Skribit

The last few weeks of working on Skribit have been proved to be rewarding. It’s finally gotten to a point where it’s noticeable that we are making some progress with product development. This past Friday I pushed live the new redesign of Skribit.com. A few weeks ago we hired graphic designer Justin Ruckman to pump out some mockups for the next iteration of the Skribit website design. Justin was already [click to continue…]

Startup Goals for 2009

January 23, 2009 · 39 comments

Not too long ago Calvin pushed out the suggestion for this post to the Atlanta Startups group on Skribit. I figured I would tackle this post now that it is still early in the year. Unfortunately, you probably already know what I’m going to say. I think every startup’s primary goal for 2009 is survival. The economy sucks and we’re reminded of that almost every day. Microsoft just laid off 5,000 employees and they are definitely not alone. [click to continue…]

As a follow-up to my post detailing my first week of full-time work at Skribit, this post will talk about my adaptation to the working from home lifestyle as well as how work is going. I have slowly gotten into a work routine and generally start work around 8 or 9am until around 5pm, when I take a few hours off and then do an hour or two of work in the wee hours.

I’m sorry to disappoint – this post has nothing to do with the Apple keynote at Macworld 2009, iTunes going completely DRM-free, the new 17-inch MacBook Pro with an 8 hour battery life, or a myriad of CES coverage. Instead, this post is about my first day of full-time work at Skribit, a startup helping bloggers cure writer’s block (among other things) that I have been working on for the last year alongside Co-Founder Calvin Yu (whose full-time gig was featured on AJC.com today).

I was going to title this post “Atlanta Startup Weekend 2 Brings New Skribit Feature” but then I went through my Skribit account and saw that there are a lot of suggestions asking me Skribit-related questions, so I’ll devote this post to it. First, Atlanta Startup Weekend 2 went down this weekend at Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center, where I also happen to spend some of my time [click to continue…]

Startup Riot Recap

May 20, 2008

Startup Riot 2008, painstakingly organized by Sanjay Parekh, went down yesterday and I must say this was the first big tech event in Atlanta that I have been to or heard about.

The Perils of the Anonymous User

March 25, 2008

While I’m not quite sure that’s the most fitting title, I’ve recently been thinking about online anonymity in regards to web applications. In this time of social networks, social media, OpenSocial and what not, I find it a bit annoying that so many people go about using these social tools as anonymous users

Thoughts on Startups

February 26, 2008

One of my secret passions in recent years has been learning about startups – how they run, what they need, how they reach their audience, the value-prop they offer and so on. Some people have a thing for GTD but I have a crush on startups. Why do I love them so?

Skribit is a web application sprouting from my idea along with many talented co-founders at Startup Weekend Atlanta. First off, I’ll tell you what it isn’t.
