Word on the Street is a web widget that will automagically recognize the user’s current location and display elected Congressional officials for that region (within the US).

We’ve finally released the eagerly awaited Mac OS X version of FileRide and it’s pretty sweet. Get your copy from www.fileride.com. Haven’t got an invitation code? Just use the code “cristal” and you’re good to go! FileRide Mac is tested to run on Leopard and has the same rich feature set as the Windows version except for the integrated YouTube and LastFM players which will be added shortly. We’re now finalizing and testing the iPhone and Web versions and will update you as soon as they become available!

Now things are really starting to take off with FileRide, the project I've been working on in relative secrecy for the past year. Registration for the private beta test is now open, and we've included some information for potential investorsinformation for potential investors as well. I'll include more information as soon as I can!
Thanks to the support of the good folks over at A World Beneath and the hard work of Sandra Myhrberg and myself, last night's opening party for Surface to Air's book "Flip the Script" was a great success. The exhibition at the Urban Outfitters Stockholm store located in the magnificent former Roda Kvarn Cinema will be open until February 2008.
