You recall the Spanish company, Geeksphone, made headlines a few months ago when they announced they were making Firefox OS phones for developers.

Today they sold out of their first batch. The store was overwhelmed with orders that they had to take it down for a while.

People were wondering if the world needed yet another mobile OS. Looks like there is some demand out there. You need to remember this is a small sampling, and these are early adopters. This doesn’t quite paint a glorious future for the operating system, but it’s a positive start.

Hi. You found me. This isn’t my first blog. I’ve had a few. One was a hipster blog, another was a political blog, and another was a weird mix of who knows what. None of those blogs are available to the public anymore, so I’m starting over. This time I’m going to try and have a focus, well, a few foci. And hopefully I will know a thing or two about them. Here’s what I plan to blog about, when I can actually find time to do it:

• Mobile development
• Education
• Cloud storage
• Apple

That final point, Apple. Yeah, the world’s most-valuable company seems to be popular on the interwebs these days. Dude, I’ve been a fanboy since the early 90’s, so check yourself before you wreck yourself already. I would have been a fanboy sooner, but I was busy in the 80’s dinking around with our Amiga 1000.

Oh, and those other three points. I’ve been doing mobile development since last decade. I work for Instructure. I used to work for Mozy.

Here’s where I make promises about how I am going to write on this blog all the time. This post will also be followed by a second post three months later with an apology of failure and a renewal of my pledge. Thanks for reading!

Here’s something for you while you anxiously await my next post.
