- Software Programmer Mentality in Fresno
What’s the deal with the mentality of software programmers in Fresno? One of the things I love about being in the field of software and programming is the fact I get to be exposed to new and exciting technologies all the time. Learning new languages, hearing about startups being acquired by this company or that [...]
- “Start It Up” Winner to Leave Central Valley
If you recall, last year there was a contest sponsored by the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which awarded Vine Global $100,000 in cash and $150,000 in prizes.

- Getting Down to Some Fresno Brazilian!
For the longest time I have worked right next to Samba’s Brazilian Steakhouse in Fresno, and have never actually tried the full Churrascaria Brazilian BBQ. Well last night my company treated a contractor to dinner and man, what a treat! From the salad bar items to the meats it was pretty darn delicious. I started [...]
- Fresno Footloose
I read recently about how Fresno is having problems with nightclubs and restaurants in regards to dancing. Is this city nuts? Maybe it’s just plain stupid. Here is a quote from the article: Statistics from the Fresno Police Department show that crime rises after midnight, says interim planning manager Arnoldo Rodriguez. “Crime peaks when there’s [...]

This is something that’s been bothering me for a while. If you weren’t aware, there is a local startup located here in Clovis, CA called PlasticJungle.

- When it Rains, It Pours
I am not one that is used to bad news. Most of my life, a majority of my family has always been really healthy. No major deaths, accidents except for a couple and they have been that: accidents. Recently my dad was sent to jail for something I won’t go into and today I checked [...]
- Using Yelp
Lately I’ve been trying to be as active on Yelp as I can. Every time I go to to a restaurant, store, doctor office I want to give as much back to the Fresno community as I can. So I hope my Yelp reviews will help you too! Check my Yelp link under “Social Networking” [...]
- Abundance of Tattoo Shops
Is it me or do I notice now about 30 tattoo shops on Blackstone between Olive and Shaw? Don’t get me wrong I think tattoos are a great piece of art and still have yet to get myself one but it just seems like overkill. Is the demand so high that there needs to be [...]
