Moving to Colorado
I recently wrote about closing my business and the failure of our product, FeedCraft. It may have sounded somewhat abrupt, but these were decisions that have been in the works for many months. The process of our moving started after deciding to close the business itself and reflecting on what our next steps were.

This time I had a legitimate excuse
Sorry for the pause in posting, but I had a good excuse this time - I got married and was on honeymoon the last week. With all the stress of wedding planning and a short honeymoon with no Internet access over, I can get back to writing. I’ll be posting some pictures at a separate [...]

Manhunt at Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech and Blacksburg are getting some national press this morning, though not in the best of circumstances. Apparently, an inmate shot a police officer while at the hospital and then escaped on foot. The last I heard was that the police had the student center surrounded and there was a possible hostage situation. CNN [...]

Self heating coffee in a can
The first line of this New York Times article sums it up best: “…some innovations are like Post-it notes: you didn’t know you needed them until they were invented.” As a coffee addict, I always have an eye out for articles on coffee, specifically caffeine.

McDonald’s expects to roll out premium coffee
As a coffee addict, I would say that McDonald’s rolling out premium coffee is a boon to java drinkers everywhere. Not that I expect it to be all that good, but the ability to grab a decent cup of coffee on almost every corner (and every exit of the interstate) is welcome.

Finally up and running
Well, I’m finally up and running with my blog. Somewhat surprisingly, it took me quite a while to get this created. One would think with my career in technology I’d be an early adopter and created a blog, but to this point I’d been unable to find an easy way to do so. After finally finding a useable technology for creating blogs, Drupal, my new web site is operational.
You may be wondering why I’m doing this. There are numerous reasons. As post number one though, anyone reading this is doing so way after the fact, but I digress… For this blog, tmarkiewicz.com, I hope to discuss mainly topics related to my professional career and passion in technology especially Internet technologies. In addition, I’m sure I’ll be opining on a variety of other topics, not limited to but including business, finance, investing, the weather, politics, and rock climbing.
For a first post, I think I’m finished. Welcome to the site and I hope you’ll be coming back to read more!
