• How not to do ecommerce

    Years ago when I started with ecommerce, email was an acceptable way to do this including sending credit card information (or at least no one knew better). Today, informed consumers know that email is not the right way to do ecommerce.

  • EeePC

    Several weeks ago, I received an ASUS EeePC 901. I've been looking at them for awhile now and finally had an opportunity to play with one. The first thing that happened when I first pulled it out of the box was I cut myself on the box! It was one of those corrugated cardboard boxes that kind of looked like a picket fence. After that unpleasant experience, I was excited to power it up. I was easily able to get it on my WiFi network and began surfing away.

  • New job

    As some of you that follow my blog have inferred from my posts, I have a new job. I started with alwaysBEthere, Inc. as Director of Technology. alwaysBEthere was a client of mine for several years, and I was offered a full time job. Switching from a contractor (I was a contractor for over 5 1/2 years) to an employee again wasn't that hard for me. As part of joining the company, I made it a requirement that I be able to work for home, so that part didn't change. The company is headquartered in Minneapolis with a small office here in San Diego. So while I have the option of going into our office, I only do it now and again; I find that I can get much more work done at home without having to commute.

  • Paperless 1.0 Shipped

    Mariner Paperless (the new name for ReceiptWallet) 1.0 shipped last week! I'm quite happy to see ReceiptWallet moving forward. While this 1.0 version of Paperless has mostly cosmetic changes, I'm sure that more changes will be coming soon.
