With all the server issues behind my back, I decided to spice up Gizmoojo.com with a little small update. If anyone is curious why we had this release as 0.5, its because this is ver0.5 of Gizmoojo software. You see, I have tagging my development code with release version so that I can easily know what version of code is where and what is fix and what is added to the version of software Gizmoojo runs on, and when we had our first public beta, it was release 0.3. So I thought, why not include the release version on the mainpage and shortly also a link to the release notes (software engineering stuff – basically a table of what is fix, new features,etc)
With this release, I’ve changed the site mainpage a little to just always show the Portable Audio Players + a random selected department. Bare in mind this is no way how the mainpage will be, I’m sure it will be evolving as we move along and feedbacks from users. So get out there and write your very own Gizmoojo page now.
We have our front page all nailed up
June 18, 2006 at 9:17 pm | In Web 2.0, beta test, gizmoojo, startup | 1 CommentWe love our new front page, it's has all the web 2.0 elements that make a site web 2.0-ish – things like curve corners, beta logo, silk icons, cool gradients. So I thought, lets share it with the world, how about a sneak peak at what the beta launch front page will look like!
Hot from the oven, but not half-baked 
Money from Angels
April 18, 2006 at 8:41 pm | In angel investors, funding, gizmoojo, startup | 1 CommentI was scouting around the www for people that had talked about their personal experiences with trying to secure money for their startups from prospective angel investors. And maybe its just that I did not look hard enough but I did not find anything really helpful and out of the blue, had recalled that I read a few blog posts from the people at meebo (Seth) on how they secured their Series A funding and so I revisited those blog posts and really, these three postings provide good and relevant insights to the world of Series A funding. If you know of any relevant blogs, I would love to hear from you!
Blogs that talked about Series A / Angel Investors tips, advise, experiences.
Meebo: funding part one, part two, part three
Guy Kawasaki: The Art of Raising Angel Capital
And as I come across more, I will update the list. Back to coding like crazy!
Gizmoojo! The preview.
April 10, 2006 at 10:55 am | In beta test, gizmoojo, startup, web2.0 | Leave a CommentAs I push forward to get Gizmoojo! into beta release stage, I hope to share some sneak preview of what the beta release will be like. So here's some preview pics of the beta site and thanks to Flickr, I have added notes to certain features and ideas that I'm working out now.
Stats and Speculations
March 4, 2006 at 7:18 am | In beta test, gizmoojo, startup, web2.0 | Leave a CommentHmm.. The past 48 hours has been pretty fun. First of all, it was fun to put up the beta signup page for Gizmoojo. Second of all, Gizmoojo has been receiving better than expect response since the beta signup has been put out. If you have signed up for the beta, thank you. I hope to achieve more in the coming weeks for sharing what Gizmoojo is all about. I have thought about it and I think a preview page would be just great to gather ideas and comments. But for now, enjoy this compliments of Flickr!
Something interesting is that I’m getting traffic from Om Malik’s blog gigaom.com and so I decide to check out what’s going on and to my suprise, the traffic came from his post on News Corp’s news about them buying a small web 2.0 company and someone commented Gizmoojo.com. There’s traffic coming from Techcrunch too from one of the comments posted to Mike’s blog about Fox’s acquisition. Interesting speculations

What is Gizmoojo?
February 16, 2006 at 8:11 pm | In gizmoojo, startup | Leave a Commenti have been putting a lot of thoughts into how i wanted to start the groundwork Gizmoojo and really i am now pretty much stuck with 2 choices:
1) doing it by myself and
or
2) put the idea out and gather more feedbacks and perhaps a few other developers would like to work or contribute for honor and glory in the “we made it because of you” page or even possible equity at a later stage.
and i’m really leaning towards #2. well, the reason being gizmoojo is all about the community, and making the development effort around the community seems right to me.
Hello Gizmoojo!
February 10, 2006 at 3:38 pm | In gizmoojo, startup | Leave a Commentok, i finally got gizmoojo online for now with a very basic landing page, no signups, no ajax, no web 2.0. but no worries, we will have a much cooler signup page in a week or so.
and maybe it will meet michael arrington’s expectation. hey, to know that you are doing good, just make sure that your signup page beats edgeio’s page, since its michael arrington’s startup.
