was Accounting, and I have to tell those who read this, [...]

Pro Tip: Never Design a Product for a Trend Setting Technology if…

May 8, 2009

1. It causes a persons eyes to remain unfocused for any period of time. 2. It can be described as “Product birthed by Satan himself.” Gizmodo has always been a favorite of mine for my daily dose of snarky commentary. I read about 50 blogs a day to keep abreast of upcoming trends. Without going [...]

Mobble.com – a site for the mobile mob.

May 7, 2009

I’ve had Mobble.com since around Summer of 2005. Not a long time compared to some of my project domains. It has been a site similar to MySpace since I purchased the domain, but the only way to reach critical mass in that sector is to leech material from other sites, like MySpace, YouTube, and others. [...]

StolenOrNot.com – a way to find out if something is stolen.

May 6, 2009

Brevity is key here; Buying stolen property is illegal in and of itself. I purchased StolenOrNot.com to create a social network helping people locate and reacquire their stolen property. Having had hundreds of CD’s stolen from my car [when CD's were popular], I was frustrated with the fact that they were going to be pawned, [...]

New iPhone will have Video capabilities?

May 1, 2009

Well, this is a frustrating turn of events. As a new iPhone 3G purchaser, I’m reading that the WWDC in June will be very interesting. It may be announced that there will be an iPhone 4G with video as easy as the Flip. MacRumors talks about it. Since I’m not deeply entrenched in Apple, I [...]
