I Spy Jack

November 30, 2005 by Aaron

Well, today was a pretty fun day at work. I needed to take a break from all the projects I was working on to give my mind some rest. So I put together a nice new site. I got the idea for the site after playing with the camera that was dropped off for us to play with yesterday.

I spent most of the afternoon working in flash, well, learning how to use flash, and working in it at the sam time. I put together a neat little flash video. All in all it took me about 6hrs to make the entire video, and that included the time it took to learn what to do in flash.

You can see what I put together at ISpyJack.com the video is found on THIS page.

Well, enough sitting in the office, time to head home, eat, and watch Alias on DVD.

Fun Camera

November 29, 2005 by Aaron

So today, a client of ours that we do some consulting for (actually a lot of consulting) stopped by to get an update on the wireless project we are working on. He also dropped off an Axis PTZ 213 Netcam to play with. So we spent a couple hours playing around with it, and then decided to throw it up on the T1 for the world to experience.

You can check it out for yourself at: http://ptz.utaria.net

Feel free to have a look around our offices, yes you can control the camera.

Enjoy!

The week begins

November 28, 2005 by Aaron

The past few weeks, I have been forming a routine to start my week off in the right direction. Every Monday, I meet with my friend Jeremy at the local Perkins for breakfast. Jeremy is a friend, a fellow business owner, and a strong Christian. We meet each week to talk about business ideas, see how each other’s past week has been, and see what each of us has for the week ahead. We also uplift each other with prayer and keep each other accountable.

I just got back to my office from this mornings breakfast with Jeremy, and I have a very bright outlook for this week. I have an opportunity in front of me that will grow my business very quickly, but I am in need of financial support to do it. Jeremy gave me the number to the Northeast Entrepreneur Fund, an organization that helps stimulate business growth here in the Northland. He also encouraged me to step forward and call the bank, which I had been thinking about.

One of the things that really struck me today as I talked to Jeremy, is that I need to take action. I’ve already given God control of the steering wheel to my life, but I still need to hit the accellerator to move forward. God can’t steer me in the right direction unless I’m already moving. I need to step forward in faith, and God will open or close the doors that will send me where He wants me.

New Look

November 27, 2005 by Aaron

Well, I figured it was time to do some updating, so I’ve been playing around with some new WordPress themes. I’ve found this one, and I like it a lot. I think I’ll keep it. It does, however, need some updating, so I’ll be updating the header image and doing some other minor customization.

Ideas, Statistics, and Adventure

November 27, 2005 by Aaron

I’m playing with a new idea for marketing a few of my sites. I’m still formulating the plan in my head, but I think it should work quite nicely. The idea came to me while driving home to my parents for Thanksgiving, and it’s stuck with me. I seem to get most of my ideas while driving, usually along the 3hr trip to either my parents house, or to US Internet where my servers are housed.

I’m not prepared just yet to reveal my new marketing idea, and for obvious reasons.  However, this idea of mine is going to require me to call upon some of the skills I learned in my Intro to Acting class that I took last year, along with the help of some of my friends. I’m hoping I can put my idea into practice before Christmas, and publish full details here.

In other news, I was looking over the statistics of this site. I hadn’t paid very close attention to this site these past few months, but apparently others have been. Visitors to my site have increased significantly during October. I’m not sure why, but it is a pleasant suprise. Perhaps now I’ll have more of a reason to post more often.

And lastly for today, I’m fairly excited about an opportunity that is arising. One of the clients my business does consulting for is looking into the possibility of taking me to Australia with them to demo the wireless system that I helped him assemble. This would be a great opportunity to demo the tactical capabilities of the system to Australia’s Fire Fighters for use during their upcoming fire fighting season. If things come through, I’ll be in Australia during Dec. 11-17. In either case, there is a good possibility of going to Australia later on in February. I’m excited as I’ve always wanted to venture outside of North America. I still have a goal of visiting Europe before I graduate college, but I’ll settle for Australia. Besides, it looks like it will be a while before I graduate, now that I’ve dropped my classes to focus on business for a while.
