Every year here in Las Vegas, or as my late father always said, Lost Wages, there is a gathering of business owners and Entrepreneur for a convention called Catersource. This year was March 15 and 16th, 2016, and my long time business associate, adventure chef and brother from another mother Chef Brent Shaver, aka A Chef’s Adventure, decided to join me on this culinary world adventure for Las Vegas Catersource 2016. See my primary business, the historic wedding and event venue NOVA 535 Unique Event Space, located in beautiful downtown St. Pete, Florida, allows outside catering for our events. I want to stay up to date with how the best of the world creates, serves, presents and stores is food offerings, plus I’ve been hankering to do more on-site cooking as well. Las Vegas Catersource 2016 sounded like a great way to accomplish all these goals plus spend some time in a fun city with one of my favorite humans.

The Assembly Line $00: An Introduction and Tools of the Trade
My cousin Bert Novilla, a fellow Entrepreneur, and Assembly Language Programmer and Commodore computer enthusiast, has published an interesting article about his efforts, obstacles, solutions and personal obsession.

Commodore computers. I would like to publicly thank Nigel at Commodore Free
for allowing me to share some of my programming knowledge and experience
