The road ahead, vast and untraveled.

This blog is the story of a couple friends with a little inspiration, a lot of enthusiasm, and probably a pinch of insanity. We now live in an era of unparalleled technological advancements. We've spent our youths marveling at the things man has built, and dreaming of the things yet unbuilt.

And so begins our enterprise, to build a few of the yet unbuilt things.

We're insane enough to launch a startup, despite the fact that we don't have MBA's or any experience running a company. But why let that stop us? There comes a time when you're coding your ten thousandth marketing approved web page, and you realize that you're not going to gain fulfillment working at a corporate dinosaur.

So, a little about our venture. We want to write cool applications for mobile devices. There are currently an estimated 3.3 billion cell phones in the world. The cell phone is the most ubiquitous personal computing device in existence. That's a huge market, and we want it to be our playground.

There have been a number of obstacles for the mobile applications: variations in device capabilities, carriers locking out functionality, a lack of standardization, etc. The promise for mobile computing is great, but getting there isn't as easy as it could be, especially for a small time player.

Enter Android, the OHA's platform for mobile devices. The promise of Android is to break down these boundaries. A standard platform, an open platform, where every application on the device is replaceable.

We have two projects underway, the first is for the Android Developer Challenge, and with the deadline just weeks away, every scrap of my free time is dedicated to getting Geomata ready for public scrutiny.

Our other project is SocialTones, which we're very excited about. SocialTones is an idea that Alexander Muse cooked up while skiing in Colorado. We loved the idea and formed a partnership with his company, Architel. It's now being actively developed, and we intend to enter it into the Android Developer Challenge II, after a few actual android devices hit the market.

It's going to be a mad, busy, coffee fueled year, and I'll do my best to post here at least once a week. Many decisions lie ahead, and I'm looking forward to finding out just how far this road can take us.
