Back in action
Yes, I’m still alive. My last few days at Old Company were busy, finishing projects, starting some last minute ones, cleaning out my office, and teaching people to do what I do. I did more in that last week than I had for the previous 3 months. I finished work Continue Reading

Cell Phones and Licenses
So I ordered a cell phone on Amazon yesterday. The one thing I’ve heard from every schoolteacher and small businessman was that you need a cellphone. Your clients need to be able to reach you at unreasonable times. I checked out… what is it… the big six? Verizon, Cingular, Sprint, Continue Reading
