I've been working on Obliviana for well over a decade. And for the past few years, I have had a target time for Obliviana to become a real, profitable company: Summer 1999. And that's in an hour-and-a-half. Two weeks ago, I complete Aerie Obliviana Version Two. And I knew that my ad in Wired Magazine would be out in a few days. I was pretty happy. Then the magazine came out, and the days passed and I didn't see any increase in hits. In fact, I think that besides me going to check the counter, on most of the days lately there haven't been any hits at all. Once I finished Aerie v1, I had Aerie v2 as my goal. When I finished Aerie v2 two weeks ago, I didn't have such a specific goal. So the past week-and-a-half or so have been pretty depressing. Four days before the launch of Aerie v2, on June 3, I did something--I "chorded" two Storms and went on a Stormjaunt. The results were very encouraging. Yesterday, I did my fifth "chorded" Stormjaunt, and I also made the first piece of Stormjaunt Scrip. It was an awesome journey. I know all these terms I'm using are probably alien to you, but they are incredible significant to me. In short, I have direction again. "Chorded" Stormjaunts and Scrip... and Jots and Fonosta Device... I have direction again. You know, I've been seeking after the "right idea" for Obliviana for a long, long time. I'm pretty sure I have it now. It'll be Summer 1999 in less than an hour, but I have the idea. A specific idea. And the Summer will last three months. I don't think it will be possible to make Obliviana a progitable company within three months, but I do think I'll be able to construct a solid foundation on which Obliviana will be built. And now, I can say with great enthusiasm, GET ALL OBLIVIANA!!!!! ------------------- SONG OF THE WEEK ----------- Chemical Brothers, "Music:Response" (Album: "Surrender") ------------------- END ----------- -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
