[...] quick post about what I’ve released so far this week. I got started on this 30 in 30 project on the 17th. As I said in my original post, I’m already behind because I’m [...]

@Issac – Thanks, an no offense taken! I know what you mean. And I can’t take credit for the idea about flushing out old ideas to let in new ones… I read that somewhere. Might have been GTD.

Hot damn that’s rad. Most inspiring thing of my day. (…Well, today was sort of a vacuum; Not to be an jerk or anything.)

I especially liked your point that keeping too many old ideas can keep new ideas from growing. I need to put this into play with my design/web work. Whatever the outcome, it’s a great goal. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the support guys.

@Eric – One release is a brand new web app for a client but I’m hesitant to publish a link to it here as it is a “b2b” type of app and isn’t for general consumption. Plus the client hasn’t granted bragging rights yet. That shipped Tuesday and I’ll probably write it up on the blog tomorrow, possibly with a screen shot. The app that rolls out tonight is for the same client and is a new feature set for an existing Windows app. Not really much to see there. I have some more publicly visible projects in the pipe so I’m hoping this will be more interesting over time.

Cool, this is exciting! You never know – you might get a few really good projects out of this. I did something similar a few months ago and challenged myself to code and launch a website over a weekend. I’ve had much more positive feedback and visitors to this site than almost any other of my projects. On one hand, it’s a bit disheartening when I’m struggling to get just a trickle of traffic to sites that I have put much more effort into, but I think there’s a lesson in there somewhere.

Where can we see the releases?

Wow! That’s ambitious. I’m looking forward to following along. Good luck!
