Early Morning Rising
Greetings. It has (yet again) been a while.
In an effort to commit to joining the 'early bird' crowd I am, among other things, attempting to make a daily blog entry part of my morning routine. The general idea is to give me a reason other than work to get up in the morning, an idea inspired by this guy. We'll see how this goes. Some changes have occurred. These days I am a partner (one of three) in a new company called Plaidian LLC, a name whose spelling no dictionary seems to know. I consider that a victory.
Anyway, this venture is in many ways a successor to that of Systepic LLC, Curbside Studios, and the general idealogical soup before that. We write software. Any software. Our first significant work can be seen on a project partnered with Nemo Design: VoodooPC.com, specifically the Envy site. So far it has gone pretty well; business is picking up and the momentum shows no signs of falling off. It is possible (knock on wood) that my dreams of self-employment are finally paying off. About time. Other than that, things are pretty much the same. I still reside in the western fringe of Portland, a location that is increasingly inconvenient. The average ride on Trimet takes over an hour and a half to get to our office in SE Portland. I have plans to move closer to, possibly within, downtown. I play games when I can, enjoy coffee, and sleep. Oh, and I have an iPhone now. Love that thing.
