The Next Level: Musedot 0.5

I am music.

I am rock and roll.

I am a descendant of a long, long line of musicians. That ancestral line stretches back hundreds of years and now, I hope, projects forward into modernity. Sound self-congratulatory enough? I’m in a bit of a self-congratulatory mood, despite my near exhaustion.

It’s out! The alpha version of musedot is now online and I’m actually feeling more relieved than anything. It was a tremendous amount of hard work (thus my long absence from this blog), more than I expected, but the results also exceeded my expectations- at least so far. For example, I just thought of and implemented the video feature last week, and it’s actually useful.

My self-congratulatory statements aside, what musedot is really all about is empowering musicians and fans through this newfangled web 2.0 technology. Empowering all of us to connect in a simple, but powerful, way. I’m hoping that this release is a critical step forward in what will be a very long and ultimately successful journey.

Here goes nothing.
