April 20, 2007I'm still alive ...I'm still alive and well - but this blog is almost 6 feet under.I've been busy with my life, not a Second Life, my life. My career and my family have both been keeping me busy lately. We have our 3rd in the oven and I was recently promoted to Vice President of Product Development for Palo Alto Software. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this blog doesn't get a lot of love when life takes over. I was doing some house-cleaning in Google Reader yesterday and I noticed that I'm not the only blogger that has a hard time keeping up - a lot of blogs have gone dark since I last cleaned house. You can draw some parallels between this blogosphere ecosphere and the rain forest ecosphere - the hard woods (Engadget, LifeHacker) are here to stay for a while but the forest floor plants (my blog, and blogs like it) are constantly appearing and disappearing as the forest evolves. It feels very organic - healthy for the blogosphere in many ways. By the way, the hard woods do eventually come down. With that said I'm still committed to this blog. Why? Because I love the notion of blogging, the written word, and the way the Internet makes it available almost instantly across Planet Earth. I also believe technology professionals, like myself, need to maintain a presence in the blogosphere. We need to support blogging because the information exchange it supports speeds innovation along. I'm going to be focusing my posts more on technology and less on popular culture and the other things that amuse me as I move this blog forward. Additionally, I'm a regular contributor over at the Bplans Blog, where you can read what I have to say about startups, small business, business planning, and strategy. More to come!
