RideSearch.com is finished! After two years and a lot of hard work I
put the finishing touches on it last night at 2 AM. Go to PRWeb.com
and take a look at the front page. The news is starting to hit :-)

Happy New Year!

Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope everyone is safe when traveling this holiday season. I am enjoying this Christmas with mom and my new family. I can't help but think how Jesus is the reason for the season. Last night Holly and I went to a house that has it's lights orchestrated to Trans Siberian Orchestra. It was soo cool. I suppose that is why we waited about an hour to see this. Anyways,

Merry Christmas!

Ah, the internet. What better place to start generating a buzz. The first review of RideSearch is in and it is pretty good. I am working my tail off to fix everything this guy is talking about. So,, what does that mean? We have a winner!

This is a review done by a top blogger who has a reach of 20,000 viewers. It is of RideSearch when it is still in Beta,
Just wait till I perfect it and release it....

A big welcome to the growing RideSearch fans! This blog offers a
snippit of my life. I guess it's egocentric, but I try sometimes to
offer introspection or humor. Lately I have resigned myself to become
a salesman and a marketer for RideSearch. I am mostly a software
architect but I think I can figure this selling thing out. Probably
because I believe in this site and am passionete about it. That is the
base of selling. I believe in it, so I can sell it. So if you want,
label me a carpool guy, cause that is what I have become. Go
RideSearch. Ra ra ra!

Well, I am workin, workin, workin. But I will have time for guys night. This weekend I did have time to do the message at the homeless ministry. I also forgot to post the past 2 months messages, so below they are. I wish I had more time to blog, but it's 12:30AM right now and I have to get up at 6:30AM to go to work fo 10 hours. It's like that during the week now.

Well it is now Christmas party time. I've gone to 2 already. I've got
1 tonight, 2 on Friday and 2 on Saturday. I usually have one myself
but have not had the time to plan anything. Christmastime is when I
bust out the old acoustic guitar and play Carols for sing-a-longs.
That is pretty fun. Holly brought this homemade sausage bread last
year that was pretty good. Things have been stressful on both our
sides this year as she has had a teacher certification exam and a
final to study for. I think it is now time to forget our miniscule
worries and get in the Christmas spirit, ho ho ho. The tree is in a
box in the living room and the lights are piled on the porch. Time to
make it all Christmassy around here. Merry Christmas!

As usual I am too busy to blog. I am thinking of doing a commercial
where cuts and fuzy bunnies use ridesearch to carpool. In other news
Holly's new car is in the shop with a missing engine mount bolt. So
these passed few days I have been carpooling with her which means I
have to get up grudgingly at 6:30. If only people would catch on to
the new wave then life would be easier.

So now instead of feeling like a hobby ridesearch is starting to feel
like a job. For instance I am still fixing things here and there. Then
I am starting up marketing plans and am about to start to meet with
city leaders to sell it. It is a big accomplishment in my life, but
this time it feels like I have a second job. A big part of me feels
like boasting, but this week I have been training myself not to talk
about it too much. But this leads into a paradox - how do you market
and sell something and not boast about it at the same time. I am
trying to figure that one out. In other news, I am still hapily
married and would like to thank my wife for being my biggest fan
<smooch> Have a good weekend.

As a result of too much marketing here I have decided to start another new blog that is the official one of ridesearch.com

http://ridesearch.blogspot.com/

It is good to carpool.

I've put up a new blog. This blog deals specifically with saving money on gas. Guess why?

http://save-gas.blogspot.com

One of the ways to getting your site high up in the listings on search engines is to have other sites link to you. So if you are a member of any bullitin board group or any other blog a link to my site would greatly be appreciated:

http://www.ridesearch.com

Oh, in other news I am still getting the site ready for Jan 1st, so no guys night tonight...sorry...

We have entered Beta! First 500 members get a free lifetime
membership! Pass it on.
