If God took me in my sleep tonight I'd die a very lucky man. Why's that? Well, I've had a chance to witness the development of a product that will change the world.

And it ain't Steve Jobs' new iMac.

I really have been far more of an observer than a participant. I didn't code a single line. I didn't really help build the feature set. But, I'm a lucky man, and soon you will be too.

Why do I think UserLand's new product is a product that'll change the world?

Easy, it's already changed mine.

You might think that's just some bullshit from another sleazy marketing droid. Hey, even I admit I'm not Steve Jobs and can't get you to pay attention the way he can when he just puts a flat-panel screen on a new computer or puts computers in colored cases. I wish I had that kind of magic.

No, instead, over the next few weeks I hope to show you how Radio UserLand will change the world and will let you write on the Web faster and easier.

I've watched a lot of software being built from afar. I've been beta testing for Adobe and Microsoft for more than a decade now. But next to ICQ, and Outlook, now the app that I spent the most time in is Radio UserLand.

Working with this team is quite an honor, let me tell you. It's the only thing that's kept me sane over the past few months (and there's been quite a bit of insane stuff in my life lately).

I'm staring at the user interface and saying "damn, this is a work of art."

See, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs might get all the headlines this week. But soon you're gonna discover what really changed in Silicon Valley recently and that's no bullshit. If I died tonight, it'd be with a smile on my face. Thanks Dave and team!
