Life on the fast lane, that’s how we used to describe people who lived a life of sex, drugs and rock’n roll. It had usually to do with social ignorance and there was always a certain amount of alcohol, cigarettes or other drugs involved. Life on the fast lane meant a candle that burns brighter and for less long, to pull a nice Bladerunner quote.
Today, life on the fast lane means something slightly different. At least for the geeky crowds I sometimes exchange myself with. Some live a life so fast, or on a lane so far out, I don’t even get any life sign from them in several weeks. Like last week, when I completed a demo for soil / seed / plant, a new project I had started to work on several weeks ago. It’s basically a concept to improve collaboration and help sorting our thought process out.
I sent it out to my closest friends and the brightest minds I personally know in the blogosphere. But until today, nobody has replied. I know I shouldn’t put that on the content of my email, or the ideas proposed in the demo. It’s just an idea after all. The reality is, most of the people I know and sometimes work with don’t have the time to look into everything they get. Talk about Merlin Mann’s Inbox Zero.
Another project I’m working on is notepin. I can’t disclose too much about these two projects, but if they come along like I envisioned them, they will both bring something new to the Web 2.0 universe. So stay tuned for my life on the fast lane, and if you do, I promise I will be a good boy with updating you with what’s going on.
