A new way to handle information overload

A couple weeks ago I launched notify.me. Our focus is to keep people up to date with information they care about. One way we do that is allow users to add feeds (rss/atom news feeds) to the service. We monitor the feed and when it changes we push a notification to the user destination of choice.

This becomes very useful when trying to deal with time critical issues. For instance, trying to find high demand items, like concert tickets on craigslist, or searching for a new job on SimpleHired, or staying up to date on your fantasy football team. In all of these examples, you'd want to be alerted and be able to respond first, before anyone else. Notifications can be delivered to a number of destinations from mobile phone to instant messenger, email, desktop application or browser.

True leadership and courage

Many people might have forgotten all about this but I find it very insightful of kind of president Obama will be.

Back last year in July Obama made a declaration that if he had actionable intelligence on high value targets inside Pakistan and the Musharraf government was not willing to act he would. Immediately all the other presidential contenders jumped on him calling for a retraction. They said this exemplifies his novice understanding of the world. Watch this clip from an early debate



And now fast forward 8 months and see what just happened in Pakistan.

Holy #@$&. Barrack was dead on. Took heat from McSame and every democratic contendar and stuck to his guns. Why.... why would he not just day 8 months ago he made a mistake when everyone was telling him he did? Because he was right. Simple as that my friends. The guy nailed it and I quote from wapo:

Having requested the Pakistani government's official permission for such strikes on previous occasions, only to be put off or turned down, this time the U.S. spy agency did not seek approval. The government of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf was notified only as the operation was underway, according to the officials, who insisted on anonymity because of diplomatic sensitivities.

That is impressive, nothing else to say. The man will make a great president.

December pictures up and Mom but to the test

For the past 3 months my Mom has been nagging me to keep up my pictures. Every time she calls I hear about it, but I've been a busy father as of late for we just had our new kid little more than a month ago. Time has come to catch up and I will post a new month of pictures every couple days right after my Mom reads the new Obama article I post. And this is why...

Last weekend my parents were down to watch Michael play basket ball and when we went to lunch she said something semi disturbing to me. We talked about politics and she said that she feels that Obama does not relate to her and that is why she can't support him. After talking for a while it was clear she just does not know the person and has been reading the Orange County Register (far worse than Fox News IMHO) too much. So I've taken it upon myself to introduce what I think is the highlights of his campaign.

Here is December pics stay tuned to my first Obama post later today.

Happy Birthday Ben!
