Check out the new promo video Kent, our Design Director, created for Eyejot.
We spent this past Saturday manning an Eyejot booth at Fort Lewis' Armed Forces Day family event. I've never been to a miltary event before, so it was pretty crazy for me seeing all of the guns and tanks and other miltary equipment, but it was a great event and it was awesome seeing how excited everyone was to send a video message to their family members overseas. Unfortunately, it started pouring down rain in the afternoon, so we had to shutdown early, but we gave everyone free Eyejot Pro accounts, so they'll be able to keep in touch on their own.
From a tech side, it was a fun project, as I used Apollo to build the recorder application that we ran. We didn't have any internet connectivity there, but we were able to record and store all of the video and metadata on the local file system, and then ran a process to upload everything when we got back to Seattle. I was really happy about how easy it was to do all of that, and that I was able to use all of my existing Flex code. Yay Adobe!
I did a video interview with Tim Reha of Venture All-Stars, a well-known face in the Seattle startup world, the other day. It was super-casual, and turned out great.
I used to be nervous about interviews and speaking in front of groups, but now I sometimes get a little too relaxed :)
I like to critique them high-school public speaking class style afterwards: "Wake up, Sit up straight, Speak up, Annunciate,.. No 'umms', 'and stuff', or 'you knows', ..."
I think I'm getting better though!
DEMO was a smashing success! The six minutes on stage went great, and it was a lot of fun manning the booth, hanging out till the wee hours each night, and watching everyone use the system. In fact, right after the first pavillion session, I grabbed my laptop, fired up eclipse and flex builder, and started making tweaks based on watching everyone's experience.
David has been posting links to some of our press coverage over on Eyejots. You can also watch our demo by clicking here.
We have a new blog for Eyejot over at blog.eyejot.com.
Today's post is a set of links to some pre-launch media coverage we've received, including a nice piece (with a screenshot!) in the Wall Street Journal. I haven't gotten a chance to grab a physical WSJ yet to see it in print, but that's very exciting!
We are in Palm Desert for DEMO right now. Our presentation is at 9:29am tomorrow morning, and I'll be sure to post a link to the video once it is up.
One week till DEMO, and the launch of Eyejot! We got our business cards today, check it out...
Today's the day I get to announce that my new company is launching at DEMO 07, in Palm Desert at the end of this month.
If you've been paying attention, you'd know that I launched MyPW at the last DEMO conference in September. Although things didn't exactly pan out well with that, it was a great experience, and I'm excited to be going back.
My colleague (who will be doing most of the talking) has also done DEMO before, so we both know what works and what doesn't, and I think it's going to be a great launch. We've also got PR help this time, so hopefully we'll be able to relax and enjoy the experience, show off our work to the world, and meet some great people.
One of the rules of DEMO is that you aren't allowed to reveal any details of your product until the conference. However, we'll be opening up some more beta accounts in the next week or two, so if you want to give it a try, leave a comment. You'll need a web cam...
