Not too long ago, Brendan Lee over at Ribbit got a hold of me to work with them to showcase their technology. We bounced around a bunch of different ideas, that we really liked, but it was a conversation I had with Gil Gershoni of the creative agency Gershoni where we came to the idea you see at sayhear.org. We both loved the idea of using Ribbit’s telephony technology to give a voice to the voter and create an open sounding board for people to put in their two cents on this election. What you see at sayhear.org is the culmination of real cooperative work between Gershoni, myself and Ribbit. This was not a top-down production but rather a equal collaboration between all partners. I really do believe it is that relationship which allowed us to launch the site that is up today.

I just got back from my vacation from Boston and it was a blast. I have a lot of energy that I would like to devote into writing as well as finishing up some projects which are 95% complete and just need a little extra love to get out the door. I (theoretically) will have more free time on my hands – so if I actually use that time well, I could get these projects out in the near future.
Vacations are always great to pull your head out of the fog and look at what is going on around you with a bit more clarity. With some of that free time, I put a lot of thought into what I have been up to for the past couple years and what I want to be up to in the next couple years to come. I have realized that a lot of changes probably should occur. I have a fairly strong feeling that I will be spending less of my free time working in Processing and Flash and more so in Django, jQuery and AIR.
Lastly, I am deeply interested in finding some folks interested in general collaboration. I have worked in a very solitary manner for the past 3 or 4 years now and I think the benefits which I felt it has brought me no longer apply. While I am interested in spending more time in the technologies I mentioned above, I am just eager to work together with some smart folks on some good ideas. Drop me a line if you’re interested.
