Hello everyone. I am not making apologies.

So. Things going on here.

Three months ago we hired Jeffery D’Urso for a 3 month contract to get some line of sight and direction in technology. He was great. It doesn’t seem like it has been 3 months, but as of friday it was. He is now heading off into the sunset riding his 18.5 inch laptop…

But huge things have changed, I will detail those in other posts. Now I just want to review the big ones.
