As of right now I have got 15 fans, which is a lot more than my old account and I'm wondering why you all decided to add my to your friends list?

I am working on the software development primarily, but I have been feeling like that I should have devoted some time looking for potential investors and what not, instead of let others handle marketing and fund raising.

Just tried 7Up's new drink, It's called dnL with the subtitle Turn your thirst upside down. Quite a pleasant experience, it's caffiennated, so will be my new geek drink of choice.
