Okay, real talk, blogging often is hard shit. We care so much about you and your time. We don’t write posts for the sake of writing posts. If we have a passionate topic, you’ll see it here. Otherwise trust we are probably just busy making something great for the citizens of the interwebs.
Why do I always hear such negativity when it comes to innovation? There are always those naysayers who discourage the true innovators. In a recent search for building an online payment system (so we can maybe have our clients pay an invoice online with our merch account), I came across this gem (I wont give…
Read moreI wonder if anything is worse than stating the obvious. Like when watching a sporting event live, and the guy next to you has to constantly scream “Shoot the puck (or ball, or whatever sport)!!” So somehow this guy clearly knows more about when and how to make the shot, than the guy on the…
Read moreThis is NOT one more post about the tough times… you can get that negative talk anywhere.

Read moreWhenever something takes longer than the predetermined time I have alloted for it, I can feel my satisfaction and enjoyment waning. On the other hand some things in life need to be extended: mountain bike riding, a very nice meal with my wife, a good fight scene in the movie and a much needed Sunday afternoon…
Read moreDo the hard times really bring out the best in businesses and non-profits? I believe so. One recent commentary on our current economy strongly suggested that during lean economic times it is natural for people to trend towards ‘BEST’ even when on a whole we are spending less. Think about it, even the BEST companies…
Read moreI often see communication from companies that think we (consumers) are dumb. Examples. • Circuit City is filing for bankruptcy due to the economic colapse. – The reality is that CC has been failing for the past 5 years. The last 6 months were merly the nail in the coffin. • Microsoft is cutting 5000 jobs because the slow…
Read moreSome things are just screaming for an update… like the time share that I am in right now in Orlando. It was new & “in” when Miami vice was having it’s inaugural years. The problem that this place faces is that it spent a TON of money on permanent fixtures that had a shelf life…
