I write to you all in my humble seat aboard China Airline flight # 267. Having just recently finished my last final at Berkeley, I’ve struggled to understand how James, Jeff and I have managed to maintain a social life amongst the 17 hour+ work days we’ve been putting in for the past several weeks. After several consecutive days of running back and forth between Berkeley and Spheer Headquarters in the midst of the final exam season, I am ecstatic to say that I will be visiting some relatives in Hong Kong and Taiwan for the next week or so. Don’t get me wrong…I love Spheer, and I definitely plan on continuing to work on Spheer during my time abroad, but it’s always nice to get some time away to hang out with loved ones. I do think it’s really important for entrepreneurs to get some time away from the work, regardless of how devoted they are. Whether that means spending a few hours with friends at the local pub, pumping some iron at the gym with them, or making a 6000 mile trip to Asia to see your grandparents, everybody needs to hang loose from time to time. At the end of the day, what’s the point of working so hard if you don’t have anybody to share the experiences with?

This is my first post on the Spheer blog, so let me introduce myself. My name is Jeff and I live with James and Conway (for the most part) in the awesome city of San Francisco.
To start with, I think we have all made a lifestyle choice to be entrepreneurs, we certainly hope you have an interest in this topic because we will be telling a lot about our lives, our thoughts, and our values.
Work is fun for us, although we do like to change the scenery once in a while. James mentioned that I like coffee shops… well that’s a drastic understatement. I’m actually a coffee shop junkie – after I moved to the area, I tried out the 4 or 5 coffee shops near our house before settling down on my “favorite” one…It’s a Grind. They have very comfy chairs and tons of tables…and of’course wifi.
If you are ever near Washington street, hope to see you here

so what do these three things have in common? i have no idea. But I’m pretty sure they have something to do with a new Matrix movie coming out… -_- come on, really…who names these things. I have a finance/business background and I’m more than likely not to understand a good amount of the language that Jeff and James casually throw at each other. But still, why would anybody name ANYTHING a mongrel. Unless we were in the cast for the next Harry Potter movie, I’d put money down that the average Joe like myself would point and laugh at somebody who used these three words in their daily vocabulary. With that said, the three of us still had a really productive discussion over dinner tonight. Oh, did I mention Jeff got knocked out in his boxing practice today?
