Get ready for news!

by on September 11, 2007

Yesterday Rocky and I headed over to Mike Arrington’s house.

If we could schedule this I wouldn’t have brought a baby into the world in the next two weeks. Not that we knew this two-week period was going to be the heaviest news cycle of the year nine months ago (or that we could control when Milan decided he wanted to arrive. :-) ).

Damn, there’s a LOT of news that’s going to be flowing next week. 40 companies at TechCrunch 40 are launching. Then another 60 or so coming at Demo, a week later.

One of those companies just was here. Very cool.

If the other 100 are as cool as the one I just saw, you are in for a real treat the next few weeks. I have NO idea how we’ll all keep up.

Definitely be watching TechMeme every day, though. Arrington told me a little bit about what’s coming and even the big companies are launching stuff. All the PR guns are going to be firing and that means a LOT of news.

Me? We’re shipping something a little different. Maybe we’ll drop by TechCrunch 40 and show it off. :-)

    My wife got our little gift 3 1/2 months ago. You've been through it before, but all this techo-news will seem small once your new baby arrives.

    Hey, can you send me your address, I'd like to send Milan a gift - herschel.horton@gmail.com or leave a comment somewhere on my site.
  • There will always be new companies launching, new people to meet, etc. As you know there will only be one birth of your child. When you look back you probably won't remember you missed those events but if you miss the birth of your child you will always feel a loss and if you dare forget, Maryam will be there to constantly remind you. :-)

    Trust me...when you are 70 you don't want to still be hearing the 'well you missed the birth of your child' comeback to any argument you get into. :-)
  • Patrick Scoble
    I wouldn't suppose you'd be showing me off? Ugh
  • Your kid will be around much longer than the startups being launched in the next few weeks.
  • Patrick your dad shows you off all the time, like it or not. Heavens, I can't think of another blogger I read whose children are known to me at all. We ALL know Patrick! :)
  • Yeah, Patrick. I brag about you all the time. Heck, I saw you on the Today show the other day. How did you get there?

    Congrats on getting an A on your math test.
  • best wishes
  • That is the good thing about the blogosphere today versus say 4 years ago.
