Startup.com - week 1

(Okay, I realize that this is actually week 2, but hey, better late than never right?)

The building is classic dot-com era architecture - old brick, exposed beams and ductwork - the works. I'm pretty sure it used to be a brewery or bottling company of some sort - there are enormous side-sliding metal doors dotting the place with faded stenciling that suggests as much. Context Optional takes up exactly three desks in a corner. Wow.

The first week was great! (Hey, my boss reads this.) There's a lot of uncertaintly, but we keep finding obvious bits we can tear off and and complete, thereby shortening the list of depserately needed features/bugs/plans. Or if not shortening it, then at least making room for all the new 'must-do' items. I realize I'm being a bit vague about what I'm doing exactly - blah blah "stealth" mode blah blah. More detail soon, I promise. The short version is:

• Radio DJs suck.
• Spoken content can add a lot of value to a music stream or playlist if it's the right content.
• People have metric tons of interesting content we want to share with the world.

So, we're developing a platform to let people do exactly that. Watch this space.
