Two New Projects Launched

August 8, 2009

This week was a busy one for me.  I launched two new websites: hallornohall.com and smartcarvs.com.  Both of these sites are purely just for the heck of it.  If they get some traction, great.  If not, great.
Hall Or No Hall is a co-creation with my long-time pal and business partner, Matt Thompson.  Our graphic designer [...]

Lessons Learned in 2008: Use Your Leverage

March 26, 2009

Getting things to go your way in the workplace is not always easy.  You have to use all of the tools in your arsenal to convince others that what you want is best for a project, your team, the company or yourself.  Sometimes that tool is charm.  Sometimes it’s humor.  Sometimes you have to drop [...]

Lessons Learned in 2008: Work With the Best

February 14, 2009

I’m so glad 2008 is over.  It was a difficult and stressful year—perhaps the most difficult of my short 10-year professional career. “Never again,” I’ve been telling myself in hopes of avoiding a repeat year. So I’m going to be dedicating a few posts over the next few days (or weeks) discussing some of the important things that really [...]

Not What It Seems

March 3, 2008

For a while I’ve had ongoing conversations within my group of business friends about core businesses.  The conversation goes like this:  companies say they do Y but act like a company that does Z.  It’s a discrepancy in perception (or public relations) and actuality (which usually isn’t so public).  I was reminded of this topic this morning [...]

Prior Art

February 25, 2008

Last Thursday I received an email from a friend, George Colombo, that pointed me to an article that Apple had filed a patent for “customized podcasts.”  I was immediately surprised and dismayed, quite frankly, because my business partner, Matt Thompson, and I had actually developed the technology (we called it Modcast) and implemented it on [...]

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 [...]

Q2 Resolutions

March 29, 2007

I completely missed the whole New Year’s resolution thing. Since we’re at the end of Q1 2007, I figured why the hell not go quarter-by-quarter from here on out. I’ve had a lot on my mind this year. Professionally, I entered the new year as interim-CIO which added a whole lot more [...]

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.
