My Big News

I teased about this over the weekend and it seems most of my friends think that my wife and I are pregnant.

The big news IS about a life-changing event, but not about bringing a new life into this world. Today marks my first full-time day working on my own. I'm phasing out of my day-job and into my own business as an Independent App Developer.

I've been incredibly fortunate to be in this situation and want to thank my wife who has endured the late-night coding sessions and my steering our conversations back to apps and app ideas.

I'm humbled and delighted to know that there are literally millions of people using Flashlight, and I intend to continue to improve Flashlight and release new apps VERY SOON. My plan is to release two new apps this year, with many more apps and updates coming soon too.

I will work from my cloffice (closet office) in my house. My daughter plans to come greet me whenever she wakes up in the morning, and I'll have lunch with my family. I'm thrilled about this new flexibility and freedom and very excited about being able to actually create more of my list of 60+ app ideas!

I'll be blogging a bit more, tweeting a bit more, and coding a LOT more. :-)

I wish you the best, but I know you will be successful. How do I know? Well, you have been, and are, a person who thinks through complex problems, is rational and one of the best problem-solvers I have had the pleasure to know.

You try to make your thinking fit reality and not reality fit your thinking. That's always the best approach!
