Some of you have an unhealthy addiction to Vladville I’ll leave it at that. I have been suffering from a severe case of Blogache, my head is stuffed with stuff I want to talk about, my sinuses are filled with how good the new Microsoft commercials are and I’m in a whirl over how good the business is. Talk about the right place, right time, right message and the right people. We are absolutely firing on all cylinders, but we are running out of cylinders. ;(
Anyhow, here are my thoughts in no particular order: ConnectWise conference is the best, direction-wise, conference I’ve ever been to. I got to sit around and talk to the CEOs of LPI, Zenith and ConnectWise for far more than just the few minutes we usually get. In terms of future and where those companies are going, we are right on the same page and in the same direction. This means the unbelievable growth curve we’ve had starts hugging Y more and more and my dream of a Ferrari rainbow gets more complete
Many of you have Microsoft problems and still a lingering anger over what is going on. Que sera, sera. On the business side I really can’t tell you that there is any interest in your concerns. On the MVP side, it’s really not a point of discussion at all, those guys are 100% on the ball to make the best product available. Microsoft seems to have their commercials out which IMHO look right on the money. I only saw one and I forgot the line at the end but it was basically a giant wind-up kick in the balls of Apple. Beautiful!
Cloud vs. On-premise: Who will win? Who gives a sh**. Listen, business is a game of gambles and investments. If you keep on hitting the red, and it turns out to fall on black you lose all your business. Tough luck. But if you grow up a littleand spread your bets around the table you just might find yourself ahead of the curve no matter what the future holds.
Finally, what am I up to?
I’m having a midlife crisis. It’s not so much of a crisis as it is collecting Corvette’s but I think the two go hand in hand. My dental surgery fun and drill is finally over tomorrow afternoon and with the wife back and work and little monkey in day care I’m pretty much dead set on bringing back The Ironman. You’re going to love the codename for this project, suffice to say, I have a lot of work to do in terms of redemption when it comes to my business, to Shockey Monkey, to a few partners that got screwed by me going on paternity leave, the tech contributions to the community and the list of fuckups goes on. The way I figure, I have until about Christmas (60 days give or take) to clean up my overpromise/underdeliver issues. I’ve hired a girl I’ve known since 13 to help me out specifically on some of this stuff (she is as big of an ass as I am so it’s a total c-c-c-c-ombo breaker type of a situation). I got me a shockey monkey!

Thanks for checking out my blog. You've officially reached the end of the Internet so take in what you've read and don't look at it as gospel but an invitation to start thinking for yourself.
