It sure has been a while since I wrote something here.  I spend so much time reading other people’s blogs that I don’t take the time to update my own.  Well, since my last post I have resumed my life full time in the real estate business.  I have two guys in the office training to be brokers and I have high hopes for their success.  They are both smart guys and seem to be working hard.  The hardest part is maintaining the time to focus on my own business opportunities.  I knew that training two agents and running an office would deplete my deal flow some but I need to obtain a better balance between business generation and business operations.  I do feel that I have gained some clarity on the short-term future of the business: direction and goals.  Two pretty big things in my book.  I think my vacation in Hawaii helped to clear my mind and allow me to refocus on the task at hand.

I have been staying up to date with the tech news lately.  Some interesting new companies coming up and some interesting deals have gone down lately.  Particularly interesting is Google’s acquisition of Grand Central.  It will be interesting to see where they can take it.  One phone number for the rest of your life + gmail + google calendar - Google is well on their way to be a one-stop shop for all of our communication (and information) needs.  Google will soon be in a position where they know more about each of us as individuals than our spouses do!  Also of particular interest is Brad Greenspan’s recent bid for a 25% stake in Dow Jones.  I’d love to see it happen because it will make for a good story and certainly be more interesting to follow that a Murdoch operated entity.  Not to mention a more tech-savvy operator with a strengthening Asian presence.
