Business Venture Update

Late last week we began what will be a one month plus final push before we officially open our doors for business. That date has already been pushed back several times because of various project delays, but I’m happy to say they’ve been blessings in disguise. We can use the extra couple of weeks to […]

Growing Boy

Kael is now just over 4 1/2 months old, and he’s a very happy little baby. Thankfully, he’s been healthy and eating well. Tomorrow we’re going to be taking part in the monthly Bootcamp for New Dads again, making it our second appearance as “veterans”. It should be a lot of fun again!

On the plus side, it’s pink, so there shouldn’t be any confusion around the house about which one is […]

I’ve got my hands on everything from Voice Over IP, to OpenVMS, basic networking (subnets […]

In Transit

I’m currently sitting in Fargo’s Hector Airport for my flight leaving in about an hour. It rained here today and is actually pretty foggy right now, but our flight is still scheduled to leave on time. Here’s hoping. I was going to take this opportunity to take and post a few photos with my Razr, […]

I’m In Bubble Wrap

The good people over at 800 CEO Read run a couple of cool side sites related to business. One is ChangeThis, a place where you can download free “manifestos” about all sorts of ideas. The other is called In Bubble Wrap, a contest site where you can register to win business books each weekday. I’ve […]

Starting Up

What can I say: Life has been very busy the last week and a half after starting my new job last Monday. With just two people, there are an unlimited number of things to work on each day while getting a new business ready. It’s been an amazing learning experience so far, and I can […]
