My Inflection Point

Let’s get nerdy for a second. Just one second. As Wikipedia would have it:

In differential calculus, an inflection point, or point of inflection (or inflexion) is a point on a curve at which the curvature changes sign. The curve changes from being concave upwards (positive curvature) to concave downwards (negative curvature), or vice versa. If one imagines driving a vehicle along the curve, it is a point at which the steering-wheel is momentarily “straight”, being turned from left to right or vice versa.

My steering wheel is turning, for darn sure. I have recently left the wonderful company for which I have been working, Allurent, to start my own business. It’s an exciting change and one that I didn’t quite see coming until it had almost occurred by itself. This was a decision that felt like it happened to me, not a decision that I consciously made. I have an idea that I am absolutely passionate about, and must work on, as disruptive as the consequences may be. It’s as simple as that.

I will be talking much more about my company — called Noteflight — quite soon. Noteflight is an online platform for creating, sharing, viewing and hearing music. It’s a serious application, aimed at people who perform, compose, study, teach or collect musical content. Expect some very substantial posts from me in the next month or two.

I am also working with the crack Boston development shop Infrared5. To say these are smart folks is a huge understatement; go take a look at their site, their team and their achievements. Besides being smart, they’re also really nice folks, and I’m very pumped about the work we’ll do together, and are already doing now. Plus… they have some great dogs hanging around the office. I mean, how can you beat that?

Lastly, one more bit o’ news: I’ll be speaking at the Flash on Tap conference in Boston this year. Hope you can come!
