Remember this post were I said someone should start a "Baby Loves Disco" style business in Austin? Well, it looks like someone is, albeit with a much more Austin slant. Austin Rock N Romp kicks off July 29th.

Tonight, the Bob Bullock Museum features a free concert by Flaco Jimenez and a free preview of their It STILL Ain't Braggin' If It's True exhibit. At the Lone Star Plaza, which I assume is the space in front of the museum. Via Upcoming.org.

Cork'd

So last night in the shower my thoughts turned to business ideas (fun, fun!). I played my current favorite game: "Apply Flickr's business & software model to other industries" (This is, after all, what my Dressr project is.) I started with the question "what activities are inherently social" and came up with the obvious: eating and drinking. That led to wine and recipes... and two new business ideas, one a collaborative, community site for organizing your wine and another one, more wiki-like for collecting and sharing recipes.

I start scanning my normal blogs this morning, and I discover a link to Cork'd via Signal vs. Noise. It's a fabulous Ruby on Rails apps for organizing and sharing your wine. Wonderful!
