Standpoint, if you please

So I tend to keep my cards fairly close to my hand when it comes to the entrepreneurial projects I'm involved in. Part of entrepreneurship is being willing to deal with constant change -- to be able to learn from your mistakes, and your successes, and to iterate rapidly. That means that many projects I take on get stalled, adapted, or abandoned. I've learned as a consequence to keep my mouth shut until I can speak with confidence about 'what will be'. And I'm happy to say that I've got such confidence about Standpoint. What is Standpoint? It's a collaborative encyclopedia of opinion, and a platform for much more. We plan to go live in a few days, barring any unforeseen technical difficulties, at which point my obscure definition might make more sense. Until then, here's a link to the home page, where you can sign up for a notification email which we'll send as soon as we're 'taking orders'. Oh, and by "we" I mean to say "Justin and I." Justin has been working his booty off on this (God loves a man who loves AJAX). And if you've seen Justin you know how dangerously little booty he has to start with. That's commitment, folks, plain and simple. Till soon...
