All this talk about BIG...

Both Bob and Dan Pritchett keep using the adjective "big." Now I am... well... this cat is worried about what's about to kill him... namely curiousity.

(And I can't even tell you about the big one... yet...)

Okay, you guessed it.

Something "BIG" is in the works. Actually, something REALLY BIG, but it has nothing to do with an IPO or us making more money.

Couple of questions for everyone:

1. It seems its related to something in the public domain or something that will be free for us. Do you think I am reading into this too much?

2. If its not something free or in the public domain... What do you think it is? When do you think its coming?

3. Any hopes or dreams you'd like to relay to Bob and Dan while you are thinking about it?

Here's the links to the quotes if you want to read the adjectives in all their original glory.

Bob Pritchet

PS. Just an aside to Bob and Dan... If you want to say something revelatory here... that would be great.

I am thinking "FREE." Bob and Dan both like to give stuff away.

I am beginning to think that MVP stands for something like Most Vague Post or something along those lines. I cite this as evidence.

In Michigan we have a restaurant called BIG Boy which created the sandwich that the BIG Mac was modeled after. Maybe you guys are onto something... Maybe its downloadable sandwiches or an entire buffet! WOW THIS IS BIG! IS IT LUNCH TIME?

I don't get paid. But you have managed to uncover what only Philip (my friend known as halo hound) so far has noticed. I am the fluffmeister. Just don't tell anyone.

Looking at my post count though, I am hoping to meet a milestone soon. That probably explains some of today's posts. I won't speak for the rest.

Seriously, I come here to help, have a little fun and stay away from controversy. Two out of three ain't bad.

This is probably dreaming too big, but it could be a version of the IOS app that has "near" or "close" feature parity to some of the more advanced desktop items. Althought I am not sure that is doable at this point in tablet computing.

My bet is free resources, something along similar lines to Perseus. It could be Logos 5, but the "bigness" of that isn't guaranteed. Version numbers are kind of arbitrary these days (see: Firefox).

Here's quotes from the P-bros that weren't quoted by Jonathan's first post:

It has to do with spreading the Word of
God and getting even more people engaged with the Word.

This tells me that it's something for the masses. Most likely something to get non-users using Logos.

All content we're paying to create and produce, and selling at very reasonable cost....(And I can't even tell you about the big one... yet...)

This tells me that it's probably something Logos created in-house.

Neither of which would suggest something like the CNTTS apparatus. Rather, it sounds like it's something NEW targeted at people who may be less "engaged with the Word" (assuming Bob's Big Thing is the same thing as Dan's Big Thing). Which suggests that some may disappointed that this Big Thing may not be the Big Thing they wanted.

I agree, I do think it is something mass market. Only a Greek Geek would consider CNTTS BIG. Although, I would LOVE to be shocked and surprised by CNTTS on this one.

My dream is shattered.

Michael, in the words of great american teeangers everywhere, "I feel ya man."

I asked Dan about CNTTS via Twitter just after the Perseus release and his response to me sounded less than optimistic.

I asked, "Any chance you could make Oct. the best Logos month ever by following the Perseus release with a CNTTS release announcement!"

Dan said, "it would be cruel of me to give you hope, right? ;-)"

I then said, "Maybe next October then :-)!!"

His response, [sounds of crickets chirping]

@ Todd - Great alliteration. There is nothing to forgive. I was just joking with the crying guy. You didn't crush my hopes too hard. (Crushing hope was the announcement this past November that there would not be an SESB 4. That was a harsh let down)

@ Jonathan - This is too bad. I had hopes when I watched a CNTTS interview which stated that - aside from Bibleworks and Accordance - they were planning to make it available for "other" Bible software in the future. I was hoping that Logos was part of this"other" group, and that the future was sooner rather than later.

A world-wide chain of "Mr P's Curry House"!

For years it seems, the Logos job adverts have included that new staff should have various skills, including "A fantastic recipe for chicken curry"!
