SocialRoots: Taking Names

filed under Social Roots · 1 comment in the original

I’m here at JFK waiting for the 7:55AM flight to Boston. Why, you might ask? Apparently, my flight left at 6:30 not 6:45 as I entered into my cell phone. I haven’t slept since 10AM (yesterday). I’m tired as all hell, but that’s not really on the agenda for today.

As soon as I get off the plane, I have to find my way over to Podcamp for the next two days. Here’s how that day is going to look: staffing the SocialRoots “boothlet” for the entire day (more on that in the next post) then drinking and mingling with the locals from 5PM onwards. At some point during the day I have to find a hotel and make my way there so I can collapse.

I should be trying to take a nap, but I’m pre-occupied with the new design and beta sign-up screen I just put up on the site. I truly hate these screens, but we’re behind schedule with development and didn’t want to rush things so we’re doing the oh-so-annoying e-mail collection thing for the next week or so until we start adding folks into the mix. I’ll be showing people what’s in store, to a limited extent, throughout the next couple of days. Looking forward to getting more feedback. Did I mention I still have to find a hotel? Oh yeah, maybe.

If you’re interested in learning more - well, that’s coming in a few days once we add some more content pages to the site.
