• In the midst of a very busy period, utterly failed to note the funding of Arch Rock, the "mote" network software provider.

Fortunately, here's a good discussion of the Arch Rock raise, giving the opportunity to make up for missing it when it was first announced -- the $5mm round included funders Intel, New Enterprise Associates and Shasta Ventures.
