Upcoming Tidings

Brainstorming • geek

Today I’m being interviewed for the first time. It’s both scary and exciting. I hope I don’t trip over my own *cough*… The podcast should be released soon.

The mission of all of this is to combine various talents to provide a source of funding for LGBTQ supporting non-profits, particularly for young people.

  • The books are behind, but are definitively still works in progress.
  • In a few short weeks, I’ll be releasing a mobile app that could affect the U.S. economy. It’s base is not novel, but what the app will provide to those who want its contents will be indeed a novel source of potential wealth.

All things in life are best when served with a cold libation after a LOT of work. This experience will be no different. Stay tuned!!!
