Bently Reserve: Reflections
A couple thoughts I’ve had since returning to 32° weather in Goshen (although it’s actually forecast to be warmer here than in San Francisco this coming week):
- It’s cold in the office when the heat’s turned off because it was warm here Friday and someone turned it off. Brrr.
- RedPost is definitely onto something: If we can make a splash in San Francisco, then something about what we’re doing is unique and stands out.
- Being in the premiere event venue in downtown San Francisco can only help us out. It’s kinda like celebrities using new tech gadgets — it tends to lend credibility and popularize technology much faster than if we were, say, in 10 of the premiere locations around downtown Goshen, which, by the way, we are.
- We’ve got a long way to go with our software: sometimes I think our software is awesome — then I use it in a slightly different way than I thought about before and it gets clunky. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great start, but we’ve got lots of good design work to do.
- I bought my 2,000 square foot house with big yard (that doesn’t get mowed enough) and attached
garage for $73,000. I’ll put in about another $25,000 over the first 5 years I own it, probably a bit less, but for argument’s sake, that’s a $100,000 house. In San Francisco, I’d spend that in 4-5 years in rent alone. Geez.
