Howdy all!

First off, are you an iPhone junky?  If not, you probably will be soon… if not this generation then the next one (I really think the app store, plus GPS is going to prove the new social app platform once we can write deamons.)  I gotta tell you, as a die-hard PC person, I switched to a mapbook pro about a year ago and am really impressed and pleased with it (although Entourage still bugs me some days.)  So do you relate to any of this?  Or maybe you’re just “apple-curious”?  Well, good news: Wade Shearer has started the Utah Apple Users Group!  I’m not sure how exactly you pronounce UAUG… I would guess sort of like the guy in the rabbit cave from Monty Python’s Holy Grail:   The group of AAaaaaaauuuuug

In other news: We have done several video podcasts which have been posted and transcribed here.  We have a few more recorded and in the works.  Look to see those online soon, and we will be following up with a mothly newsletter linking to posts about up-and-coming businesses locally.

That leads us into another exciting point I want to announce here.  I had discussions with Brock Blake from Funding Universe regarding their Speed Pitching events.  For those that haven’t already seen me gush about these events, they basically allow a local entrepreneur a chance to connect with local investors.  Well, I will be working with Brock to look at all of the ideas each month, and to choose a few of the most exciting to review here.  We will also be sending out an email newsletter with links to each of the reviews.  So want to know what cool new companies are starting, and ideas are being funded here?  Sign up for the newsletter to stay informed!
