“just can’t wait to get on the road again…” Willie Nelson Well, I’m down in Texas this week. I haven’t been in Texas in nearly 10 years. Not since I was with Clearwire and the senior management flew me down to give a presentation on how I was going to save the company $20 million…

As an addendum to my previous story about my stolen GPS, I checked some local pawn shops and had no luck. I realized after I made that post that the thief also stole a bag of mints from my car. Let’s see here. I’ll steal a $1,000 GPS device, not bother to take the charger,…

Today, I’m on something of a vacation. Sure, it’s Saturday and every Saturday should be a vacation day, but as a single founder, you realize that working 9-5 just isn’t enough when you’re flying solo. I’m actually headed to upstate New York to visit family. Last fall, I bought a Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS to…

This past week, corporate productivity from the home office took a nosedive. No, my 20Mbps network connection didn’t die on me. I bought a Nintendo Wii. While my golf score isn’t quite as low as I’d like for it to be, I’m going to be making an effort to get a lot of serious work…

A good friend of mine named Andrew Welch owns Ambrosia Software and they’re looking for a UNIX system administrator. If you’re into the Mac and Mac games, Ambrosia is the place to be. Below is the job listing he asked me to post. *********************************** Ambrosia Software, Inc. is seeking an energetic UNIX system administrator to…

SourceGear has an opening for a Product Manager. This is one of those times that I sort of wish that I was a few years younger, not married, and could just pack everything I owned into my hatchback to drive half-way across the country and take a job. Alas, it is not to be. I’m…

This morning, as I was getting ready to leave for my client, the band on my watch broke. I know it was the Bag Kicker but as always, I have absolutely no proof.

I think I’ve got this software thing all wrong. Sure there’s good money to be made doing it. Sure there are a lot of challenges associated with writing the software, designing complicated systems and deploying them in odd configurations. But is there something better out there? It’s my firm belief that there is an unadvertised…
