Joshua Needham's blog

Welcome to my blog.

Until recently, I just didn't have a need for my name.com website. I began to realize that I need to brand my self and my company will follow so here it is.

Aspiring to become a Rubyist is difficult

So I've been spending shit ton of time reading about Ruby programming language more so lately than in the year since the last Mountain West Ruby Conference and it's a real struggle for me. The reading is difficult not having any previous background in programming aside from a Java class that I didn't finish in college. Although it is probably one of the easier languages to learn, and read it still hasn't reached the AhHa moment just yet.

Wow so much for posting more often

Alright well....
I at least have a pretty good reason for not posting lately, business has been nutz, the new baby a blast,and life just crazy to say the least. Parker is getting so big too fast. He has started smiling and everyday he want's more milk each time he eats.

Summers Gone

Well summer came and went but not without some highlights to go along with it that's for sure.

 

App Ventures, LLC had a very successful summer, and business is only getting better. We are currently working on our 13th app I believe, and the customers couldn't be happier with what we have produced.

 

What a FAST summer so far

Oh man has this summer flown by like a blink of an eye it's almost over. I've been super busy with App Ventures, LLC projects and completely missed posting something in July. This is not a bad thing but I sure hope to find the time to invest a bit more into posts here as this is my spot.

 

Impatiently awaiting delivery of "My Dream Machine"

My business is rocking and I signed an awesome partnership agreement last week that will provide a great opportunity for my family to eventually buy our own house.

 

It took awhile for my business to pick up but it's finally happening, and we couldn't be happier. The first part of 2009 was a bit rough after being laid off from my management position at the wireless phone store but getting back on track has happened and life is starting to get a lot better.

 

Getting flack on Facebook now to explain

Alright so this is a post for all of you who wonder or mumble under your breath, WTF is he talking about. Most of my friends and family on Facebook are a bit confused about what the hell I'm talking about and I'm going to write a little post as to exactly what's going on.
 
Here we go,
 

Turning 30 never felt so good, I love my life

Lately I've been super busy with projects, and customer service. I also had the opportunity to take a vacation up to Seattle, and mixed business with pleasure which was a great time.
 
I turned 30 yesterday!
 
Business is coming along nicely, and the bills are getting paid so I'm not going to be complaining about much for now. Turning 30 was just another day besides having dinner with family and friend which I must say happened more than it does.

We celebrated my fathers 50th today although not officially until the 18th of May and it was great!
 
It was a surprise party and he was certainly surprised because he actually had no idea, and there were a lot of people that showed up for the party. When it was time to leave my daughter decided she wanted to spend the night with Jesse who is my dads girlfriends daughter that lives at my dads house.
