A couple of weeks back, while trying to inspire myself, I made a rather bold goal. My goal was to publish one KickStarter project a month until one was actually funded. I’m supposed to have published my first project by Febuary 17th. Well, that’s not going to happen. Not because of inaction, but because I [...]
I finally figured out why the heck I’m writing this blog. I’m talking to myself. You see, over the last week or so I’ve publicly spilled the beans on various challenges I’m working through including depression, ADD, business, etc. But I haven’t really been sure why I’ve been doing this. There are some things I’ve [...]
When I started my blog I was at a low point. As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m afflicted with ADD and depression. And, I have seasonal depression on top of it all. I don’t remember my SAD being so bad the last few years, but this year has been murder. Perhaps this is because over the [...]

I’ve decided to enroll in an improv class at DSI Comedy Theater in nearby Carrboro. There are a few reasons why I decided to do this, but the initial inspiration came from a video clip I watched recently about QR Codes. I’m working with a few other people from Alagad to launch a new non-profit that will [...]
Hi, I’m Doug Hughes. This is a reboot of my personal blog at DougHughes.net. I used to have another blog here a few years ago where I wrote about personal and technical topics. This was back in a time when I was still getting my company, Alagad, off the ground and a lot of business [...]
