SimpleFlame Annual Blog Post - Happy Birthday Jason Tinnin!
Cesar Keller - Thursday, January 19, 2012
Yes. It’s that time again, the once-a-year SimpleFlame blog post. As much as we'd like to, we simply don’t have enough time to blog on SimpleFlame. Time to dust off the old blog module and do it again. We're happy to announce there’s a lot brewing with TribeVita.com, Kiyuco.com, and now working on the new SimpleFlame 2012 website (version 3). It’s been two years since our latest site revision - stay tuned!
Today we celebrated Jason’s 33rd birthday at the office. It was casual as always with some pizza, ice cream cake, and a little rum & coke. Had fun discussing 2012 opportunities and future game plans. The New Year has come along with many things to look forward to.
Every time we get a chance to, we give Jason a hard time. What the heck - it's our culture around here. Mercy got him a great birthday card! We wouldn’t have it any other way. In case you can’t see it, the lines read: “NAS CAR, HUH? YUP. REAL NAS!”
Speaking of NAS! (Nice for normal speak) It was only one year ago that we celebrated Jason’s birthday with an Apple Cake - courtesy of his wife Amy (Awesome). Since 2007 he's given me trouble for being a Mac guy. He’s always made fun of me as an artsy-fartsy guy. That’s cool J Well well well… How things change! If you've been keeping up with us on Facebook, Jason was provided a company 17” Mac Book Pro per his own request. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
It was hard for Jason to explain his request to me over the phone. After 5 years of getting crap on the whole MAC vs. PC debate – I could only laugh and live it up. His lame excuse: “I am looking forward to developing web mobile applications. I’ve looked at several ways to go about doing it - in the end, I NEED a Mac.”
So, what happened next? A quick trip to the Apple Store, and a new Mac guy was born. To date, he loves the machine, speed, usability, and overall experience. He setup BootCamp running Mac and Windows (Sorry all Mac purists), and is happily embracing the right kind of hardware for the type of business we are in. My honest thought is that it was all a matter of when it was going to happen.
I end this blog post with a smile and a sense of enthusiasm for 2012. A lot of our 2011 goals were accomplished and they set the foundation for all that remains to come. Thanks to our amazing SimpleFlame crew and Happy New Year to all. Looking forward to another blog post in 2013.
