Hardware mashups coming soon

I'm happy to be on vacation this week.

I needed it and it's great to be hanging with my family.

But I missed a dinner last night that I wanted to attend. The dates simply didn't work out.

And that dinner was last night in SF with a group of bloggers that care about consumer products, consumer electronics, personal computing, web services and open source software. Last night Peter told people about his company, Bug Labs which has been in stealth mode for well over a year.

We are investors in the company along with Union Square Ventures and a bunch of super individual investors like our friend Brad Feld.

I wish I was at the dinner. I could talk about Bug Labs all day. And I love seeing other people's creative juices flowing when they first learn about Bug. Dave Winer was there and has two interesting posts here and then a follow up here. Fred has a post as well. I can't wait to see what user will create with Bug. New apps, new services, new communities. Hardware mashups will be possible. But web services is the best and most important part about Bug.

Stay tuned, lots more Bug news coming.
