Jeg havde to billige wake-up lamper fra Harald Nyborg der begge fejlede med samme symptomer: lyset var permanent tændt så snart strømmen var sat til, i stedet for at kunne slukkes og dæmpes. Grunden til nr. 2 blev købt var at nr. 1 fejlede efter garantien udløb, og til 200,- kunne det jo knapt betale...
Oh My Gosh! So, this phrase is oft overused in our sea of texts and emails. But in this case, it is totally appropriate. In the last two weeks we have located a very sweet space, worked on a business plan, signed up for a 2.5 day entrepreneur class at Baylor and had a request for a potential floor plan. And we celebrated like Dr Woody on Psych when we got verified on Google+. Who knew that this would be an accomplishment! Also, we currently have a secret agent on deployment scouting out potential interest on Baylor Campus. It will be fun to get another's input on the parameter and scope of a project like this. I hear I owe her a glass of wine :) But enough fun. We have a few harrowing weeks ahead. "Why?" you may ask. Well, we feel a pressing need to get things on paper for potential business partners because they are starting to ask more specific business (financial) questions. This pressure is good. But I am constantly reminded of our basic premiss, things always get better when done collaboratively. And as such, we feel more pressure than ever to start up a meetup or interest meeting with others who may be interested in creating a club that could form the "consultation committee" for the more basic questions. What equipment should we start with? What classes should we offer at the start? How should we market ourselves and to whom? What layout would best meet our market needs (we're aiming for a 5000 sq ft facility). And what would be fairly priced membership tiers. These are the most pressing topics at hand. I mean, once you get past the ever-pressing topic of funding. So if you have any answers, we certainly have our ears open. Right now I am working on a Business plan and trying to incorporate an economic outlook report published by Hankamer in 2013 . In general, it encourages me. Though, I am one of the unemployed so maybe I shouldn't be. Not sure yet, but life goes on!
Die Idee ein Tasche aus LKW Plane zu nähen ist nicht neu, kann jedoch meistens mit der heimischen Haushaltsnähmaschine nicht umgesetzt werden. Zum Glück haben wir im Kombinat eine Industrienähmaschine von Dürkopp Adler, die keine Probleme damit hat. Da man im Internet kaum Schnittmuster von derartigen Taschen findet, sollte man sich am besten auf diversen Internetseiten von Designern und Händlern inspirieren lassen und dann einfach loslegen. Fehlversuche sind zu verschmerzen, da das Material sehr günstig bei Ebay zu bekommen ist.
