I'm not dead and Curve is hiring!
Woah. Time seems to have sped up. Lately I’ve been laboring in the details and sometimes when you’re deep in the trenches it’s difficult to smell the roses… or blog.
Speaking of details, I wanted to share a new job posting we’re putting up for our Director of Infrastructure role. It’s a vital role because it relates to data security and server uptime. And, we...

Delivering Happiness One Customer at A Time
On my flight home from Toronto to Calgary tonight I read an amazing book by Tony Hseih, the CEO of online shoe retailer Zappos.com.
Zappos is one of my favorite Internet companies and it’s no doubt that Tony is one of the truly great entrepreneurs of this generation. At 24 he sold LinkExchange for $265 million to Microsoft and then became the CEO of Zappos.com, where in 10 years he grew...

She’s part of a dental revolution and doesn’t even know it.
Eat Your Own Cooking!
Working away at our head office in Orem, Utah and something interesting just happened:
To me, there’s little more important than eating your own cooking. The point is this: If your cooking is so bad that you won’t eat it, how do you expect others to?
In Curve’s case, it’s web technology. Why are we telling dentists they have to move to the web? Because it’s what...

CDA Spring Meeting in California
I spent the last few days at the spring meeting in California with our VP of Marketing, Andy Jensen. Andy knows how to pack a schedule; for three days we had meetings from the early morning to the late evening, mostly talking about what’s new with Curve and the big things that we have on the horizon.
There were really three key messages we tried to impart to the thought leaders on this...

WatchI had breakfast in Brooklyn, NY with Dr. Jay today. Very impressive guy with lots of ideas on how we can make health care better.
He’s even been featured and one of the top 10 most creative people in health care by Fast Company. Cool.
