Given that the problem of Discovery and Distribution of applications (with the iPhone) is resolved - how do companies attain mindshare, and brand-awareness on this distribution platform?

My Neighbor Judy posted this short little video of the Forest Fire burning on the hill right behind us.

This puts some perspective on how close this was!.

Fire is almost out, certainly under control and the teams are in the mop up stage.

Four little monsters getting a good talking to by parents, police and Deputy Fire Commander

IMG_2000.JPGIt’s 2pm in the afternoon .. and it sounds like some olde war movie.

IMG_2099.JPG

There are like five helos flying overhead. Step outside .. and folks are running around like mad. The hillside behind our place is on fire, water bombers have been called in. Prepare to leave.

This does not work for me — six weeks into new job and real busy.  Have 1:1 with new boss in like 45 mins.  But you know — it does not look too good at the outset.

.. 4pm .. kids admit to accidentally starting the forest fire with fireworks. Kids are charged with Criminal Arson, and Mischief.

.. as we head off to bed, the fire is still burning — we await either sunrise or a knock on the door.

Kids!

It’s been less that a year since I blogged about Buzz Out Loud’s Loss (CNET), and Mahalo’s gain. Now big Jason must be driving up and down 101 in a loaner Tesla looking for someone more awesome than Veronica as she heads out the door.

Word has it she may be heading to Rev3 .. but I am hoping we will see her on Network Television. She is now accustom to the daily grind of production and ready for the big leagues.

Wherever you land Veronica — your fans will no doubt be there to cheer you on as you work you next riff.

Updated 8 April - Veronica is heading to Revision as the new host of TekZilla, sourced from her blog.
