What are you up to lately?

• Stuart – Job hunting continue. Creating content for SClark Consulting as part of a relaunch. Storage unit finally cleared out.
• Derek – Just spent a few days in Sudbury visiting Kathleen’s family. Was looking through Best Buy’s flyer and saw lots of Chromebooks on sale – debating snagging one for CleverHost. Enjoying my new CleverHost cell phone (Alcatel OneTouch 10.52G on Speakout Wireless), and planning big marketing pushes for both Olio and CleverHost this fall.
