Posted by Charles Godfrey in Just Too Logical on Jul 2, 2010
So I just downloaded the “Vuvuzela 2010″ iPhone app. Its great but to make it even more annoying I’ve made a small enhancement. 
The wife won’t be pleased when Brazil plays the Netherlands tomorrow!!!

Don’t Spend Your Life Undoing Your Life
Posted by Charles Godfrey in Life Lessons on Mar 20, 2010
The other day an odd thought popped into my head. “Its harder to undo something than it is to do it.” At first I wasn’t even sure what I meant by that (and I was the one thinking it) but it eventually started to make sense. Think forest fires. Read the rest of this entry »
Back To Work
Posted by Charles Godfrey in Startups on Mar 12, 2010
Hi my name is Charles Godfrey and its been about 5 months since my last post. What the heck have I been doing you ask? Ok fine you didn’t ask, but lets just pretend you did. Basically I have just been working too much, running after my 1 year old, playing with my 4 year old, and documenting the business plan for a site that will compete with one of the biggest social networks in the world! So we’ll see where this blog goes. For now I’ll remain a bit “anti-social”.

Freedom For Now Or Freedom For Life
Posted by Charles Godfrey in Life Lessons on Jun 10, 2009
Are you choosing freedom for now, or freedom for life?
1 scoop now or many scoops later?
About a month ago I was at the mall and my daughter wanted to go to the kids play area. My wife however wanted to take her to another store to buy shoes. So we gave her the option: play now for “only a little bit” or play after shoe-shopping for “a longer time”. My 4 year old daughter paused for a minute, considered her options, asked me to confirm that she’d still get to play “today” either way, and then to my surprise decided to maximize her play time by shoe-shopping now. I was amazed and proud. Rarely do kids/young people delay instant gratification. This got me thinking of the decisions I’ve made over the last 10 years. I wasn’t perfect, but realized I had made 4 decisions that changed my life forever. Read the rest of this entry »
Microsoft Office Is Stupid And Google Docs Had To Follow
Posted by Charles Godfrey in Just Too Logical, Software on Apr 5, 2009
There I said it! My logical blood cells are reproducing faster than normal lately so bear with me. I’m a front and middle tier software developer by trade, but in reality I’m paid to “think” about how people truly use software. This carries over to all parts of my life but I’ll leave that for another post. With this charter I’ve been thinking about MS Office, Google Docs and all other “office” type software.
