The last three months have been amazing, and very busy!
The Creative Coop and Jax EBikes is finally done! We've been open for 3 weeks, and I feel very satisfied with what we've created.
The Jax EBikes events of this Saturday's Night Ride marked the end of a grueling 3 month effort. But we are finally done.
Stores Open. Warehouse has plenty of inventory, and we already have happy customers!
I'm still deeply involved in Software, but my faith led me to making a difference in global warming and socioeconomic equality.
I've learned so much over these 90 days.
- I've learned how lucky I am to have married an amazing talented wife! Thank you Andrea for making our shop look beautiful! If I spent a lifetime, I'd never be able to describe how much I love you. I hope my actions do my heart justice.
- I've learned the importance of friends and the importance of letting other people drive. Thanks Matt for our awesome motto and your tireless work with BikeJax. Thanks Joe for your cheerful company. Thanks Jon for the beer ;) Thanks Philip for teaching me about how to integrate other peoples dreams into my own.
- I've learned how helping just one disabled customer realize a new found freedom can be rewarding in ways I could never have imagined.
- I've learned that I come from a rare and amazing family. Thanks Dad for showing up, unannounced, at the boat show with a four pack of energy drinks and a six pack of Red Stripe. Someday, I hope to be half the man I see when I look at you.
- I've learned that we all care about the environment, about our community, about our city. I'm so proud to be here, and I hope my energies make this city a better place for all.
Now that I've nurtured this dream. I can get back to my passion for Software: Serialized Principles, Microsoft Expression (Silverlight/WPF) and Agile Programming (speaking of a lot to learn)...hope you missed me.
Best to all. And now that things have settled you should see me blog a bit more often.
