Money Plants Say Outcome Uncertain

I have these braided Japanese tea plants (often called “money trees”) in my apartment, and they seem to have an eerie correlation with my business. A friend one mine once said he thought he could track my progress based on which plant was doing what. If the big one lost some leaves- it looks like long-term money flow will drop. If the short plant gained a new stalk- big money this month!

Japanese "Money" Plants

That being said it looks like the plants say “outcome uncertain”. My big one has lost a lot of leaves lately, but the small one is growing like gangbusters. I don’t do anything different to encourage any of this change.

Its funny- since I’ve quit my “real” job and restarted my consulting company that seems about right. Not as much long-term cash, but some months are big. Lets hope the plants know what they’re talking about and I land a whale this month!

Greetings-

This is my first blog entry and I figured I’d start off with a casual mission statement:

Primarily this blog will serve as a vessel to release recent updates related to VectorDefector. These will more than likely be in the format of a casual case study but may also branch out into new technology I’m in to, big happenings in the industry and entirely random crap that I think is awesome.

My business [VectorDefector], while established loosely in 2001 and again in 2004, has recently been revived to usher in a new era of web design, graphic design, custom web applications and whatever else crosses my plate that is fun, entertaining (and profitable!). I function on some basic fundemental principals: Make it work great and make it look great. I’m fast, efficient, educated and driven to make the best possible solutions for my customers while maintaining the quickest turn-around this side of the Mississip!

If that sounds good to you, check out my portfolio at http://www.vectordefector.com and lets get started on something bold!
