A Letter to Terrell Owens
I enjoy sports but have decided not to talk about them in this forum. Instead I am trying out WordPress for a sports related weblog at Armchair Athletes. If you are an armchair athlete yourself feel free to check it out... the first post is an irresistable letter to TO.
p.s. WordPress is *super* easy to set up!

Brilliant!!
Here is a new business plan:
1) Write some software
2) Build a web site
3) Win an award
4) Sell on eBay
This is exactly what jux2 (a metasearch engine) did and now BrilliantLabs is for sale.
I was fascinated watching the sale of jux2.com on ebay a couple weeks ago. In typical ebay fashion the price shot up from ~$40K to $100+K in the waning minutes of the auction.
The sale of BrilliantLabs (photo management software) is interesting as well, but will likely be valued far below $100,000. While the metasearch market is somewhat crowded, the market for photo-management software has already been largely commoditized with free applications like Picassa and Picaboo, as well as others.
The current bid is ~$1000. I doubt it breaks the $20,000 mark but it will likely provide a nice Christmas bonus for the seller.
p.s. The current high bidder (eugenebelyaev) could be this Eugene Belyaev. I wonder if Jetbrains is wanting to delve deeper into the consumer software market?

Spot the Bug
This from a webMethods press release a little while back:
"Working with webMethods Glue, developers can easily create SOAP interfaces for their existing Java and other applications. webMethods Glue supports the latest Web services standards, including SOAP 1.2, WS-I and WS-Security, as well as JAX-RPC and JAZ-M, and offers..."
JAZ-M?? Is that when Glue starts hosting a Saxaphone service? ;)
