limited production :: hand crafted :: high performance :: rechargeable :: premium flashlights
This is my blog about creating a startup LED flashlight business. I'm a designer, fabricator, and strategist and I'm passionate about making ideas real. I believe that products are about people, that they should be built to last, deliver real value, and that we need to do a better job than we have in the recent past.
Most of my career has been contract or freelance work and I've crafted products and strategies for both big international companies and startups. I also used to work in the "industry" fabricating special effects for film and TV, along with the occasional hot rod. Bottom line, I love making things.
I'm starting this blog so you can follow along, from day one, and see what it's like to start a business, or fail in the process. Only time will tell, but I hope you find this interesting enough to stay tuned, comment, link, like, tweet, and (most importantly) participate in turning this idea into something tangible and valuable.

They're all a scam in the end. That said, I do like my American Express cash back card. They give you 1% on everything and 5% on gas and office supplies. It seems half the gas stations find a way to classify themselves as minimarts to avoid the higher percentage, but AMEX automatically credits you the 1% every month. No registering or requesting or "hey, we'll give it back when you hit $25". Simple and no fee.
ReplyDeleteI'd start with that unless you rack up a lot of expenditures, in which case other cards (like airlines ones) will treat you like a prince when you fly with them (or in my measly brush with grandeur: Economy Plus)
