Future gazing from a quiet corner of cyberspace.

I met a very interesting person yesterday. I guy from the US, pitching his web based applications to small business. If they can crack a few market places then they will have a very strong product. It will be apathy and resistance to change that will be their biggest enemy.

Work wouldn’t be so hard if actually felt that I wasn’t doing what I believe in alone. But all I can think of are the possibilities that we can achieve. I want to be able to get a message from someone anywhere I am. I want any interface that I use to tell me that there is a message from someone that I care about waiting for me.

These are the thoughts that screw with my head. And yet I find myself fighting to get a person officially authorised to talk to me about a small part of the implementation of the idea. I need a believer. I need an evangelist. I don?t know if I can be that evangelist. Too much doubt.

I have been thinking, as well, about fear and what it prevents me from doing. On one hand I am in a good position to be able to present my message. I think that I am just afraid that no one will agree.

I guess all that I have to do is think back to every other idea that I have had, that I have been quiet about and then seen someone else carry out successfully. There is no point having the ideas if I can only keep them to myself. I think that if I can write and write and write, like a room full of monkeys the result will appear before me. But first I need to write.

I want to write about ?the value of data?, the ?amazing power of email and why it?s existence is threatened by Spam?.

Maybe the next action that I take will be about Spam. The value of data is not my problem anymore. God, how I wish it was. I just want the ideas to be set free?
