be thou diligent

"Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds;" -King Solomon One of the great things about blogs, is the ability to share. Ever think that you know a subject well? Really well? Beyond what mere mortals might know that subject? We all do (I hope!) At least I often get so full of myself... That is why it pays to have smart friends! Enter Bill Vick. We met electronically first on ryze.com, which is an "ok" service. Then we traded some voice messages. Then a real phone call or two. I believe that it was Bill that shared linkedin.com with me. Maybe not. But is was definitely Bill that handed me my hat: www.goDaddy.com I have created lots of domains for less than $10 each, with this company. And, they offer a true masking with meta tags for redirection of domain names. Kinda technical, but an important concept. Write me if you need help understanding why this is important. I even [then] remembered the goDaddy Superbowl commercials... But I said all that, to say, Bob Parsons at goDaddy is one smart man. Check out his blog on success. Those that know anything about me, know that I have studied every business model that I can get my hands on, in an effort [even in my retirement!] to better understand success.

dreams do come true

Life happens. We each get to decide how to face the challenges. I grew up on and around motorcycles, mostly Harley-Davidson vtwins. But have also owned the efforts of Bultaco, Penton, Honda, Kawasaki and most recently Erik Buell. Yet as I recall, it was the May 2003 issue of American Iron Magazine that in the wake of the events 911 got me excited about the bikes from Red Horse Motorworks. The low, mean yet stylish lines of their Street Stallion caught my eye. Later I would learn that this model was a rigid or "hardtail" and not for my delicate sensibilities! My days of racing motorcross are long gone.

Well, fast forward to the summer of 2005, and I am pleased to be a part of a brand new Red Horse dealership, Turismo Cycles of Ohio.

A new business start-up (one of my favorite past-times) based in great measure on the Constraints Management Method, the Open Source software movement, and the love of American VTwin motorcycles. Check it out and let me know what you think. --SKI P.S. There are employment opportunties available too!
