Ahh the smell of spring, the mixed weather, the feeling of freshness....
A New Company
I decided to start my own business this year. I did some research, registered a business, set up a corporation and now I am the proud President of McNiece Technology Services, Inc. (Under Construction). After March 31st, I will be working for me.... well me and the IRS. I will still try to keep my goal of writing on Burgerfaire.com once a week as well. I am realizing that keeping things fresh and updated makes people want to visit more. Since I don't charge, or advertise on my site, I don't make any money on it. Although I have been given free food, which I don't like to accept. Go figure. As for the business side of things, McNiece Technology will be doing the same things I did before, supporting small and medium businesses with their network, desktop, and other IT needs.
A Light Overhaul
Burgerfaire changed a little. I redid the layout and added new headers to fit. Not much to you, if you are reading this, but hopefully more enjoyable. The header artwork is randomly chosen from a series of graphics I created using my own photographs. The new layout makes them larger and allows for more picture. Hopefully you like it.
A New Project
The Geek(ki), or Geeks With Heart, project is a support/services company that helps people with their computers for a sliding scale fee. 10% of all proceeds go to charity at this point and we are talking about the possibility of a non-profit incorporated into it. Geek(ki) also will try to provide training classes, and eventually,at least I hope, an internship program to help people learn to do what we do for a living. We are still trying to figure out our identity in this project and even our platform. What we do know, is we want to help in some way.
So, New business, a light overhaul of burgerfaire, and another project called geek(ki).
If you have a business with technical needs or know someone who does, contact me. If you want to help with the geek(ki) project, please contact me as well.
Most of all, Thanks for visiting. I appreciate it.

We got my youngest an itouch for Christmas this year. I think I have mentioned that in the process of setting it up for her, I decided I need one for myself. So Krista, My lovely wife, bought me one for Christmas as well. This past week I bought a Motorola Droid and got a free HP Mini netbook.
I love the iTouch. Or I should I loved it. It was cool, I could surf the web, I could control my computer, I could scan wifi networks, or scan PCs for open ports, if I could see them. It was a great tool to have. On top of that, it was an ipod and played cool games. Pretty awesome.
About a week ago, I get this phone call on my Windows Mobile device. I am using the Samsung Saga. It is ok. It is a nice phone, with all the features I need from a device, but it feels a little delicate. It was the only new device at the time. That being said, it was perfect to get me over the hump of First Adopter on the Google phones and some of the newer windows mobile phones that turned out to be…. Lipstick on the same old pig. Back to the phone call….

Quick post about the best thing since Mario Brothers and their turtle ass-kicking, mushroom eating, flagpole climbing, princess saving, video game character selves... I imagine this is what they would eat after a long day of coin catching, fire dodging, and "1 uping"...... damn stoners.
The only that might make this more nintendo like, would be sliced mushrooms and some hot sauce.

In my attempt to keep things lively and fresh around here, I have adopted a once a week policy for posts. This week, I am only 4 days past my target of Sunday. The hardest part is actually coming up with something to say. I am not usually at a loss for words about anything, so it becomes more and more frustrating to sit down and have absolutely no idea what I will write about.
I wonder if it is just the concept of being misdirected by things on the internet, since this is my window to the world. As my wonderful friend Ainsley writes, the internet is my office. In my world, it is the link to my client’s servers, computers, and now phones. I can remotely manage all of these things from my wonderful little office in Portland, Oregon. If having the internet were my only distraction, that would be one thing.
My office is a mixture of, what appears to be, carefully organized things surrounded by piles of other things. The effect is what many would refer to as ‘messy’. I don’t like using such words, as it infers a bit of apathy about the greater order of things and everything having its place with a place for everything.
I spend the majority of my time looking into my 4 windows of internet expanse and rarely notice the piles of paperwork, crossword puzzles, and miscellaneous computer parts. But I know if I am looking for the W4 from this year, it is right here to the left under the latest copy of wired magazine.
