Chronology
May 2007 Graduated from University of Wisconsin - Madison in Economics. Took a lot of math and physics, too.
August 2007 Launched the HoboHookah to the mass market. Over the course of ~2 years my partner and I designed prototypes (he had a drill press in his bedroom), raised start-up capital, and took it to market. It is still growing.
September 2007 - September 2008 Worked at MindValley doing email marketing, internet product launches, and copywriting. Sometimes blogged.
October 2008 Went full-time entrepreneur.
About The Blog
Thought of the name somewhere in Malaysia in March 2008 and started writing that same month.
Buying a domain and hosting with a credit card from Malaysia is hell. I persevered though, because the idea of Mementum had meaning to me and I wanted to spread that meaning to others right away.

Comments
Encouraged. But a-hole comments won’t see the light of day and off-topic ones might gasp for breath. Flaming isn’t cool either. Aside from that we should be all good. Thanks.
