My name is Jim Murphy. I'm a software entrepreneur living in Elora, Ontario near Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I studied at the University of Waterloo, have spent my career at early stage software companies in Boston, California and Texas before recently returning to Waterloo a couple years ago. I have been lucky to try my hand at many different roles: software developer, evangelist, sales, business development, author, speaker, product manager, market strategist.
Just another day at the office. Out for lunch, walking to Mai-Thai if memory serves and what would you guess we see coming down King street in Waterloo? The Google Steetview Car. I’m sure plenty of folks were wondering what the heck this contraption was but not the dev team at PostRank, no sirree. We new our moment of geek glory was upon us. Even the Canadian paper of record shared in our gloriousity.
Is your dev team immortalized on streetview? I think not!

Your faces are blurred out “The Ring” style…. Google making aesthetic judgements or lamely attempting privacy?
Actually, the funny thing is that our dev team IS immortalized on Google Street View! We were out for a beer at lunch on a patio when the car drove past. A few months later, when Street View launched for this area, there we were.
