Please Let This Be Over

Today was a terrible day for Arsenal supporters. We saw our “attacking” team get nullified by a Blackburn team that haven’t conceded a goal in the FA Cup so far. Does that mean anything though? I don’t think it does. We should have won this. The sad thing is that Blackburn didn’t really DO anything to deserve it. They had one shot on goal and barely came out of their own half.

This was all on Arsenal’s shoulders. We gave Blackburn a free pass to the next round. more »

Help Me Pick My New Glasses

Glasses.com (by 1-800 Contacts) allows its customers to preview up to 5 pairs of glasses for free at home. You only have 7 days to decide so I’m asking everyone to vote on the ones you like the best. I’ve already decided my favorite but I may be swayed by public opinion. Thanks for voting.

UPDATE: The winner, by vote, were the Oakley’s (50% of the votes went that way). However, it wasn’t enough to sway me, so the glasses I will be getting are the ECO’s – my favorites. Don’t take it personally. The price of the Oakley’s is about 3.5 times higher so even if I got a discount (hint, hint), the others would still be cheaper. Thanks everyone who voted. more »

Coaching Philosophy

I’ve been an assistant coach for my daughter’s club soccer team the past 3 seasons and I just finished a season as my son’s U08 team coach. I learned quite a bit about coaching and the mentality of young kids. Here are some points that I’m starting to develop as my coaching philosophy. more »

Reboot

I’m not sure how many times I’ve restarted this blog. One more time won’t be so bad. I’ve got some news and I think its exciting. I hope you do too.

First, I’m exciting about two different online businesses that we’ve been developing over the past couple of months. I don’t want to get into details until they launch, but they both include things that Joy and I are passionate about. I know that the word “passion” gets tossed around a lot on the interwebs, especially when it comes to startups, but I don’t want to call it anything else.

Second, these two businesses will lead into the launch of our own web development and consulting business. It’s yet to be named, but Joy and I will be the principals – she will develop our online presence and marketing and I will take care of the analytics and technical background stuff.

Please stay tuned as we get closer to our 2013 launches. I will be blogging about our development here. Look for our first ramp-up in January 2013 and a second following right behind.

Meanwhile, this blog is also in development and there will be enhancements/additions in the next couple of weeks. Please let me know if you find anything that needs fixing. It’s much appreciated.
