Online Wine Cellar Management

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

We are hard at work building out Vinecat, an online wine cellar manager. Our goal was to allow anyone to have easy access to their wine cellar no matter where they were. However, we might have set our sights a little too low.

Leave it to the French to kick it up a notch. Why stop at cellar data? It looks like they have figured out a way to give you access to your actual wine. Anytime… Anyplace… All that you need is WIFI and an open USB port.

….Now my humping dog USB key is officially lame.

Life conspires to beat the rebel out of you.

Life conspires to beat the rebel out of you.

I didn’t say it. I’m not even sure Alex Bogusky said it, but I read it and the guy from Fast Company quoted him saying as saying it. The etymology of the phrase doesn’t matter. Call Alex Bogusky what you want “Jesus… Pansy… Visionary… Plagerer… ” It doesn’t matter.

Bogusky’s words make sense. I read this quote last night on a flight back to Nimbletoad South. Point is rebellion only sells so much as it succeeds. Those that succeed cease to be rebels. Those that fail… fail. But is it failure? History is written by the winners.

Tonight I’d like to pour one out for the fallen rebels. Those that gave their souls in the pursuit of making a difference. Tonight I would also like to reaffirm nimbletoad promise that functionality will once again come first.
