Wesabe

My friend Marc Hedlund's startup Wesabe launched today. It's a web-based social light-weight financial management system. I had a chance to preview it before they launched, and I was very impressed with everything they've done. They've really thought through things, including having a very funny panic button for when things become overwhelming (it's pictures of kittens, for those who don't have an account). Marc's a great guy and I hope Wesabe is a huge success.

Monkeyspotting

Two interviews with me have recently been posted.

Spain
I participated in the International Online Journalism Seminar in Vilanova, outside of Barcelona, on October 26th. The night before, Feedburner co-founder Steve Olechowski and I were part of the inaugural Feeds & Beers en Barcelona gathering. The video is here. Yo had es muy fun at both events.

37 Signals Fireside Chat
Just posted is part 1 of a chat I had with the 37 Signals guys and Marc Hedlund, co-founder of Wesabe. Again, it was a lot of fun. But no Spanish was spoken at this one.

Update: Part 2 has now been posted.
Update 2: And now Part 3 has been posted.


Monkey!
And finally, and completely unrelated, a picture taken on Halloween of one of the monkeys of Gibraltar. For those that don't know, there are about 250 monkeys that inhabit the rock of Gibraltar. Inhabit isn't quite the right word; it's more like they rule the rock. They're very tame (but will bite) and will attempt to steal any food you may have brought with you. Definitely a unique and recommended experience.
