WatchCongrats to my good buddy Henrik Werdelin on his recent marriage. His wife played this at the wedding for him (she made it), which basically makes him the luckiest man on the earth to have a wife as cool as this. Congrats Henrik!

Thoughts On Email...
I met a great company today in the email space and couldn’t help but think to myself how much the larger web-mail properties could use some of the thinking and solid things that many of these emerging players are creating.

WatchBeen following Blaise Agüera y Arcas since 2006 when Microsoft’s acquired Seadragon. Talk about M&A to acquire talent - it’s amazing to see where he has taken Microsoft’s new AR mapping tool. Very very cool stuff and huge implications for the education/research market.

Are you building for Google or Facebook? →
