You might wonder: what the hell happened?

Didn’t ambadoo just go live? Yes, we did do a soft-launch. And we might hold the record of being fastest to remove an app from App Store, voluntarily.

The background of the sudden silence from us after the release for the past few weeks is that not much has actually happened on either the app, or the development in general.

We’re in the middle of a thought process of whom to carry on with the project. There so many thoughts right now but nothing that’s easy to write about. They might better fit in a book of how to do, or rather not to do a startup.

So, things are happening – just not so much talkable things right now. We do work on things, and we will be back live, in one way or another.

To The Crazy Ones

Came across this text last night for some obscure reason when I was searching for manifesto’s and I got shivers. It’s not so much a manifesto as it is a statement of who we are, the crazy ones. It’s beautiful, shockingly actual, today, and in fact every day, every year, always.

Here’s to the crazy ones

The misfits.
The nerds.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.

They are not fond of rules,
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glory or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can
change the world, are the ones who do.

Think differently.
