Oregon Trip

I am traveling to Portland today. See you tomorrow.

I have a day trip to Portland tomorrow to meet Mr. Junki Yoshida. We are starting a new company together. The company is called Yoshida Business Solutions LLC.

Junk offered me a ownership of the company but I decided against that. It does not make cense for business person like Junki to have a partner. I am just going to license my invention (patent) to Yoshida Business Solutions LLC.

This is my second venture since I stepped down from president position at PSPINC. I will be presenting new product idea to Junki tomorrow, if everything goes well.

This week

I am planning to organize what I supposed to be doing. Mainly, I need to organize all the R&D projects. We need to develop better quality control and documentations.

I am also concerned about the amount time each project is taking. I need to get better reporting from the development team.

I know everybody is working hard, but working hard does not mean working smart. We need to handle the project better and faster without adding cost.

Last day of July.

This month started with the fire at Fisher Plaza. This brought us to operation and direction changes. First of all, we are building a micro data center at the PSPINC HQ building. This building will serve as a fail over facility.

Not having the second data center is a good move, because we do not have enough people to take care of two equally valuable data centers. Plus, having better connectivity with the sound hosting facility under our nose is much easier to manage. Plus whatever the money that we use is now a investment in our facility rather than expense.

We are not going to be building another Fisher Plaza like facility ... But that is exactly the point. I call it a micro data center project. It might be about time data center got smaller and more manageable size.

PS: The heat wave had passed and dogs are happy again.

SAY WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO.
DO WHAT YOU SAID.

Doing things without saying is worse than not doing it at all. In business, one needs to report to people who is responsible.

You need to turn the turning signal on before you make a turn. When you have turn the turning signal on, you must turn.

I learn this today at Seattle Executives Association.
