I am an active watcher and customer of SteepAndCheap (and the parent company Backcountry.com along with its sibling site Dogfunk.com), repeatedly checking the site for quite a few years. I think their implementation of the “woot” model to sell old inventory is superb, especially now (actually integrated about two years ago) that they have [...]
With the recent name change of my employing firm I figured I would re-visit many of the basics of my job, one of which being my approach to due diligence.
Last year I posted about the due diligence process and a business plan breakdown, but over time my viewpoints on analysis have slightly shifted. It seems [...]
I met Gary VanderChuk briefly at SXSW at the Wine Library Cork’d Party. I have been meaning to watch a full episode of his show for awhile now as I am a wine lover and because I am truly impressed with what he has done for an old industry through the implementation of the [...]

Switch Applications = Command + Tab
Spotlight Search - Command + Space Bar
Print Screen [...]
Last year I posted about my lack of understanding for Twitter. It seemed so pointless and I couldn’t derive a reason why I would actually want to use it. Yet, I kept reading articles and posts about how people just loved the service, so I stopped boycotting in May of last year. [...]
I just wanted to throw up a quick post for the Utah Fund of Funds who will be hosting an entrepreneurial event with Tim Hunt, founder of Lingotek. The event will be held at the Provo City Library (located at 550 North University Ave) tomorrow, April 10th, from 11:30 - 1. The event [...]
Another old post… but better late than never. =)
I got a late start to the Austin Conference Center on Monday, March 10, because the EPIC investment meeting is Monday morn and I joined via Skype. Our call takes the majority of the morn, so I made it to the conference center around the lunch [...]
Oh boy.. this is an old post (and there are two more oldies coming) but I am going to publish it anyway. When life gets busy, the first thing dropped is blog content. Sorry.
By Sunday, the third day of SXSW Interactive, I had come to realize that the panels were genuinely hit or [...]
