New Challenges, Amazing Opportunities
This blog has become an annual posting exercise. My dreams of becoming a professional blogger are not looking like they will ever come to reality! lol The past year has been extremely interesting and with so many changes and activities it would start to turn into a...
What a difference a year makes…
I look back in my posting and I see my last one was November of 2015. Wow. All the times I thought about doing an update post to this blog on the plane, between meetings, or in some spare time (which doesn't happen often). Seeing that it is now April of 2017, I...
My First Online Course!
It has been some time since I have posted here... I could say all the reasons. Its been busy. I've been developing applications, taking courses, reading books, building websites, doing some travelling, and even fighting off a fall flu. But there is no real reason...
Week 1: Excited, made some money, long way to go…
Week one is in the bag. It was a fast paced, sometime focused, other times scattered week. I met a lot of great people -- some new, some old. In the course of all these meetings I spun up another project called propup.io PropUp was an idea that happened when I was...
Goodbye my old friend…
Have you ever want to do something for so long, that it put you in conflict with another dream? This is what happened to me and today marks a very tough and exciting day. For anyone reading this that does not know me, I am a very big car "nut". A core passion of...
Networking, Learning… GROW
So a big part of building a business in getting out there and connecting with the community, and trust me, I have been taking all the opportunities I can. I have started booking so many meetings with people that I may need to invest in Starbucks stock soon! All...
Day 1, Week 1, Year 1 – Let’s Go…
This is the first day, week, month, and year as an entrepreneur. It has been a long time coming. I have had the idea to go on my own, but lacked the confidence to overcome the fear of it. It is one of the most interesting experiences I have had in life so far. The...
Apple MacBook – 2015 – A Design Feature Missed By All
Well the day is finally here. Apple has released its new MacBook in a 12" screen size, with Retina, and an amazingly thin and lightweight design. Apple continues to amaze at how it innovates all of its previous technology to get smaller, faster, more energy efficient...
Design+Code
So I will admit out of the gate, this is an expensive book considering many options out there. It is also not a book in a traditional sense, it is more like a subscription to a website that contains a book-like format. I came across the Design+Code website through...
All journeys… the first step.
I love building things. This is the start of my journey to build something new. It is really that simple, and you should probably already get that if you take a cruise around my website. I liked to draw, I like to build cars, and more recently I like to work on...
Social Media in the Enterprise
There was a recent post about a local technology company in Vancouver, BC known as Hootsuite that received another round of $60M in funding -- after previously receiving $250M in financing. Given that this recent success has created much attention for Hootsuite, I am...
Elegant Themes – Divi
It may seem narcissistic to do a post about design that is on my own website -- and I am not doing it with any intent to be so. However, I do want to review the template and how it results in the design you see here today. First I want to talk about the "how" of this...
The Apple Watch – Initial Thoughts
After all of the rumour and conjecture the Apple Watch is finally here... This obviously a "late to the game review", but these are my initial thoughts after the buzz has of the media event has long since passed. It is interesting to see how Apple's design theory...
