Discount Gas for Cash?

February 13, 2008

I was on my way home work tonight when I stopped at a Exxon/Mobil gas station, surprised to see the above sticker plastered on the pump.  I immediately thought that it was very odd.  In my limited experience with merchant accounts and credit card processing, I thought this sort of practice was not acceptable per [...]

Vacation Out, Reality In

April 12, 2007

So I’m back at work today after being on vacation for a week. I guess you never get used to the first day back at work. Any time I have more than a two-day weekend, I question why I’m working in Sarasota. Once I come to the conclusion that I’m here for [...]

Core Business Confusion

March 21, 2007

I had a meeting at work today with a few chief officers and the chairman of the board that was supposed to be about space planning. My development team has been located offsite since the end of October and is scheduled to move back to headquarters at the end of April. We outsourced [...]

Burn-out Sucks

September 13, 2006

Yes, it does. I’ve been struggling for about a month now. I’ve been here before. Many times before. I’ll push myself for about four months solid—mentally, physically and emotionally—and then I break down. The weird thing (or stupid thing) is you’d think I’d be aware that it will eventually come [...]

Cartoon Logic: A Day in the Life
Here’s a story for you entrepreneurs. My very first company was called Cartoon Logic. It was a sole-proprietorship that I established in July of 1997, after my second year of college. I started the company to prove that my Computer Science education was applicable in the real world.
