On August 20th, 2020 we celebrated our 10 year anniversary in business. It would have been my Dad’s 77th birthday. It’s completely random that our business registration happened on that day, but it’s pretty special to me, obviously. I am going to resist the urge to prattle on about all the stuff I’ve learned along […]
I know it’s been quite awhile since I’ve sent a newsletter (Gee, did I miss anything?). I’ve been working with a couple of new and fantastic clients that have had me running around at full speed in all directions. It’s a good problem to have. Naturally, the world is changing at a rapid pace and […]
I suppose most of us believe they have the angels on our side, assuming we have some level of moral compass. Most people have some grinding, singular and very personal issue that outrages them and causes them to feel the need to take a stand. That said, there are some really awkward things that can […]
If you’re unsure what 3d printing and 3d design is all about, I just wanted to share a quick project I built yesterday. You see, dear reader, I have what is commonly referred to as a Charlie Brown-sized head. It doesn’t help matters when I grow my hair long, since I have a Robert Plant-esque […]
7 or so years ago, I stopped selling time. When I first went out on my own, I though I had to come up with an hourly rate, stick to it and NEVER lower it. I would then estimate projects based on how many hours they would take and then come up with a budget […]
I’m gonna jump right into the technical stuff and see if anybody pays attention to these kinds of posts. As my buddy Jason once said: “Yeah that command line <bleep> is real <bleeping> interesting”. He was right, but wasn’t real interested in the really nerdy part of linux like I was (and am). While compiled […]
I suppose every generation thinks the next generation has it “easier” (and they’re right, of course). That’s the whole point of parenting…Make your kids not have to struggle with the things you had to struggle with and provide them a better life than the one you had. I spend a bit of time in a […]
I was actually going to be funny and just have one word be the entire content of this post: DON’T Yeah, haha mr. funny guy. How bout’ you quit with the jokes and make with the words? In my experience the only thing more challenging than dealing with difficult clients is figuring out they are […]
This is part 1 of a series where I plan on explaining automation and how it may help your business in ways you may not have previously considered. There will be moderate-to-heavy technical stuff in upcoming posts, but this first one is written with the novice in mind. Hopefully it’s framed in a way that […]
If there is one thing I’ve never been comfortable with, it’s promoting myself. Ironic, given my history of screaming at people with a microphone in a metal band all those years (Please, not another “I used to play in a band” story…Not this time). As I’ve been candid about in my E-Book, I pride myself in […]
