I began my journey during the dot-com boom of the 90s when I started my own Technology Consulting company after graduating Delaware Valley University with a degree in Computer Information Systems Management in 1998. I was recently flown out to Google HQ for a Lead Program Manager Developer Relations Ecosystem role (I was told I had Googleyness). Currently, I am the CEO & Co-founder for Instamour, an innovative mobile video messaging platform based out of Philadelphia. We also built a B2B version called See2B and are in private beta. I am in the middle of filming a historical Documentary about Northeast Philadelphia as well as the preservation of historic buildings in Philadelphia. You can watch me on FOX Saturday mornings at 10am EST (also on Hulu) speaking on a show called Xploration Earth 2050. I am an avid volunteer for the Philadelphia tech community as a videographer and photographer for Philly New Technology Meetup, StartupGrind (Google Entrepreneurs), and Tech in Motion Events. As a contributor for Technically Philly, I write about the thriving Philadelphia tech scene with a focus on startups. I also write entrepreneurial articles about technology, lean methodology, and the future on my news site Area Tech 51. I mentor other tech startups, college students and business owners on how to succeed using lean methodology. I created a How To Video Series hosted on Youtube. Also, I'm an avid supporter of virtual currency such as Bitcoin and have created a microsite to teach others and spread awareness. I am a drone (DJI Phantom 3 and Inspire 1) enthusiast, and run VideoDrone.me which is my aerial cinematography subdivision of DelphiaFilms.com, my film production company.

jsherman76··on Hugo: A fast and modern static website engine
so after going to your landing page, I'm still unsure of what I get from Hugo? I use bootstrap to build my websites. How does Hugo work exactly?

dog walking is popular nowadays. A lot of people aren't getting married and so they have dogs instead of kids.

Also you could easily drive for uber or lyft.

jsherman76··on Bitcoin Falls Below $400
personally I have been mining Litecoins for 6 months and am just about ready to turn off my rig. Electricity cost vs. difficulty level isn't make it worth it anymore. For the record, I have not sold and don't plan on selling any of my LTC. I will be holding onto them until virtual currency becomes as mainstream as is portrayed on "Almost Human".
