About Me : I'm a grownup nerd living in the Boston burbs. I write computer programs for a living and plays for fun. I'm married to a wonderful woman, and we share a nice little house with our daughter and our cats. I'm a humanist, a technologist, an artist, and an idealist. I believe in reason, freedom, love, equality, and democracy. (Did I mention that I'm an idealist? I did, OK.) I'm also a pragmatist and an empiricist. I reject ideology and dogma, especially when they conflict with practical facts (i.e., pretty much always). I particularly hate willful ignorance, which tends to go hand-in-hand with ideology and dogma.
Like the alignment of the planets, this blog gets updated as I have the time, inspiration, and inclination to do so.

Convoq ASAP is Shipping!

Convoq ASAP is making its big public debut tomorrow at the Demo Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona! We've put a lot of work into this product, and I think it shows.

Convoq ASAP is a unique fusion of instant messaging, Web conferencing and collaboration. It ties together all your IM channels (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, etc.) and lets you pull your contacts together into ad-hoc meetings combining text chat with video conferencing, document viewing, and screen sharing, all through a Web browser.

Unlike other Web conference systems, Convoq ASAP doesn't require meeting participants to download any software; since it uses Flash, the necessary software is already on most people's PCs.

I'm very proud of Convoq ASAP, and if it sounds like something you can use, please check it out!

See the CNET News article about the DEMO conference.
