Yes, because I’m a mighty industrialist (aka Ubermensch) and the world will fall down if I stop writing. ;-) Okay, enough picking on the Randians. Sorry for the radio silence. A quick update:
I got back from Des Moines last month and the next day had a board meeting for the non-profit I work with. As treasurer, I went to review the financial situation based on the projections we finally received. Sure enough, the detailed projections were in line with the back-of-a-napkin ones that I had presented earlier, i.e., dire. The only real solution was to close a significant portion of our operations, which we did. Unfortunately, that was also the part of operations that K cares most about.
So for the past three weeks, I’ve been working with some other folks, including another board member who resigned after closing operations, to form a new non-profit. It’s been a little hush-hush, but we did go public today. We’ve sent out a press release, have a web site, are doing the twitter thing, and even have a facebook page. Yes, the last two make me feel dirty, but what the hell.
My part’s been largely working the administrative angles with K. I’m the Board Secretary, so I’ve filed the incorporation paperwork and will be sending off the IRS Form 1023 this weekend in order to get our official tax-exempt status. We got word yesterday that we were incorporated on July 7th! (BTW, it’s very cool that information goes online at the NC Secretary of State faster than it goes out in snail mail.)
My colleagues are working with their friends on the branding, etc. Hopefully we’ll be announcing a coming out party soon.
So, you see, I wasn’t really hangin’ with Galt – I’ve just been working on things I couldn’t be public about until now 🙂
