Diversions

Well, this year is really off to a quick start. Over the holiday I spent a lot of time talking with some buddies of mine from work. We saw a huge opportunity to develop applications for mobile platforms...so we started our own business! I'm in the process of doing the filing and other work requires to setup an LLC. For the time being we are focusing our efforts on Windows Mobile, BlackBerry and the iPhone. It's a chance to make some extra money, so it take presidence over spending time on flying or building a plane. The new company is called Three Jacks Software. We already have our first project started...I'll add a post about it once it gets closer to completion.

Another diversion is that I am helping my friend Jayanthi Alphonse create a non profit. Her initial mission is to raise $3000 to add a toilet and a couple of small rooms to an orphanage in south India. Once this mission is accomplished she would like to identify other needs around the world and in our own state. I'm really excited to be a part of something like this.

And then finally, I am teaching again this term at OIT. I've added a lot of content to the class, which means more work for me. I think the students are getting more from the changes. The class is Software System Testing....lots of stuff on unit testing, test driven development and automated testing.
