Reading Time: 3 minutesI think I may have found the point where I can’t get any busier. I thought that my calendar was going to clear out as my wife and I await the arrival of our second child. Not so. Sexy Life, my team from Startup Weekend Iowa City back in November, has fired up operations again … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 3 minutesHappy New Year! I hope you all have had an enjoyable holiday season. Here in the Oasis, the family and I have been enjoying some time together. My wife cooked up over ten pounds of fudge and several dozen cookies with my daughter’s help. I spent the better part of Tuesday removing the 3 inches … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s been a couple of weeks since my last post, and having some down time the last few days has been great. My house is significantly less dirty than it was, and I’m finally getting caught up on some projects that have been sitting in my home office for quite some time. Also, it’s been … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 5 minutesI finally have a few minutes to catch up with all of you on what has transpired the last couple of weeks.

Then, a coal train derailed in front of our train, and I was stuck one stop away from my car. First, … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe past couple of weeks in Venture School have been incredibly eye-opening. We have done about 20 of the 100 customer discovery interviews we have to do before Thanksgiving. In that time, the ideas we had about what people are looking for in a restaurant have been completely turned inside out. When my partner originally … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 5 minutesWhat a busy couple of weeks this has been! I got to reconnect with my undergraduate home department, meet and hang out with people much more fashionable than I, listen to pitches from some of the most promising start-ups in the Midwest, get ideas dismantled and rebuilt in the company of others with great ideas, … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 3 minutesFirst, I want to apologize for the lack of updates over the last month. I’ve been meaning to get to this at least every week, if not more often, but I’ve had my nose to the grindstone almost constantly over the last four weeks. I had a pretty quick turnaround on a Web site I … [Read more…]
Reading Time: 2 minutesWelcome to my little corner of the Internet. I plan to use this blog to discuss everything media and Web, along with a short series on why I’ve chosen to (very slowly) switch my home office over from all Macs to Linux-based systems. I might even throw a few things in here and there from … [Read more…]
