Return of Soul Clan
Exited I was asked to get in on this: It’s the oldest Soul crew in Toronto (maybe Canada) and Dj’ing with Mick Taylor is always a blast because he loves his northern soul and it’s infectious - especially if he gets the mic. Tiger Bar as a venue is small and perfect for people dancing early, and don’t be surprised to see some talc on the floor (it helps you spin). Curious?...

DIY iPhone/iPod Runners iBra Prototype
My lovely girlfriend decided to indulge me this evening and teach me how to pattern draft an idea I had for an iPhone holder that wasn’t an arm band. Arm bands (for me) are just horrible for any distance running, and don’t work well under a coat because you have no access to the device.

Product Management in a Start-up: Part 1. Who's...
For almost 3 years I have been trying to use, create or cobble together solutions that fit my business as ‘THE’ solution for managing projects, bills, people, etc. Our problem is unique in that we design, manufacture, market, and sell our goods to multiple channels. Add to that the complexity of a retail operations, an ecommerce site and your starting to look at some very expensive...
