About ryanmnly

I am a network engineer in Columbus, OH and a current student at DeVry University. I lived in San Diego for a few years where I really found my love for IT and the Internet. I have been involved in a couple very small startup ventures, one being successful enough to sell.

I like to trade ideas and explore new opportunities. As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted to develop a brand new business and make an impact on the industry.

    I would assume that if a VC got the reputation of taking ideas and pushing them to other groups instead of the originators, it would kill their credibility. And without credibility…

    That reminds me of a book called "Disney: The Mouse Betrayed." It made very interesting points about the shadowy doings of Disney behind closed doors. Unfortunately, it was written…

    I've never had a negative impression of him. He is confident and forces you to think in a different direction. I also know the "4 hour" week is an exaggeration. Pay close attention…

    You are both right, thanks for the feedback. These are the types of things we need to iron out immediately. We've been working with a few different layouts, but without users actua…

    I'd like to let everyone know that we have launched our Fourth Branch, http://www.fourthbranch.us , for use and testing. It took us longer than planned to move to production, but o…
