Now that Techweek is wrapping things up on its final day, I thought it would be a good idea to review some of the happenings in the past week. Everything from the expo, to the start up city competition, Techweek supplied a fun, and fact-filled week at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. While opening day [...]

Over the past month, SingleHop has been extremely busy.  With the new investment from Battery Ventures, the move to the new office, and the addition of many new SingleHoppers, including myself, we really haven’t had the time to just sit down and enjoy our new space.  That’s why our great office administrator, Trey Maclin, thought [...]

It’s conference time, and SingleHop is gearing up for TechWeek 2012, right in our Chicago backyard.  These types of events are important to the industry, we get the chance to learn new technologies in the business, check out the competition, and more importantly, we get to interact with our clients. Meeting the people that make [...]

The fundamentals of the Bill of Rights are the exact same as [...]

I am happy to report the good news does travel fast and far! I am even happier to report that good news does not always mean dollars and cents. Our two co-founders have been extremely generous over the past 5 years donating to a number of charities. The best part is, they do it because [...]

I am thrilled to announce that we will have a third data center opened and ready for business sometime in May 2012. Currently, our two data centers are located in the Chicagoland area but that is about to change! It looks like our fearless mascot, Poindexter is heading west. The newest data center will be [...]

In a previous post I alluded to a recent victory our data center technicians and development team captured. Now maybe I’ve been watching too much March Madness, but this was an absolutely unbelievable accomplishment by some of the hardest working guys in the industry. I am very grateful that our Director of Facilities alerted the [...]
