Site Build It

I was looking for making a website for my wife's clinic and stumbled upon something very interesting: SBI. These guys seem make it really easy to setup a good website and take away all the technical pain of running a small business website (hosting, dns registration, stats, search engine submissions, easy design and editing etc. etc...).

But what impressed me was that they have tools and information on what needs to happen *before* u choose your niche.

Innovation

It is a very common thing in everyday conversation to attribute success or failure of tech companies to "ability to innovate". Scott Berkun takes a direct shot at this "easy reasoning" with a good article : 'Good' Beats 'Innovative' Nearly Every Time

E-Toys

Was directed to Alan Kay's work from some blog/book and that eventually led me to squeak and E-Toys. It is a great piece of software - both from the vision and implementation angles. You owe it to yourself to try it out for your kids/for the kid in yourself :)

It may take a little while at first, but once you have figured out a basic example, rest all flows with very little additional effort - an important sign of a of a well designed product/framework.
