# Written mostly after Thanksgiving. Wrapped up sporadically for whatever reason, on whatever flight, or on whatever couch I seem to find myself on. Today it’s a couch in Denver after a day in the mountains… In a rented Jeep. # Dwolla is coming up on its 2 year anniversary. There are a million huge milestones for - Read More -
/ / Written a few weeks ago, at home, during a longer than usual stay in Des Moines. / / There are tidbits from my childhood that pop back into my head from time to time when they are needed. Moments in time that really seem to never fade. Like a perfect snapshot. I’m sure - Read More -
// This was originally written a few weeks ago but I think it’s a relevant thought worth sharing. I’m attempting to conquer emails before a trip to Kansas City and I noticed there are lot of bumper style e-mails in my inbox today // Bumper is an incredibly generic word. In this sense I’m talking - Read More -

// Originally written sitting in the SFO airport with Jordan the week of 12/7/2011. My brain can’t take another document today and to be honest, I’d give just about anything to sit in a movie theater and turn my phone off // This week wasn’t so different from any other week. I spent most of - Read More -
Dwolla doesn’t work yet the way we want it to… But it is starting to. The last 5 days have been another experience in what to do with the fire hose.
