Digital Ruby Software – Home  Greetings. I’m Jeff Johnson and I
founded Digital Ruby in 2009 in order to learn how to run a
software company, teach myself mobile programming and expand my
skills and knowledge. I craft iOS apps, websites and server
software.  My latest blog post:  Money is Mana  Oct 11, 2014
I’ve played many fantasy role playing games in my life (Ultima,
Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Age, etc.) and they all have a concept of
magic power, spell points or spells memorized. In these games,
mana gives you the ability to cast spells that perform some sort
of effect. Once the mana is used up, your wizard is more or less
powerless until the mana replenishes.  Growing up I had a
concept of money that it was for greedy people or people with
motives that were not unscrupulous. It’s only been the last
several years that I’ve really come to a more correct
understanding of money. Money represents the amount of effort
needed to accomplish something.  Need to rake up some leaves?
