I finally took the time to set up a website, Facebook page and Twitter account for Judge Chiropractic, my father’s business. As you can see from the site, it’s pretty bare bones but does a nice job of covering the basics for a local business (services offered, hours of operation, address, contact information, and an about section for the business). If you search for “Judge Chiropractic” you’ll see that the site already shows up in the first page of the Google search results, ranking #8. I was pretty excited to see this as it has only been up for a week (perhaps that points to value of a domain that directly matches your search term). Equally interesting to see the Facebook page sitting two spots higher (#6) in the search results.

I was really impressed with a recent project that Indianapolis completed to add 8 miles of protected bike and pedestrian lanes through it’s downtown area.

My friend Griffin Caprio and I just released the first episode of Operators Like Us, a podcast dedicated to interviewing entrepreneurs from all walks of life to find out how they got started, what they’ve learned and where they’re heading.

There are a few ways to ride to Milwaukee from Chicago - let’s walk through them

On November 12th, 2012, Erin and I welcomed Eva Marie Judge into the world

Arcadia’s Brute, Kickapoo Kicker, and Dairyland Dare have all been ridden, and the Wisconsin Triple Crown is now complete. Woot!

Over the weekend my friends John, Jordan, Kyle and I completed the Kickapoo Kicker, the second endurance ride in the Wisconsin Triple Crown series. This ride was much smoother than the first one (Arcadia’s Brute) in that the weather was perfect (a cool day with a small amount of wind) and the hills were a bit easier. I also think a lot of it could be due to timing and expectations since the the first ride was early in the season (May) and the first time three of the four of us rode categorized hills.

Rule #1 in sales, make your product easy to buy.

Erin fell asleep earlier tonight with Jack while putting him to bed. I was downstairs busy catching up on a few things when I heard footsteps scampering down the stairs and immediately knew what happened (my wife turns into a pumpkin after 9 pm). Jack found me in the kitchen and made sure to let me know that mommy fell asleep and he needed water before going to bed. I filled up his cup of water and walked with him upstairs. I laid down with him in our bed to avoid disturbing Erin, and he nodded off in after a few minutes. While he was sleeping I leaned down to his chest to listen to his heart beating and just felt so lucky to be his father.

I’m happy to say that yesterday I completed my first century ride, the 2011 North Shore Century.
