Introducing ViaVivo

As I mentioned about a month ago, I have decided to pursue a start-up opportunity. I am pleased to announce that I am a co-founder and the Director of Technology of ViaVivo, Inc. We are an eLearning development firm focused on creating advanced instructional simulations and serious games.

Our new office is located at the Westpark office complex at Steck and Mopac. We have a few desks, DSL with wireless connectivity, printers, telephone, microwave, small refrigerator, and the all-important coffee maker. And the best part – employees are equipped with all new MacBook Pros! I’m terribly excited to be developing once again on the Mac. Coding is such a joy.

Our first task at hand is to assist a client with a few games going into their curriculum this fall. Afterwards, we’ll take some time to focus on marketing, branding, and strategy – basically the material that will populate our stark Web site: www.viavivo.com. We also have a few other projects waiting in the wings that will need our attention and there’s the outstanding logistical matters that come with starting a new business.

I started going to work full time this week. I’m doing pretty well but usually by 2pm I’m pretty tired and need to head home for a nap. Fortunately, I can continue working afterwards from home. The doctors had given fair warning that healing would take a lot out of me so proper diet and rest is important. My calorie intake has slipped a bit so I’ll need to bring a bit more food to the office.

Once again, I’m very excited about this opportunity and I look forward to sharing more with you all in the future.

P.S.: For those of you wondering, via vivo is latin for “the path of life”.
