About Steve
Welcome to stevienova.com. Since 2004, I have enjoyed blogging about programming, business intelligence, SharePoint, Microsoft, Google, Apple and everything to do with technology. Thoughts on life, the world or my new favorite brew, may also be shared. I currently work at Trek Bicycle Corporation, managing both the BI team and .NET software dev groups. The opinions on this blog are solely my own.
I live in Sun Prairie, WI with my girlfriend and our 2 year old daughter. Besides my love for family and technology, I am passionate about music. I play the piano, guitar and I also sing. Everyday I learn something new, and I hope to share it with you.Sponsors

Random Things around the Net Week of 02/14/2009
Yammer iPhone app goes Open Source – Yammer is a kind of Twitter clone, but for your company. I believe it is made by the same people that created Geni.com. Pretty cool that it is open source, just another way to get a good idea on how to build iPhone apps. WordPress has their app…
