What can a group of guys-and one girl-do in a weekend? Well, this weekend
Sean Tierney, Brent Spore, Justin Crossman, Sunny Thaper, Jose Diaz, Curtis Miller, Brian Roy, Remi Taylor, Patrick Harter, Jim Barrows, Heather Herr, and I came together to create a new company called Reserve Chute.

We all have made investments into online services, in terms of time and data. We have placed our trust in these companies to handle our information but sometimes things go wrong. What if your gmail account got hacked? What if twitter shuts down? Basecamp? Delicious?

Wouldn’t it be nice to know your data is safe? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you had control of that data? Reserve Chute makes that happen.

This is one cool and innovative service that should be on your “Must Have” list. Your data on your terms for when Web 2.0 becomes Web 2 point Oh no! What more could you ask for. For more information, visit www.reservechute.com and sign-up for this unique and powerful service offering.

What is PFC?

Simple enough: Coffee on Friday in Phoenix.

Phoenix Friday Coffee is one of the weekly gatherings that is responsible for dragging Sharon & I out into the geeky-tech world of Phoenix. It’s always good to get out of the house/office, and meeting new people isn’t nearly as bad as it’s made out to be, but lately there seems to be some grumbling about location.

Since the point of PFC appears to be getting together after work on Friday, and most of the regulars work in Tempe (and several of them at the same place), having coffee somewhere close by makes a lot of sense.

Another draw is the eventual move from coffee to dinner, art walks, movies, or beers; considering options for the after coffee activities should play a role in deciding where to meet up. This process usually happens in reverse; though, with the answer to “What’s next?” revolving around “What’s close.”

Where is PFC?

Right now, the location seems to be decided by community discussion on twitter. Not really a vote, but not an arbitrary decision by a single person either. There’s a map, that someone made a homepage around (see the link at the top of the page) that shows (usually) the next, last, and other recent locations.

What’s the problem?

I’m not quite sure. People being to busy/lazy/cheap to drive out and have a good time? That’s what the comments are for.
