You may have noticed that Neil hasn’t posted on the blog in a little while. That’s because he’s been down in Argentina for the last week working with our developers on the Rogomo website. While we still can’t say a whole lot about the product — we should be filing our patent applications soon, and can reveal all then — Neil tells me that things are going very well. We’re on target with the original development timeline, and we hope to have a beta up and running in early September.

What’s amazing about this process is that it really did not feel during the last week that Neil was halfway around the world. We’ve used Apple’s iChat quite a bit, and have been able to communicate just as easily as if he were here in the States. Even better, Neil set up his Mac during a presentation yesterday by our lead developer, turned on iChat, and I was able to watch the entire presentation from my living room in New York (and even ask questions).

The world truly is getting smaller, and it’s really exciting.
