Amazon web services “start-up tour”

Coming to Salt Lake City, September 10, 2008
I signed up, I have been meaning to mess around with AWS for a long time but haven’t had the time. This should shrink the learning curve.

I consider myself pretty plugged in and I probably only knew about 10% of these companies. There are a couple things that I think are really interesting about this.

Important Questions to Answer before beginning a new website

A client asked me to put this together so they could understand exactly what I do as a consultant.  I think often times we make it look way too easy.  People say they want it to be easy and they don’t want to think about it but often times if they don’t understand what is [...]
