Using Facebook Ads to Get My Wife a New Job
The USPS has a weird system for mail carriers that want to transfer to another post office. Rural carriers can’t directly ask for a transfer, they must go out and find another carrier to trade offices with. I mention this because my wife works for the post office and we were recently looking to move [...]

After Quitting My Job
It’s been a while since my last post where I talked about quitting my job so I figure I’m due for an update. Lots has happened since I quit my job and I’ve almost settled into a routine. Don’t really have a routine yet because of the big move to Washington state. Moving… Yep, I’m [...]

I Quit My Job Today
I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time it seems. I had thought of all kinds of scenarios for how I might do it and what I might say but nothing prepared me for what actually happened today. I’m still in a bit of shock and I haven’t processed everything yet but it’s starting [...]

Increase in Revenue and Possible Move
The first couple of months of 2011 have been nuts. Lots going on but not so much going on with Bidsketch — sort of. I say sort of, because Jan 18, 37signals blogged about my Highrise integration and tweeted a link to the blog post. This resulted in a small increase in traffic that day [...]

Last Update for 2010
It’s been a year since Bidsketch launched and it’s now able to replace a fair amount of my salary from my day job as a web development manager. It’s both exciting and nuts considering my first-year-goal was to simply hit 2k in recurring income. I’ve easily surpassed that goal but things are going to get [...]

Launch a Product While Working Full Time
This is part two of a post on making 1k/month while working nights and weekends for a year. This is based off a Hacker News thread that was started a while back. My previous post mostly covered why many of the suggestions were so bad. This one will talk about what it takes to survive [...]

Quickly Build Something That Earns You 1k Every Month
A few days ago I came across a Hacker News post that asked the following: Can I build something within that 1 year which starts giving me $1000 profit every month? An important constraint here was that this was strictly a nights and weekends project because he has a full time job. The answer of [...]
