Financial Realities of eProducts
This past year we have been experimenting with selling electronically distributed products, namely our iOS applications ‘State Lines‘ and ‘Coverage?‘, and our ‘Answers to Common Excuses‘ eBook.

How Setting Deadlines Help: Writing a Winning App at iOSDevCamp
The past weeks have been a blur of amazing scenery going by at way too quick of pace (and with way too little bandwidth). It seems every time this part of the year is like this as we transition to be on the west coast for Burning Man. Before leaving Saint Louis, we found […]
Our Celebrations – State Lines on Sale!
This week marks two noteable celebrations for our little nomadic household – It marks 2 years since we picked up our highly customized , geeked out Oliver Travel Trailer and began living in it full time. We still love our little home on wheels, even if we do get space-envy from time to time. It […]
