The Flip Video Ultra I ordered on Monday showed up one day early and I have to admit it was difficult finishing the day's tasks while staring at the Amazon.com box sitting next to my desk containing my new toy.

My sister had problems recently receiving her email with Outlook Express. After talking to her on the phone for a few minutes I was able to resolve the problem.

"Happy Birthday Mr. Noobie." Those were the first words I heard this morning as I opened my eyes in bed and saw my four year old son standing next to me. Two years ago on this day, I officially started Noobie, Inc. after working 15+ years in the corporate information technology (IT) world. A day like today is a perfect day to reflect both on what I have accomplished in the past two years as well as what things I completely missed the mark on. And believe me, there's plenty of both.
