Double Digits

Kate turned 10 yesterday.  Like all birthdays ending in a zero this was a big one.  Highlight of the day was a little trip to Lenox Mall for an ear piercing. She was pretty brave about the whole thing.  And so, so proud once it was done.  She became a little less serious later in […]

New Business Cards

Justin Ruckman and I met at Atlanta Startup Weekend.  He was one of the main designers for Skibit and hopefully he will do some more work in the near future.   Justin had these great business cards that he designed himself.  Communicates the info you need to share in a simple, clean, and to the point […]

Palantir Unshrouding

From the public comments and some personal communications it appears that I need to clarify some things regarding the "My Future" article. My time at ATDC is not over.  When I joined the organization in October of 2006 I made a two year commitment.  I make commitments with care, and intend to fulfill this one.  […]

Wild Father’s Day

Sometimes pictures do indeed speak louder than words. The Weatherby clan spent the day driving up to Nantahala for a little Class II/III whitewater action (the most an eight year can do in these parts).  In addition to having an URL that certain technology companies would die for, the folks at Nantahala Outdoor Center did […]

Social Net Lent Experiment

Golly I have been busy.  Lent ended on March 23rd and along with it my experiment in giving up social networks.  Unlike 2007 when I gave up Google and Yahoo! for Lent and quickly returned to them, I have yet to really engage again with LinkedIn and Facebook.  I deleted my MySpace account.  I cheated […]

Seriously

One of my kids, I don’t know if it was Kate or Jack, came up with the rather astute observation that it was the normal convention some time ago not to smile when getting your picture taken.  So every time we take pictures we have to do a "serious" pose.  He is my eight and […]
