First Class Software, Inc. is our attempt to balance work with the rest of my life. Currently I am the lone full-time employee, while my wife Cindee Andres handles accounting, graphic design, and developmental psychology (for me and the kids). Our goals are:
Live in a peaceful place.
Raise happy (or at least interesting) children.
Work on what juices us.
Make enough money to set us and our kids up financially.
We realize any financial comfort is an illusion, though, so when objects are as passe' as Cobol is now, we're prepared to do lots of other interesting things to make a living.
Our fundamental observation is that the 20th century encourages people to give up responsibility for most parts of their lives without any concomitant benefit. We're not Luddites, we just want to be conscious of the choices we make.
