Gaboogie - conference call podcasting

Yesterday was a bit crazy, we saw some great posts from some great technologists on the net but I think the way the day ended (and the way the next day started) was the topper.

A while back I podcasted the Future of IM with Chris Pirillo. About a week ago I pinged Chris to let him know about Gaboogie and last night I circled back to let him know the service was live. Chris is a very spontaneous guy and I should have known what would come next.

Chris Pirillo - Live Online 

What ensued was a 1.5 hr conference call with Chris leading on his Live Tech broadcast. Gaboogie called Chris and brought him into the call. Chris then opened up the lines and several of his listeners dropped into the Gaboogie call soon after. Several hundred combined minutes later we had over an hour and a half of great conversation about live podcasting, community and the human association with real time open conversation.

Here is the podcast:

PS: Thanks also to Bear for his insightful feedback.

It's really great when you can come to work feeling good about what you are doing but to have your peers tell you that you are doing a brilliant job and to be recognized by respected media, plus have customers come a calling on your second day of business is even better.

Conference Calling. Updated and LIVE!
L to R, Craig, Erik, Russ, Steve, Dan
(Mike was at pre-natal classes)

Thanks to everyone who participated for making our launch a great success! This is only the beginning and we are already looking forward to the years of fun ahead.

It's coming down to the wire at Gaboogie, and guess what? We're all edgy, bitchy, and itching to get this product launched:

Listen to the temperature rising…

Little by little we went insane. He's our very own Colonel Kurtz.
 

 These Brits have no stamina. Poor show.

Like these two know what they're doing…

The final hours…

I don't know how I get myself into these situations. And what I really don't know is how Susie and I found each other. Two start-up businesses, two type-A personalities, two terrible procrastinators, when it comes to anything practical… like packing, organizing, administrating. We're leaving for Vancouver in about 10 hours, and our home still looks like this:

This is what happens when you marry an enabler... 

 But all of that said, I couldn't be happier to be leaving Calgary for the Gaboogie Dungeon. If this is what it takes to stand the conference calling industry on its head, then I'm up for it.

If only Dan would move his head.

OK, so this post is a little self-indulgent, but we're genuinely excited about how close we're getting. Here's Erik and I reviewing the GUI and getting to see the app really come to life.

If only you could see behind the iChat window 

So close, it hurts. Now if only Randy would get himself that MacBook Pro he keeps talking about, Erik and I wouldn't be the only ones with embarrassing pictures for all the world to see. I really need a haircut.

Bad desktop hygiene = good progress.

Not having had time to clean up my desktop must mean that we're making progress, right guys? Let's just say this is the opposite of a good user experience.

Dan's desktop after some (very) long hours... 

I can still see Susie's glass of champagne, though, which must be a good sign.

Update, March 30th. Things are now officially out of control.

It's alive, I tell you 

 It's taking over my life.

Coding on a sunny Sunday mornin

You know you are dedicated to your craft and a true geek when you voluntarily tuck yourself away in a dark basement coding on a sunny Sunday morning. Don't try this at home kids!

Mike, he is far too happy for a Sunday. Dan, coding like a mad man! 

Mike and Dan, blasting rails. Mike is also our resident DJ. Dan does this meditative thing that helps him find his center. Whatever it is I'm not complaining, he can churn out the rails code like no one else I have ever seen.
