Technology, Hobbies, and New Ideas

An avid techie since childhood, I've finally decided that it's time to establish my own presence on the web, as opposed to outsourcing it to a bunch of social network pages.

Here you'll find musings, my professional history, and anything that catches my interest.

As will become obvious as this page grows, I'm an Apple user, through and through:  When I work, I use the best tools for the job.  Sometimes that's Microsoft-based, sometimes it's Apple-based, and often, it's Linux-based.  Once I'm at home, though, I find that comfort, simplicity, and ease of use trump all of the flexibility in the world.   

Cool counts for a lot.  Simplicity counts for a lot more.

 

Hello? Is this thing on?

Wow, it’s been a while! Between professional concerns and the like, I decided to let this blog cool off for a bit. So, what’s changed?

Mostly, I found something I wanted to talk about: Storytelling. When I started this blog, it was a place for me to post my thoughts on technology, on where things were going, all of that. Some of that might still come up, but at the end of the day? I like to tell stories, and with a switch to Presales Engineering (also known in some circles as Technical Sales,) I’ve found that there’s a lot of things in common between the creative process and the sales process.

What does that mean for this blog? Well, I’m going to focus on the intersection. Where my hobbies and my work overlap, and how each side makes me better at the other.

In the coming weeks, I’ll go over something a little eccentric, but that’s been near and dear to me for quite some time: How to run a Tabletop Roleplaying Game Like A Sales Engineer.

Stay tuned!
