What was the highlight of this past weekend?
Believe it or not, but the highlight of my past weekend was starting up my own computer repair business to save up for some cash. I'll admit that I was proud that I took the initiative to discuss this with friends and family, who've been extremely supportive in helping me find leads, distribute fliers, and design fliers. I went to Staples with a fresh, crispy twenty dollar bill in hand as a capital investment and purchased a packet of Avery matte white clean edge business cards. Don helped me write a concise, engaging ad with clipart. I'm going to start in my neighborhood, I can say with confidence that the starting up of a business is one of the proudest moments of my life so far.
I've interviewed some well known personalities in technology such as Leo Laporte, Steve Gibson, Amber MacArthur, Sarah Lane, Andy Walker, Chris DiBona, Dick DeBartolo, and Mike Lazazzera.
One of the older cast members from Star Trek. I was interning at Tekserve in Manhattan at the front desk and he lugged in an iMac G3 asking for a repair ticket. I handed it off to him not even knowing who I was speaking to. Immediately afterwards, my coworkers crowded at the greeter's desk asking me whether I knew who he was. I didn't and I still don't know his name to this very day.
