When trying to come up with the next big idea on the Internet you have to keep in touch with anything new on the web. I have been going to www.mashable.com every day for about a year, it is a great resource for articles about the web 2.0 revolution and web startup companies.
I have never been short on big ideas, but I always fall short on EXECUTION. True story, I had an idea about creating an e-card in which you could send to friends and family and let them sign almost 18 months ago. I knew it was huge because I couldn't find any other website that did the same thing. Long story short, I waited to late to execute the idea and a company called www.groupcard.com beat me to the punch. Don't get me wrong you don't have to be the first to market all the time but it sure does help.
I guess you win some and you loose some. If you think you have a BIG IDEA go after it and make sure you EXECUTE and bring it to market. I decided to write this entry after I learned on mashable that GroupCard was chosen as one of the 5 companies that received a 225k grant from Facebook from it's FBFund which looks for great apps that make the world more social. (man I knew that was a huge idea).

Welcome
I would like to welcome everyone to my blog to document my attempt to take over a small corner of the internet. You may ask how does one take over a small corner of the internet? In my case through software, I own a small software consulting company with a few million dollar ideas.
I officially broke the silence of a 8 month old project (WeLoveYouBlanket) by applying to be a 'Tech Showoff' company for Twiistup 5 in LA. The project consists of collaboration software that helps family and friends build a family heirloom for newborns and toddlers. We are set to launch Feb 2009, more to come, as this week applicants could possible know if you are picked as a 'Tech Showoff'.
Other happenings this week, trying to secure another possible .NET contract, finishing up a project for Glory Foods, preparing for a big meeting with a possible manufacturer for the blanket/quilt project, wrapping up a subcontract project that I was helping my brother out with, lastly helping out with the business plan of yet another potential million dollar idea (more to come).
Sounds crazy, it is or at least maybe I am. Stay plugged in for updates as my quest to take over a corner of the internet continues......
