MetaLab Design finished skinning Fellowstream this week. Although Jacob still has his work cut out ahead of him to finish Fellowstream functionality (say that three times fast!), I thought I’d give you guys a quick sneak peak at our first look ‘n’ feel of the tool. For those of you new to our site, Fellowstream […]
Entrepreneurs with a vision fear that someone, somewhere, somehow will capitalize on their idea. How many times have you had a “great idea,” only to see that someone else has already launched that product or service? In the last four months since Jacob and I began fleshing out Fellowstream, we have seen company after company […]
My last post was an observation on the absence of “teams” in popular definitions of project management. But it’s not just that the term itself is missing essential elements. I’m beginning to believe that “project management” is a term as broad as “general population.” Here’s what I mean. Drinking coffee the other day, I ran […]

I’m not too proud to admit that I still have a Hotmail account. Back in 2002, it was my primary e-mail account, but now I use it to sign up for random sites that I don’t quite trust. Perhaps due to the way I give it out like candy, that Hotmail account got hacked yesterday. […]
While outlining Fellowstream’s “min spec” (i.e. the most barebones version of Fellowstream we were willing to create for launch), we asked a lot of people who have worked on teams what they want most in a project management tool. Features like calendars showed up, which fit our expectations, but almost just as often, people asked […]
Jacob and I love video games and got into a lively discussion about our favorite types of games. This eventually led us into an argument about the “good” and “bad” games out there on the market. Not surprisingly, there are games that I like (Animal Crossing) that Jacob would never touch with a ten-foot pole, […]
When Jacob and I first brainstormed what Fellowstream should look like several months ago, we started the old fashioned way – by sitting down at a table, sketching on blank pieces of paper, and arguing until 1 in the morning. The word “intuitive” came up several times, almost like a mantra. “It’s gotta be intuitive…People […]
Welcome to Fellowstream, Avalon Lab’s online collaboration tool. Like many projects we hope to help on the site, Fellowstream was born out of a real-world pain point. Up until last November, Jacob and I (founders of Avalon Labs) worked on a website aimed at selling the Torque game engine. The Torque team has a diverse […]
