It’s been a significant length of time since I last posted, and I’ve been feeling really bad about that. I’ve become so bogged down lately, I barely have time to breathe, but I figured what readers I have deserve at least a moment of my time.

TipDish has been consuming the majority of my free time. We’ve just deployed an alpha pre-alpha version. Things are starting to come together and that’s a refreshing turn of events. For those who’ve missed my previous posts, TipDish is the startup that was founded at this year’s Startup Weekend Houston. The purpose of TipDish is to connect bloggers and other social media authors with latest ‘dish’ from PR and marketing firms. The service is free for ‘dishers’ to join, but comes at a cost to ‘tippers’, the PR and marketing firms. While it’s chief purpose is to provide a service to these firms, we believe there’s great value in it for the bloggers and social media others who choose to list with us. They’ll have access to up-to-the-minute news in the industries they choose and have interest in. Additionally, all communication will take place through our site, which means there will be no spam and individuals can opt out at any time from receiving future ‘tips’. Alot of the founders of TipDish are bloggers, as well, and we want to ensure that their interests will be served at every turn.

Anyways, I’ve got some things I’ve been itching to write about. Developing TipDish has expanded my knowledge of Rails in leaps and bounds. So, the moment I get a chance, I’ll be posting some of those learning experiences here. For the moment, though, my time is up.
