Dear readers,ThoughtFix is now ThoughtFix LLC.
That's right - I am now a real company. My commitment to writing, helping others, sharing knowledge, and promoting this platform justifies the need to turn this into a small business with all the responsibilities (and eventual rewards) thereof.
I want to thank other mobile tech bloggers for inspiring and readers for encouraging me to keep writing. A special thanks to all the PR reps for answering so many Emails on products. I've come this far and will continue to grow. I want this to include informal gatherings, user conference calls (with Skype,) more conferences, and maybe one day some international travel.
In the near future, I will be soliciting sponsors and advertisers to help pay normal business operation costs. Even if I still have no sponsors, the blogging will continue. I will try to keep advertising to a minimum but my current ad method is not exactly paying the expenses. If I can get a sponsor willing to entertain the idea, I may slip a bit of advertising into some of my videos but in no other event will the content of an article be interrupted by ads. No pop-ups. Nothing to ever install. NEVER spam. Just a guy trying to run a business in blogging. I still have a PayPal donate button over to the right, but have yet to receive a donation. That's OK with me - the information I provide should be free.
The Internet started as a military backup communication line but then rapidly was adopted by scientists and researchers to create a hub of shared ideas. The 90's and early 2000s took the Internet into a massive commercial endeavor run by advertising, commerce, and entertainment. In the last couple years, Web 2.0 driven "user created content" sites took back some of that hive mind Internet. My ideal 21st century will have a massive collection of wisdom at the fingertips and instant communication of ideas on a global scale in pockets worldwide. I hope others share this dream. I will keep writing to evangelize this platform and related technology until that happens and beyond. That is the mission of ThoughtFix LLC.
And to you, the reader of this: Thank you again.

Keep up the great work.
Yes, I believe "woo!" fits here. =)
And the philosophy you lay out here should be the premise of the interwebz. Information and communication foremost and always. Not quizzes and comments (though I am guilty of the occasional quiz on LiveJournal, heh...
Best of luck on finding sponsors.
After reading your blog and watching your YouTube videos, I decided to buy a Nokia N800. I am looking forward to your comparison of the Nokia Navigation Kit and Maemo Mapping.
Keep up he good work.
I wish you all the best!
I also decided to buy an N800 after watching all your YouTube videos and reading this blog. Nokia should be giving you free stuff!!!
It should be here on Wed. I am very excited.
