Today I'm working from the office at my former employer.  Thank you to Coyotes Southwestern Grill!  Yesterday I filled out some forms for 2 crowdsourced funding sites. 1. indiegogo.com and 2. ulule.com .  We'll have to wait to see how that goes (fingers crossed).  Today I applied for Google Adsense for this blog.  I'll apologize in advance for the ads.  I chose the least invasive ad display options.  If it makes my page look cluttered I'll have them removed.  It'll be a couple of days before the ads show up.  So we'll have to wait to see how that goes as well.  I'll try to get some pics up soon as well.  Until then back to working on my first app!

Mana from the sky.

I currently am using the family computer in the kitchen at our house to do most of my work .  One of my first goals is to create an office space.  One of my children is in school full time, but his younger brother is in half day kindergarten which means he's home at 11:30.  I'm finding it difficult to remain focused in the common area of our home.  I have some savings, but it looks like I'll have to find a part time job to get me through some of the initial costs of my first app.  I have an additional goal to find funding for a laptop and to create the space I need to work more efficiently.  I love my boys and find it hard to ignore them when they want to show me how high they can jump.

I would like to avoid the option of finding part time work as this will detract from my end goal of supporting our family through my work as a mobile app developer using HTML5.  I'm a man on a mission and would like to remain focused on the task at hand.  I have thus, decided to seek out crowdsource funding.  I been to the Kickstarter.com site, but they only allow funding for projects in the U.S. and the U.K..  Today I'll try to find some sites that are open to Canadian residents.  Fingers crossed. 

My first post

As the title suggests this is my first post. This blog promises an interesting mix from the kitchen to the web. I'm 38 yrs old, married with 2 kids. Being a chef has been great for me for the past 20 yrs, but having children entering the school system has changed my priorities. I need weekends, evenings and holidays at home now to spend with my children. Adjusting to a quick career change. This blog will document that process.
