I hate to start things off with such a bland standard defacto beginning to a blog, but this is how it starts. Blogs have been around for awhile now, and are crazy popular. I am not sure where people find the time to post on blogs, but I myself thought I wanted to give it a go. I plan on discussing many things, from work related topics like Ecommerce, application development and Coldfusion, to personal things like my family, fishing and sports. To introduce myself, I am Paul Giesenhagen, owner of QuillDesign.com, makers of SiteDirector a Coldfusion shopping cart application. It is currently in v4.0 and has been around since 1999 (in one form or another). My family consists of Jan my wife and our current two kids Paul (III) and Grace. We currently have one that we are not sure what it is, it's due to join us on March 25th, 2007. With our first two children, we peeked early on to find out if they were going to be boys or girls, but on this third (surprising) one, we decided to wait and see with surprise. For our newest member, we have almost decided on names for him/her if it is a girl, Josey, if it is a boy, Jack (or possibily Ely, but I am not a fan of that name myself). I also am an avid fisherman for the elusive Striped Bass. Our fishing team StriperCrew (www.stripercrew.com) has been fishing together for the past 3 years and we can't get enough of it. Stripers are so awesome to fish for, but I will get into that later on!
