Jeb Banner commented on Douglas Karr's blog post Are you really an Entrepreneur?"good point Doug. I was still refer to people that are starting new companies not going to work for someone else. Going out on your own is always a risk."
Jeb Banner commented on Douglas Karr's blog post Are you really an Entrepreneur?""I believe an entrepreneur is someone who risks their personal wealth, personal well-being, and while everyone around them advises them not to do it... they still do."
So, according to this logic, I'm not an entrepreneur unless…"
Jeb Banner replied to Pat Coyle's discussion The Drudge Report: ugly page, or one of the best designed sites on the Web?"Personally I never visit the Drudge Report. Mostly because of the way it looks. I find it intolerable. Same reason I never use Craig's List. What a mess.
I'm not denying that these sites have huge audiences and are working but they…"
Jeb Banner replied to Victoria Finch's discussion Is it because I'm Black?"The title of your blog is also the title of one of my favorite songs/albums by Syl Johnson but I'm not assuming you know that! :)
The core issue is that whites and blacks aren't sure how to interact on a superficial level- socially. White…"
Jeb Banner replied to Pat Coyle's discussion Who will benefit the most from the new health care legislation?"I think there will be pleasant surprises for those that opposed it as well as unexpected disappointments for those supported it. In short, it ain't perfect but better than the status quo.
All this talk about "freedom dying" and…"

In Defense of Indianapolis
I posted this on my Indiana music site www.musicalfamilytree.net but I think y'all Smoosiers would appreciate it as well. There are so many great things I didn't cover in the blog including Smaller Indiana but I figured I could at least get the ball rolling.

I starting looking at their packaging a little and it hit me- they are inviting us to not only drink their beer but to be part of their company's culture.

Thoughts On Hiring
I posted a blog on the Small Box website about our approach to hiring. We received a couple interesting comments and I thought some Smoosiers might enjoy reading the post and comments.
Basically the blog argues for starting new hires part time to make sure there is a professional and cultural fit. It also argues for the benefits of working with friends. Obviously this is approach which works for us but may not for others. I'm… Continue
