Today I had a day date with a web entrepreneur, and, a few weeks ago, I tooled around town with yet another one. 

It seems left and right of me in this town folks are launching starter budget web projects, all of which have (or are in fact yielding) great returns on the efforts going into them.  You'd think being exposed to all this that I'd get off my duff and really try to develop and market something myself rather than simply "lop them out" like I do.  Fact is, however, while I do enjoy innovating and coding - I'm not much a business man or, really, much of a social manager.  You have to be somewhat focused and organized to make things work, and, you have to be willing to interact with and trust others.  I'm sure my penchant for developing in quiet desperation is the same reason I'll never be a filmmaker, either, much as I'd love to become one.  Ah, dreamin'.

So, that I prefer to build and launch at prototype scale via my Dave the Web Guy persona, is reflective of my desire to keep things, however limiting it may ultimately be for me, within my direct control.  Saving for larks and the like, I'm pretty sure I'm never going to cash in with a dot com of my own. 

Fortunately my web entrepreneur friends are more well-rounded and get along nicely and productively with others. 

My buddette Rachel launched TypecastAudiobooks.com.

Tonight I just got word that my Tampa friend Rachel launched TypecastAudioBooks.com.  It's pretty straightforward in what it is - literally a place to purchase and download audiobooks for playback in an MP3 player.  I encourage you to check it out and, maybe, if you help make her and her legions of artists any degree of success, I'll somehow be inspired to put more into my own stuff.  Go there!
