How do I get in contact with you? Your personal site is down. I'm also in NYC, btw.

Hmm, were you looking at http://rwds.co ? Looks like it's been restored if it was down before. (Random downtime is unfortunately somewhat typical for the MediaTemple server it's hosted on)
You can reach me at ron@ above mentioned .co domain. Sorry for being cryptic, the spammers who scrape HN tend to be gmail filter-resistant..
- Pets on-demand. Want a puppy for a half hour?
- Shovel out my car. A little too seasonal however.
- Serious one: Healthcare and on-demand tech is going to be huge, particularly for geriatrics, but regulation is probably going to make it slow-going. There are a few players in this space but it needs an explosion of adoption. Boomers are aging and there are going to be a lot of immobile old people out there.
Tangential sidebar - if anyone here is working on a business in this space, reach out to me.
A great engineer and myself are exploring specializing in "Uber for X" infrastructure - either consulting services or developing reusable software packages around it and we'd love to talk to you.
