My goal with this blog

I write about relevant changes in the way that people use the web and how startups are built to provide services and products for this ever changing wonderful thing we still know as "the web." As a former entrepreneur turned early-stage investor, my greatest hope is for this to be useful to other folks that are like me in the hopes that they can avoid some of the mistakes I've made.

The smartphone *is* the new personal computer

I am happy to see Joe Hewitt writing positively about the hardware improvements in the new iPhone because this is a guy that has been there since the very beginning. His iUI framework make stuff happen on the webapp-only iPhone and his subsequent Facebook native app taught us that we didn't have to settle for UITextField as the only way to enter text on our devices.

So when he says that the "S" should stand for "smooth" I feel like we ought to chalk one up for the Internet— as we've come to know it and love it with all of its AJAX goodness— as it gets ready to come to our mobile devices. The future is not, as Tomi Ahonen likes to write, one of the "legacy Internet" and the "mobile Internet," but one where the same experience you get on your laptop gets translated into a truly mobile one thanks to Moore's law and the magic of the free market working its way through the smartphone battle of the 2000s.

Amen to that!
