Amid all the iPhone stuff, Apple came out with a new product called iLaunch. The Onion has the late breaking news at Apple Unveils New Product-Unveiling Product. (Thanks Dave.) Yes – I have my iPhone. No – it doesn’t work. iTunes 7.3 on my Vista machine doesn’t seem to have the iPhone software working correctly (it keeps giving me an install error.) I’ve now done the uninstall / reinstall iTunes drill – let’s see if that helps.

Well – I couldn’t help myself. I’m sure this has made the rounds already and I missed it in all the hype, but this video basically sums it up. This is the best product launch I have ever seen in my 41 years on this planet. Just unreal. Thanks Kimbal for the link.

We are moving our offices to Boulder. As of Monday, our new address will be: 1050 Walnut Street Suite 210 Boulder, CO 80302 Due to the miracle of modern technology, all of our telephone numbers will remain the same. My office has been in Superior, CO since 2000. We’ve enjoyed being above a liquor store and a pizza joint for seven years. While I’ve gotten tired of telling people that “Superior is basically Boulder”, I figured out that it wasn’t really helpful to say “Boulder is superior.”

It’s the end of the quarter again – do you know where your VP of Sales is? I bet he’s standing in line in front of an Apple Store waiting for his new iPhone. Amy got so tired of the iPhone noise that she went to Paris (maybe she thinks the lines are shorter there.) You could just follow along from home and read Scoble’s Palo Alto line experience. Or you could just wait in a virtual line with Fred and get an unlocked iPhone.

There are two opposite approaches in the world that most software companies take when talking about future products. 1. Say nothing until the day of the release and 2. Talk regularly about your roadmap. There used to be a third – “announcing a product but then not shipping it for a while” (anyone remember vaporware?) – but that’s faded into the background for the most part at this point (and is distinctly different than #2.)

Boulder is one of the most athletic cities in the world. Even though I’m a marathoner and can do +/– 2,000 feet on a two hour run, I’m way down low on the fitness ladder here. The range of sports people play are wildly diverse, including stuff like “I ran up a 14,000’ mountain and back with one arm tied behind my back and all the toes on my left foot taped together while wearing sandals and a bike helmet.” So – it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone living here that we have excellent shuffleboard facilities in Boulder.

Amy and I watched The Matrix Reloaded this weekend. What a great movie. I love The Keymaker (along with the The Merovingian and The Architect). I commented to Amy this morning that she was an extraordinary list maker (she is truly the best maker of lists I have ever encountered) and we’ve decided that if Matrix Redux (aka Matrix IV) ever comes out, she’s going to apply for the part of The Listmaker.

With this post, we continue the “Feld Job Board.” If you are a god-like software architect that isn’t intimidated by the notion of making a real-time system work across 10,000 distributed servers, this might be for you. Location doesn’t matter, but we are going to do our best to relocate you to Boulder, CO. If you’ve been following along at home, you know that I’m very excited about a company in Boulder called Me.dium that I’m involved in.

You find ads for RSS feeds and podcasts in the most interesting places. Today, it’s the Wall Street Journal Online. I wonder how many commodities traders woke up this morning and said “yeah – I need to get news, commentary, and special offers via RSS.”
