Joshua's Thoughts

We’ve been tossing around the idea of revamping the support section of the QuickBase website for some time now. Yesterday, I took an hour and mocked-up what I thought could be one version of the support page. If you look closely, you’ll see that I borrowed from both the TurboTax and the Apple support sites.

on my way home from web 2.0 nyc, i met a very nice gentleman by the name of timothy carbery. he happens to be the president of axis technology, a consulting firm in boston, ma.

the conversation started when he noticed me reading a book on flex. turns out, axis does a lot of work for the financial sector that uses flex - which i though was pretty cool. they use salesforce (which of course prompted me to plug quickbase).

he was kind enough to even hear some of my business ideas. very cool! the big takeaway from timothy was that at some point, i need to take “the dive” and give it a shot.

i always like meeting successful people, especially when they’re kind enough to spread their knowledge to those eager to learn. here’s to networking! cheers.

i’ve put together this video as a demo of “intuit checkout” - the idea that won the last intuit ideajam contest.

intuit checkout is a low-cost point of sale hardware/software solution that uses an arduino prototyping board and a parallax rfid reader.

all of the item data associated with the unique ids on the rfid’s are stored securely in a quickbase online database.

Here is a QuickBase banner I made for TheAppGap blog.

This is a print ad I created for the 2008 National Small Business Summit brochure.
