kidnomi

Meant as a way to spark the imagination of our children, kidnomi has become the ultimate side project for parents and kids of all ages. At kidnomi, all things digital are taught, explored and experienced in a way that’s not only entertaining, but talks to kids on their level. (Think Steven Spielberg shooting adults in E.T. from the knees up.) We intend to bring kids’ love of computers, digital media (music, photos, video) and video games into one universe designed to foster the imagination, ensure safe participation and enable the next generation of technology-makers to soar.

The story and pre-dev continue to move forward, which also happens to be code speak for spending time with our kids. We’re not sure were this one ends (or goes), but the journey for kidnomi has become a labor of love. Stay tuned.

min.fm

Sometimes we create things just to see if we can… That’s how min.fm came to be — an easy way to shrink URLs. Our tagline (fit to post) describes the new 140 character world we live in and our excitement for what’s happening in social media. If you feel the same, shrink away!

We’ll also be crowdsourcing ideas for where to take min.fm. We’re noodling features that transform the service into a data aggregator across social media (think me by the minute) and/or de-complicate the whole affiliate grassroots movement.

What would you like to see min.fm become?

NurseNeed

A Fred Squared Production, NurseNeed is our foray into the massive (and rapidly growing) healthcare market. Specifically, we’re building a technology-based company to support one of our nation’s most valued, and soon to be scarce, natural resources — our nurses.

The full concept is under-wraps until we complete the prototype, but a few hints include a GDS-like booking engine, SaaS transactions and a talent agency all combined into one. The opportunity is to converge and automate RN/CN placement services, home care and the aging of America into a consumer-friendly package that honors nurses while ensuring open shifts are covered for those of us in need.

Update: Fred Squared included NurseNeed in our merger with TechDrawl. It’s now part of our startup incubator at TD51.
