In case you missed it, I’m helping small and medium businesses move to Google Apps and The Cloud. Here are a few of the recent articles over on the Rubis blog.

Somewhat random thoughts on this Saturday morning – You may have already seen this but Rina passed it along yesterday as spinoff of a larger discussion that’s been brewing on the home front. It ceases to amaze me that companies and managers alike continue to be perplexed by how to motivate their teams. Likewise, too many of us fail to understand or communicate what motivates us personally. Fortunately, I think we’re starting to see somewhat of a shift or at least a segment of the workforce is beginning to be more …

People always ask me, “How do you like working from home? Isn’t it lonely, distracting, boring….”. This question always strikes me as a little odd. I suppose it’s a natural stepping stone in a conversation about “what I do” but it seems strange because regardless of the work, job or company, I’ve always been more or less “remote”. My laptop and an steady internet connection and I’m good to go. I’ve been doing it for long enough and in several different capacities that I’ve become rather accustomed to it. In …

Today Eric and I launched Agile Photog – a blog dedicated to sharing our thoughts on photography, business and technology. If you were paying attention you may have noticed I listed it on my projects page last week but in case you missed it you should definitely take a look and drop us a comment.

A couple years ago I was bitten by the Ruby on Rails bug. For those of you who don’t know (probably most people reading this), Ruby is a coding language and Rails is a framework (think template).

Before long I grasped the basic ‘theory’ and ‘concepts’ of Rails to the extent that I could hold my own in general Rails conversations.

There are two types of motorcyclists, those who have been down and those who are going down.

I heard this saying repeatedly after buying my third bike, a 2006 Harley Davidson Road King Classic and I count myself fortunate for never having felt the unforgiving impact of pavement (close only counts with hand grenades and boccie ball).  Today, I wondered aloud to my partner in crime whether being a motorcyclist is similar to being an entrepreneur. It was pretty easy to come up with all sorts of similarities; freedom, responsibility, risk, …

Is social media a revolution? Can we compare it to the Industrial Revolution? Is that comparison a little far fetched?

“Are You an Inventor or an Entrepreneur?”
- Harvard Business Publishing

I am most definitely not an inventor but an entrepreneur…
Over the past couple years I’ve given a lot of thought to whether I consider myself an entrepreneur. Sure, I’ve started a handful of businesses but is that indicative of being an entrepreneur? To some perhaps but it takes a lot more than “starting” a company to be considered an entrepreneur.
