Check it out. This is one of the videos on the site:

I just arrived in Indianapolis where I am staying overnight in order to catch an early flight out to Jacksonville, FL tomorrow morning. Our plane leaves at 7:50 am and we don't arrive until 3:30pm. That is the last time I let Todd book our travel. :)

I am looking forward to a great conference and spending some time in the Florida warm weather. It is about 45 degrees currently in Indianapolis. 

 I will post more about the conference later. 

A couple weeks ago I signed up to participate in yet another Google.com free service, Goolgle Voice.

Here is a general overview of Google Voice.

I have been accepted into the beta and will begin using it over the next few weeks and report back my findings here.

Stay Tuned! 

BetAssistant has just been made available in the iTunes app store. You can find it under the category of Sports or just search for "BetAssistant".

If you are interested in the app but do not want to spend the $0.99 then contact me and I will gerenate a code for you which will allows you to get it for free. 

I have been using an online billing/accounting system since the first part of this year (2009). It has allowed me to move closer to my goal of utilizing the "cloud" for all my data including email, accounting, project collaboration and everything else. The service I have been using with great success is FreshBooks. It allows me to invoice my customers quickly and efficiently. It also allows my customers to view their invoices online.

FreshBooks has a neat feature that compares and rates your business with other businesses in the same category. My category is "Programming". They compare things such as average invoice amount, number of invoices, revenue from new clients and more. I was very satisfied to see that my rating was the highest you could achieve. Not sure what this actually says about my company except that I am doing really well compared to other FreshBook customers. 

Here is my rating:

A couple other nice features I like and use:

- Estimates
- Time Tracking
- Emailing of Invoices and Estimates
- Expense tracking
- Allows others to bill me and automatically convert to expense

There are many more features. Click my rating if you would like to learn more about FreshBooks.

My Full report card: 

I have been in business for a few years now creating application for small to medium sized businesses. I find my customers primarily through word of mouth and online sites such as craigslist.com and guru.com. Over the past year I have seen an ever increasing amount of projects which involve creating a new iPhone app or updating an existing iPhone app. I have written applications for many mobile platforms and decided to add an iPhone application to my repetior. 

BetAssistant allows the user to select the amount of the bet, the bet type, such as exacta, trifecta or superfecta and then select the horses. Once a user has done this BetAssistant automatically calculates the cost of the bet for you.

BetAssistant will be available on the iPhone app store soon. 

How many times have you needed to send project files, graphics, archives or other large files to a customer? I do this all the time and me being the tech geek I am, have my own FTP server which I upload the file to and then move the file to a location available for my customer to download it, usually http://downloads.gologictech.com or some similar URL. As I have been sending more and more files this was taking way to much of my time so I started to look for an easy to use alternative. After searching the web and not finding anything that met my needs I decided I would create a tool that I would use and offer it to the public for free. The site is www.buckleFISH.com. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

In another life when I was a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer working with products like Systems Management Server, Windows NT 3.51 Server, MS mail and MS Exchange there was a logo Microsoft used for all of it's server products. You can read about the program and logo here.

Here is a look at the image. See the squiggly lines?

Well, what is the point of this post are you asking?  Back in 1997 I became permanently enthralled with these 3 entangled lines. 

More to come.... Stay tuned...
