An Interesting Crossroad

Hanalei Bay Sunset – Princeville, Kauai, Hawaii

A new colleague asked “do you have a blog?”. Well, the answer to that is “Yes. Sort of.” I have 2 blogs that I started then abandoned. I set up those blogs to be contextual; they fit the conversation that I wanted to have for the purpose. One was called “VisualizeIT” and was created during my time at Microsoft, where I was working through a topology control, a widget that enabled the visualization of many servers across an enterprise, and their overall health state. Another blog I created was around photography, though with a dearth of great photo domains out there, I quickly abandoned it.

Here’s what I discovered: Those were not about me. I since have answered my friends question with a flurry of activity to create this conversation. I spend a significant amount of time talking with folks from a wide cross section of life – technology executives, CEOs, design teams, small business owners, folks involved in leadership (business, student bodies, non-profit organizations, church), and perhaps my favorite category, mentoring connections. Hence, this blog that I will attempt to not abandon (with copious amounts of Sulawesi) shall be a third attempt at having a conversation around the topics that exist within the headspace that I find myself in these days.

Thanks for reading. Join me in the journey.
