Cool Companies

Written by Sean on May 09, 2009 | Work, Web Development, Other

I’ve been in contact with a few great companies lately, all who have really good contacts for contract work, and have great people running them.

Firstoff, my friend Mitch has started http://barkingants.com. He seems to be picking up steam with his work, which is mostly small- and medium-sized websites. His work and development knowledge are top notch.

Then, there is http://bluetractor.com which is the online home of my friend John Thomas. John specializes in flash presentations, and even flash games, but he also does a lot of traditional web design. Look for Blue Tractor to break out this year with a lot of great work.

Lastly, there is http://gelfusion.org, whom I just met this week. Greg is the principle owner and he has a vast amount of experience in the online world. I’m finding he is the silent type doing delivery of work for some pretty well-known clients, and doing awesome at it in the meantime.

Anyhow, things are still going okay for me. I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I moved to the Nashville area. Time really flies.

News

Written by Sean on April 05, 2009 | Other

Well, it’s been a long while since I posted anything on this blog. My wife is bugging me that I don’t ever write on my blog.

Here goes:

  • Julie is pregnant with our third child! I’m really excited. People keep askng me if I want a certain gender, but in honesty, I just want a healthy baby.
  • TurnItUp Media launched a while back. We’re working hard to make it better, and have made a lot of progress. We’re seeking another round of funding to really blow the top off the market and make it grow. It should be amazing.
  • Our new house is doing well. I built a quilt desk for Julie’s sewing room. You will probably be able to see pictures soon once we get everything organized.
  • Fiona is doing really well in piano. She works really hard and is improving every week.
  • Aida has been in dance and really enjoying it. She will have a recital the same day as Fiona’s baptism.

Well, that is all for now. Back to watching Conference.

I’ll try and submit more content on this blog. Maybe change the blog engine from Wordpress to Expression Engine. We’ll see. ;)

Happy Easter!

The things kids say …

Written by Sean on December 30, 2008 | Quotes, Family

One of the best quotes I’ve ever heard out of my children came last night. We had just stopped at McDonald’s and I was giving them a speech about how we won’t be going out to eat very much because we need to save money. Then after about 30 seconds of quiet driving, my youngest says:

“Dad, when I get older I’ll get a job, okay?”

I laughed so hard. Love it. She’s adorable.

New Camera … New Blog Post

Written by Sean on July 05, 2008 | Other

So, I bought a new digital camera today:

Canon PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph

This camera is based off the same styling that our A620 was, but it’s slightly newer. I also bought a 2GB SD card (only $18!). I then came home, charged the battery, and took a couple of test photos, then snapped this one of myself:

Me … a bad picture of me.

I hope to snap some more photos of our new house, my coworkers, and overall, my life here in the Nashville, TN area. Hopefully there is someone out there who will want to see what I’m going to share. :-)
