Starting a small business is tough, but growing one — or just keeping it afloat — is even harder.

For many businesses, getting paid is not the problem – it’s when. Lumpy cash flow is a stressful experience for business owners because the consequences can include delayed paychecks to employees, missed bill payments or stalled growth due to an inability to take on new clients. So, how can business owners avoid putting themselves at the mercy of clients and when those clients mail their checks?

When small business owners think about getting involved in SEO, they often become intimidated (or frustrated). They see massive corporations and large businesses dominating the search engine world, and it is no secret why they are able to. They have access to tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to spend on online marketing, a highly talented full-time staff to oversee campaign management, and perhaps most importantly, they have been around for years, so they have had time to cement their authority in their respective niches.

Twelve months later we have a full-time team and a company successful beyond our wildest dreams. Digital Press, named during one of our many coffee-on-an-apartment-balcony conversations, has been our attempt to empower the world's smartest people to share what they know. We work with carefully selected CEOs, entrepreneurs, investors, and venture capitalists (primarily at businesses doing $10M to $300M in revenue) to share their hard-earned insight with the internet. None of the atrocious writing most PR firms peddle as acumen. None of the ad-speak or jargon nobody finds helpful. Just the hard lessons learned and the personal stories of how these successful people learned them.

Email is not going anywhere. There are 3.7 billion global email users, and that number is expected to grow to 4.1 billion by 2021. What is more, this communication channel is supremely popular: People check their emails multiple times a day, and when you're trying to market your company, you can get your name into thousands of inboxes just by launching an email marketing campaign.

The cost? Email marketing is also super-affordable, which makes it great for small businesses.

I'm finally experimenting with writing macros in clojure. Learning macros is (for me at least) a 4 stage process:

1. Learn to use them (pretty straightforward)
2. Learn to read their implementations (including the quoting)
3. Learning to write them (in progress)
4. Learning when to write them (in progress)

Those last two are iterative; #4 is especially tricky -- the web is full of general considerations ("when a function won't do", "when you want new syntax", "when you need to make decisions at compile time", etc) - but actually making that judgment in practice, takes... well practice.

Hence this exercise. Anyway to the code:

Clojure offers the if-let and when-let macros that allow you to combine a let block with testing the binding for nil:

(when-let [a (some-fn)]  
   (do-something-with a))

(if-let [a (some-fn)]  
   (do-something-with a)  
   (otherwise-fn)) 

I found myself (on some real code) wanting to be able to do something similar with try:

(try-let [a (some-potentially-exceptional-fn)]
  (do-something-with a))

(try-let [a (some-potentially-exceptional-fn)]
  (do-something-with a)
  ArithmeticException ((println (.getMessage e)) 42)
  :else (do-something-by-default-fn)
  :finally (println "always"))

etc.

So I wrote this (non-hygenic) macro that seems to do the job:

(defmacro try-let [let-expr good-expr & {fin-expr :finally else-expr :else :as handlers}]
  (letfn [(wrap [arg] (if (seq? arg) arg (list arg)))]
  `(try (let ~let-expr ~good-expr)
    ~@(map #(apply list 'catch (key %) 'e (wrap (val %))) (dissoc handlers :finally :else))
    ~(if else-expr `(catch Exception ~'e ~else-expr))
    (finally ~(if fin-expr `~fin-expr ())))))

Thing is... I don't if it's a good idea or not. For one thing its not hygienic (it implicitly declares e that can be used in the handler clauses) though this seems the kind of case that sort of thing is for.

For another... I don't know if its correct. It seems to be (I've tested all the scenarios I can think of), but this is kinda like security -- I suspect anyone can write a macro that they themselves can't break, but that doesn't mean its correct.

Some things to note: - e is available to handler expressions
- the local function wrap allows for a complex expression or single value to be spliced in
- any number of handlers can be included
- ':else' (default) handler and ':finally' handlers are optional (as are any others!)

In short: I'm interested in any opinions/feedback that aim at learning steps 3 & 4 (writing and when to write). Fire away!

As Christians we must be aware that we are in a battle of epic proportions, and therefore we MUST 'Stand Firm In The Battle'. To do this, we must have a working knowledge of what plain this battle is fought on, what weapons are at our disposal and the source of our victory. Only then will we know how to stand firm when so much is coming against us from the enemy's ranks. This message was originally aimed at a men's conference, hence the application to men - but, of course, the truths here apply to both genders!

We have been looking at some of the several 'Symbols of the Holy Spirit' described for us in Scripture. Last time in our series on 'The Holy Spirit' we looked at 'The Dove', but this time we will focus primarily on the 'Fire' of the Spirit and what we can learn from this image and reality. How might we quench the Spirit's flame and how can the fire be caught?

In this miracle in Luke 13:10-17, we learn that some physical illnesses can have spiritual causes behind them. The woman in this story had to be loosed from a spirit of infirmity that she had because of something that took place in her life 18 years previously. Healing and deliverance often must come together for people to be made whole. We need to understand how the demonic can sometimes affect our health. The good news is that Jesus can still loose people from the bondage of evil spirits that bind them and debilitate their health and well-being.

We started our 2015-2016 school year today! I know July 13th is early but I wanted our first semester to be completed by Charlotte Emma's due date. We finished last school year mid-May so we have had a 2 month summer break.

I have a regular Elementary School this year. :)
Kate-5th, Claire - 4th, Henry - 2nd, Jack - K, and Sims - K4

And every school needs a mascot or two. Here are ours:
Miles - 2, Luke - 8 months
I'm sure they will provide plenty of comic relief to our days.

Today was probably the best first day we've had. Everyone was excited, worked hard, and there was still plenty of time to play all afternoon.

Here are a few pictures from Charlotte's first week. I'm planning to write up the story of her birth in the next few days so I will not forget anything.
