Mini-Promotion

Let’s be honest.  Sales of Mini-Compressor have been steady, but what we really want is 4 bazillion people to buy a copy and tell 2 friends.  Then we can have bags with dollar signs on them!  And build our dream garage_*_.

8 in One Blow

SaturdayMP has been around for a long time.  The concept of a weekend software company is how our friends and acquaintances know us (dreamers).  Sure, we incorporated just over 2 years ago, but the name has been around for longer in our circles.  This past winter, Chris had a few opportunities to see some familiar faces and catch them up on our ‘latest venture’.  Imagine our embarrassment when he had to 1) borrow a pen to 2) write down his contact info on the back of a gas receipt.  Seriously!  Doesn’t this dude have a business card?  That was my next project.

Holiday Cheer

Once, during the dot-com boom, we were both flown to Cleveland to celebrate Christmas with other employees and their spouses. We’ve also been invited snowmobiling and dinner and at the boss’s house. A more rukus one featured a fight between 2 staff members in the parking lot of a rather upscale hotel. That one was especially funny because the company had hired a band to play at the party. The band consisted of members from a local media station. The local media was ready in the parking lot to report on the brawl. Fun times.
