Singer Phil Collins said his life now revolves around the Alamo.

Collins is in town, set to appear at local events commemorating the anniversary of the siege and battle of the Alamo. Though he’s mulling the idea of recording a tribute cover album of 1960s songs, he said he’s making the Alamo “my main thing” as a collector, history buff and possible author.

I sent out some invites to this thing. Hope you’ll give it a try. Like we’ve been discussing on the blog here for a couple of years, this remote computing concept will be the future of computing. This is a taste of it.

The benefit is that a group can work on spreadsheets together at the same time like we’ve done with Google Docs, we can share MP3s and photos like we’ve done with ftp programs only this should be much easier. We can share a calendar like we’ve tried – but this may work because it does all those things only from a single interface. You’ll have to try it to see how it works and we’re still figuring it out but I think it might be really good. If nothing else I promise you’ll get some great MP3s out of it.
