We Haz Office!

WHQ SignYes! We at SpendTrail now have an office!

As you can see from the primo signage and art work we pulled out all the stops. Not only did the office come with top notch designer touches, but it came at the best possible price for an upstart ventures… zip, zilch, zero, nada!

Yes, that’s right, it pays to have friends in high places on your Advisory Board… or at least nice ones with empty spaces.

While it will likely be very temporary (just a month or two) we are very excited to have a place to congregate and formulate.

It’s Alpha Day!! Yeaaah!!

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Okay, okay, most Americans endured today for its better known, and less loved, moniker — “Tax Day” (boooh!). I don’t know about you, but my most recent experience with one of life’s two sureties made taking the SAT, GMAT, and GRE all in a row look downright appealing by comparison… if nothing else, it would have taken less time ;-).

Nonetheless, for those of us working on SpendTrail it will always be fondly remembered as Alpha Day. The day we launched the prototype (aka “ugly duckling”) on its milk run. Sure it is still just a one trick pony, and still struggling to stay upright for now, but it is usable. So, for the next few weeks and months, the team will be working with our illustrious alpha testers (aka “family, friends, and fans”) to work out the kinks and round-out the features while still keeping it so simple our users will feel downright Einsteinian.

Indeed, our hope is that SpendTrail will help make this day next year, and a bunch in between, a good bit less painful for many of us.

Sweet Trails!
