Today the startup I work for officially launched at TechCrunch50. If you want, you can check out our CEO’s presentation here. It’s not long, and god damn it, this site is pretty cool.
This ends months of secrecy and intrigue and marks the beginning of a new era of secrecy and intrigue. Sign up for super-exclusive private beta here.
The party continues tomorrow, as clicker looks like it has a decent chance at winning this thing.

Earlier in the week I was having a discussion about this exceptionally unexceptional name of mine. There were anecdotes about the other Daniel Cohen I went to camp with, and the Daniel Cohens I went to Emerson with, but in the end my friend Jessica, who likes to turn everything into a competition, shocked us all by turning it into a competition.
As one of many, many Dan Cohens, I am immune to being googled, but not Wolfram Alpha’d:
Smackdown.
Combined with the stats on Cohen (surname), there are very probably 75 people alive today in the United States named after or before me, and that number seems a little low. Thankfully, my parents blessed me with a weird and wonderful middle name: Oets.
Googling “Oets” nets you the subtle suggestion that you’ve made a typo attempting to spell “poets,” and after that you’re wading into my family lineage. Uncle Oets is there, and the great grandfather I’m named after. Meanwhile, Wolfram Alpha says:
Damn that feels good.

Frank Lloyd Wright makes a lot of sense to kick off the series, but I’m hoping Gehry is next in line. Imagine a thousand of those pegged little rectangles attacking the curves of Fred & Ginger. Anyway, these are the first 2 of 6 planned FLW buildings. Want.

Love it, then love the British TV series it’s based on, then get a job at ABC, find the pilot for Mitch Hurwitz’ American adaptation in the basement and love that too.
