To Disagree Agreeably

March 10, 2009

Our company just wrapped up our second annual company retreat out in Angelfire, NM. We normally take three days and look at our company introspectively from all facets of the business. It also gives us all a chance to sit back and enjoy each other’s company in a “non-work” environment. One of [...]

Gastric Bypass | 2 year anniversary post-op

February 7, 2009

Today marks the two year anniversary of my gastric bypass ROUX-en-Y procedure. I have stayed within 10-20 pounds of my lightest weight since hitting it over two and a half years ago. At my lowest I was 190 and this morning I weighed in at 205. I’ve recently gotten up to 212 [...]

July 16, 2008

It’s last night at about 9:30p and I pull up Apple’s website to see what the availability would be for my Apple store at Willow Bend mall to have an iPhone 3G tomorrow. The website says it would be available in my flavor (white, 16GB) tomorrow so I began wondering what time I had [...]

iPhone Software 2.0 Review

July 11, 2008

I couldn’t help myself.
I’m sure there are going to be another thousand reviews on the software but the beauty of the web is that people are also interested in my take. So I did three parts.
1) From a Apple fanboy perspective
2) From a financial services perspective
