Point of Sale is a surprisingly competitive industry. I built a POS site for my old employer that does relatively well. As a test, I launched another one to see what kind of traffic it would get. Granted, my URL is a bit spammy, and I don’t update much, nor do I have a linking […]

Just read the< a href=http://www.shamelady.com>Shamelady</a> news. That’s awesome. I made a longer post about it on http://www.pdxbars.com You should go there and write reviews of <a href=http://www.pdxbars.com>Portland Bars</a> that you like.

One thing I’m building is the ability for promoters/managers/bar […]

I was chatting with my friend Matt Steckler, a guy who at least once a year pulls off some zany scheme. For awhile, he was broadcasting fan commentary via cellphones from Seattle Supersonics games.
