[arg_discuss] intros and channels

[Colin McNee]

Hi Mark, Welcome 
I'm sitting here in the middle of Mongolia with TWO macs. Long story. About a third of Peace Corps Mongolia Volunteers have macs and the other 2/3 have virus riddled boat anchors because we're wedged between the two greatest malware exporters on the globe.

 I was also really excited about the iFund because aspects of the project I'm developing are location aware. I'm also hoping Apple gets a real haptic interface on these things (and the tablet which I firmly believe is in the works will also have a haptic interface). For god's sake my clunky Nokia phone has a haptic interface and it's 3 years old. As wonderful as these products are, it's still just touch input, not an interface. 
SPIN Research Group

As long as we're on the topic of funding, I thought I'd share this:

TechStars » Details

It seems like a great program, I'm applying this year (deadline: 3/31) although I doubt I'll get accepted because I haven't finished building my team. (Writers? Coders? anyone with any experience in the ARG business? Drop me a line off list and we'll chat.) I'm going to do this again next year and  I hope to use iFund as a follow-on. 

Za, Bayarstee.
Colin
