Hello, my name is Mike Gowen.

Brain Crack Rehab

Hi, my name is Mike and I’m an addict. I’m addicted to brain crack. In fact, I’ve been accumulating quite a large stash in the form of a Google Document titled “Ideas”. But sadly, I hit rock bottom last week. This came in the form of watching one of my favorite brain crack “rocks” melt away before my eyes.

Last week Match.com launched a new feature called MatchMyFriends. It allows people to create profiles for their friends and find dates for them. After all, who knows you better than your best friend? What a great twist on a tired industry in need of a bit of innovation. Wish I had thought of it! Well…actually…I did. I’ve been sitting on that very idea for quite some time, and now I’ve missed the boat. For those of you that have been in this situation, you know how horrible it feels. This is not the first time this has happened, and its time to do something about it.

So in light of this wake-up call, I’ve decided that 2008 will be the year that I kick the habit and start making these ideas reality. As such I’ve already kicked off my next project, and am very excited about it. It feels great to finally get moving, and I look forward to revealing more in the coming weeks.
