The progress we made with NYX this week I felt was rather good. I really enjoy working with this particular team - we all seem to get a long and have fun while simultaneously accomplishing our work in a timely fashion.
We conducted our second board meeting this past Thursday with all of our board members in attendance. I would first like to say that Casey did a fabulous job of organizing and hosting the meeting. In our very first board of advisers meeting we made some good progress with respect to developing the prototype; however, several of our advisers left our first meeting unclear as to exactly what our short-term and long-term objectives were.
In our second meeting we really made an effort to get our board members connected by giving a quick tutorial on Blogger (that way they can comment and stay up-to-date with how things are progressing). Additionally we clarified some of our objectives and what we expected from our board of advisors. Overall it was a great getting everyone on the same page moving towards our goal of getting our first prototype made.
In addition to having a productive week with our advisory board, we also made some great headway with our prototype (check out the pictures here). It's been a slow process, but with the help of Erin and Barb (one of our advisors), we have started to experiment with our first "Ghetto Mash-up". Casey has been doing a marvelous job of organizing and putting together our prototype.
Finally, as a team we had our weekly meeting on Friday and managed to accomplish our Key Strategic Resources, our Key Partners, and our key tasks that need to be accomplished over the next six months. Overall we had a highly productive week. Hopefully the momentum we made this week will carry into the next week.

I agree! We had a very productive week. Our board meeting was good to get everything on the same page. Setting the expectations of the advisors made it more clear and I hope helped them understand what we need from them.
