New adventure

After thinking about doing something exciting e.g. building a web 2.0 style site that one day could become "the next best thing" :-) for a while with my colleagues, we've finally decided to go ahead with one idea. We would go ahead and build it, test if it will work or not, etc. No VC, no big expenses, no day job quitting, etc. The only thing we've decided to do is to register an LLC., get a cheap web hosting (for now), then "hack" the application and put it out there. The only investment would be our spare time and some money for expenses like registering a company and web hosting.

I'm excited about it for several reasons, because:
a) it's something different from doing my day to day job (working for "uncle Sam")
b) we will be building it with Grails!
c) Grails community is great!
d) and if we're lucky, we could "make some money" somehow ;-)

If anyone reading this could give a word of advice about decent/modern Java web hosting solution, that would be appreciated.

We will be registering a domain name for our LLC., putting "the new project" blog there, and will be doing updates about our "new adventure" in that blog.

Stay tuned...
