Non Stop Travel...

I've been traveling about 80% of the time over the last three months, and at the same time trying to finish all our wedding plans for July 4th in Kelowna. A lot of work! At the moment I'm in Las Vegas at Infor Inforum, a software conference at Mandalay Bay. Vegas is not as much fun as you would think when you are trying not to spend to much money. You have to come down here willing to flop down a good couple of grand to really enjoy the whole Vegas experience.

After a year of development we have almost completed our first software product that we will begin selling and marketing in September. Most of my travels have been to sales offices across the United States to try and get a better feel for the demand for our product. It's looking fantastic.

We are also well underway with our new office layout and re-design. We are also extremely close to launching our new company that has been internally coined "Price Business Solutions", however our new name and marketing of our brand will blow you away. We now have a team of 12 software developers and 3 business Analysts full time working on software products only. No Consulting. I'd love to say more but by the end of the year and moving into next year we are striving to become the biggest software development firm in Winnipeg. Although that's not the largest accomplishment, it will be a start!

Go Detroit Red Wings!
