Business Ventures
Well, I've been quite busy the past week or two, hence the silence. I know ya'll missed me .
First off, I've picked up a job doing the website for a grad student in the Fine Arts School here, specifically a portfolio website, as he's a photographer. This'll be interesting, and I trust I can put out something of high enough caliber for what he needs. I randomly met this guy at my church, and it turns out that he grew up Virginia also, about two towns over!
Next I've just been asked by a professor of mine, and a P.H.D. student to join them on a business venture. I can't go into specifics right now, but they're looking to patent an idea, so after the patent's filed, I could talk about it. It turns out that I'm going to be programming most of it, yippe. The post-doc's job is to make sure I stay on track, and the professor came up with the idea, and will secure our patents. We'd split the proceeds with my school, as that way we can get the school to file the patent for us. The goal is, in a year this'll be a self-sustaining revenue generator, and the school will use it as an example to encourage ore entrepreneurship. Very ironic, the post-doc is ALSO from Virginia, and his mother now lives one town over from me.
Once I can say more (heck, once I understand the project better), I'll let ya'll know.
