As I write this, it’s 23:21 on January 4th, with only 14% battery on the MacBook Pro without a charger in sight, so, I hope I finish this before the power goes off, if not, sorry for the abrupt ending.
Ok, so here’s the deal, this post is just going to be me talking about my company really, The Dream Apps, not Mac Bundle Box. There’s a few reasons I’m writing this, one is that I can’t stand to have that press release thats currently on my blog, on there anymore, and another reason is that, I just want to share my software life with the community.
My main source of income, currently is Mac Bundle Box, the Mac software promotion website that I run. Each bundle leaves me enough money (if not more money) than I need to last me until the next bundle. (I hear you crying, so why you complainin’) I’m not complaining, I love doing Mac Bundle Box, but, I want The Dream Apps to be my primary source of income, no this doesn’t mean less bundles, I’ll still be doing then just as often.
It just means in the coming weeks and months you will see a lot more great software coming out of The Dream Apps, there will be a couple of new Mac apps and accompanying iPhone apps and there will also be updates to the existing applications. I have a big project coming up this month (January 2009) with another developer, which should get me another step further to living off my software.
So what’s my ultimate goal? Well, in 4 or so years, I want to make the move to New York, I currently live in the UK an a rather large town, but nothing close to a big city. I know, your probably screaming CULTURESHOCK, but I promise, it won’t be like that. I will move there, hopefully get a nice 1 or 2 bedroom apartment in the heart of the city, hopefully down Times Square way, and continue the companies that I run from there, working independently from an employer, as I do now.
My ultimate goal after a couple of years in New York is to get an office, where I can hire another person to work on the software with me under the same name of The Dream Apps, this person would be from the NY area and would work in the office. Hopefully, and I know, I’m kinda asking for god as an employee as I write this, but it’d be awesome if the could Cocoa program and be an Icon Design ninja. (aka. Dream Development Company Employee)
Then a while after that when we have released some more software, hopefully expand, you never know, the possibilities are endless. I would also, over the coming weeks, months and even years like to start up some sort of web project. I have an idea for a Social News website, that would be kick-ass if I ever got it going, but I want to put my priorities on the Mac applications and Mac Bundle Box first.
Ok, so 9% battery left, I’ve not got much left to say and it’s getting kinda late, and I’ve got to get up at 06:00 (AM) tomorrow and lots o’ things to do. So, I’ll keep this one pretty short and end it in a moment. As you all know, I love reading and replying to your comments, and emails, so go ahead and write a comment, even if it’s just to say “Hi!”. Oh, and my email address is: me@christianowens.com if you ever want to get ahold of me, even just for a chat.
See, I told you I’d keep it short-ish 625(ish) words isn’t bad for 20 minutes worth of typing, is it.
C’ya.
