Hey, a Newsletter!

April 22, 2007

About three weeks before the birth of our second child (if I’m lucky I have that long!) I had the brilliant idea to start an online newsletter.  Since folks are always asking me how things are going, I thought it would be a good way to keep folks informed.

Oh, and also to write a monthly column about my “take” on the whole product development thing. 

So anyway, if you’re interested in signing up you can visit the website and type in your email address:

 www.babyowencompany.com

Old newsletters are going to be archived there as well, so I guess it really depends on if you want to check back periodically or have the hottest news delivered to your inbox “as it happens!”

Either way, I’m happy to have a loyal readership!

So anyway I’m finding that this online newsletter thing is that its a little bit of work, but not too bad.  It might be LESS work for someone who comes from more of a computer background (the most technology I ever came into contact with in high school was an IBM typewriter), but generally I think I’m figuring it out (sort of like the product to market odyssey.)  Thanks for reading!
