I have not posted for a couple months here.  I have actually taken the opportunity (before Purlem gets to big and consumes every aspect of my life!) to do some traveling around the world.  My wife was also in between nursing assignments, so off we went… Our adventure took us to London, Greece, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Netherlands, France and Ireland!  Whew…  It was amazing and exhausting!

Now that were back, its time to really take Purlem to the next level.  Over the past couple of years Purlem has proven to be not only a profitable business model, but a product that people love.

The first thing I’m going to do is to partner with a senior level developer that can help prepare Purlem for the growth.  Were also going to focus on making Purlem more fun to use.  There are definitly some usability issues with the site that can use attention.  And if we get these ironed out, the entire experience will be much more user-friendly.

I’m going to focus more on the business side… marketing, attending trade shows, PR, and developing new business.  It’s a very exciting time and Purlem begins to grow out of it’s infancy.

Thanks to all the users who have given such valuable feedback to make Purlem what it is today.  We have a long ways to go, but we have a great foundation and a very exciting future!

As many of you know I have been spending the last year traveling around the Country.  Every 13 weeks my wife and I pack up and move somewhere new.  We recently arrived in San Francisco…  I have to say.. I think this is my favorite office yet.

The other day we met a group of Rockclimbers in Tucson and they were kind enough to take us out.  There’s something about trusting a stranger with your life as you repel down the mountain.

My wife has been working as a “Traveling Nurse” for the past year.  She picks up a new assignment every 13 weeks and the past year has taken us from San Diego, to Connecticut and finally to Baltimore.  I got my computer and Internet…  My portable office is good to go!  We finished our stay in Baltimore just in time to miss the big snow!  Spent Christmas with family in Chicago and took off over New Years to Tucson.  Its been a little chilly at 60 degrees …sorry.    I can’t wait to get out and explore all that Tucson has to offer.  The sunsets here are absolutely breath-taking!

Found this great little coffee shop on chesapeake bay. Will do nicely as my office for the day. No… That’s not a beer.
