So it’s been a week after launch, and I’ve not had much time to do any development.

Bidsketch Public Launch
So I’ve now been live with Bidsketch for several days now. Things are going well still, though my paid signups have decreased as expected. I’m going to be working on adding a new pricing plan to Bidsketch. Right now I have Free and Premium. I think a Basic plan will give people a much needed [...]

First Season of Fringe
I’ll start off by saying that I don’t watch TV at all. When I say that, I mean I never, ever, watch TV. EVER. I’ve mentioned that before and I’ve had people say “Oh yeah, I don’t really watch TV either. Maybe an hour or so, but that’s it.” Well that’s not what I mean [...]

Cities and Ambition
I live in south FL. This place often feels like the absolute worst possible environment for someone trying to launch a web startup. It seems like no one here understands or cares about anything having to do with tech. So this Paul Graham essay really struck a chord with me when I read it tonight: [...]
