Real Artists Ship

I am a phony.

Was reading over the Google Wave developer’s guide today. It occurs to me that the Inkboard software I had a hand in building so long ago, and have now (unfortunately) abandoned, would be a perfect candidate for a Wave application.

Before I started reading over the Wave documents I was playing with the Raphael vector graphics library and building some graph layout prototypes. A Javascript and canvas-based graph editing system would be extremely useful for my current work project.

But…blah. I have massive inability to commit. How do you say “damn it, I’m going to do this” and make it stick? I’ve been trying to decide based on how cool I think something would be, but that doesn’t seem to be working.
