New Year New Eric
Hello friends, I have good news. It’s a new year and a new Eric. New Year’s is not the best holiday. In fact, I’d argue it’s bottom tier. It gets overshadowed by Christmas. The day before is the real holiday. If it wasn’t for the Grand Daddy of them All, would it even be worth …

A Helpful Blogpost in Every Aisle
In spring of 2018 we had the proudest moment in bteamballer.com history by buying our office space! The office space is really just a TV tray in the living room, but with the office space, we also got a house. With this house came a terrible curse…no, not a spirit or specter, much worse. I …
