Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately. Flipboard has been keeping me a little busy. I'll try to work something out here soon, but in the meantime, you might want to say hello on Twitter, browse through a few photos here or peek into what it is like designing Flipboard.

geoTracker wins interaction 2003 contest

wow, I was more than stoked this morning to hear that geoTracker had just won the interaction 2003 contest held at ericd.net. Having such tough contenders like Grant Skinner's gModeler, I never thought that I ever had a chance to make it to the top 5... but instead of that, it went on with the first place! Well, thank you everyone for all the support, and do keep an eye on the blog for the next version, which as soon as I get all the gear up and running, should turn to be a live global warchalking application ... and much more! btw, if there's anyone out there with the gear ready (you'll basically need a GPS and a WiFi card) and would like to sign up for the beta testing, please leave your address in the comments down here.
