MESA Technology Group, LLC took home the Top Young Entrepreneurship Award - Best Undergraduate Business Plan from the 2006 Fisher Business Plan Competition. Not quite as nice as a top 3 overall award would have been, but we were still given special recognition for putting together a plan that stood far above competing undergraduate plans as well as ( Read more... )

Erin and I have been so busy with getting all our ducks in a row that I forgot to even make mention of WHY we've been busy. As I mentioned a couple months back, we submitted a business case for MESA Technology Group, our new pet business project. We made it into the second round and assembled a full, 23-page business plan-- complete with graphs, ( Read more... )

It occurs to me that we are in desparate need of a no tolerance policy. I find it so offensive and infuriating that all of these illegal immigrants somehow feel that they have a right to even protest.

So the Riverpark townhome gang finally has a real house! I successfully won the bid on a foreclosure house on the south end of Hilliard for $155,000 with closing costs included, which is pretty much exactly what I had intended to spend on a house before I started exploring more expensive options. It's a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage house with ( Read more... )

As some of you know, I've been on a house-hunt since a few months ago. As fewer of you know, I came across a great condition foreclosure about a week ago which I started pursuing. Well, the loan pre-approval letter came at the very last second, and the house came on the market this morning right on schedule. Only thing is, it's scheduled to be a ( Read more... )
