A year ago today I was in Ft Walton Beach, watching my father die. Not fun blog material, but there you go. We took a couple road trips around north Florida discussed paleontology and such… but prolly not enough, in the end. If I had to advise folks who still have access to their progenitors, I’d say “spend all the time you can, cause it might not be much”. Ask all the questions you can. Get the history. And listen.
Two years ago today, my Brother in Law was showing me my first geetar chords - G, C, D, of course, and a strumming pattern: Down down up up down up… and now that provides entertainment, inspiration and outlet to whatever moments I can allow it, which is quite a few.

My professional objective is to come up with the most amzing experiences imaginable.
Imaginable.
Think about that word for a minute.
Imaginable.
Not experiences we know how to build… Not even experiences we know.
Just great experiences which will make people say “that was amazing! I want to do it again, and I’m going to tell everyone I talk to about it.”
And I don’t worry about who’s getting the credit; whose “incentive compensation metric” is getting boosted, ’cause that kind of thinking leads to the siloed brain-rot that drives disintegrated experiences that customers hate.
The most amazing experiences: that’ what I’m going to work on.

So I decided that a new website is in order. Why? Well, the current most recent version of my site was made in 2003, and a lot’s changed since then.
First off, I’m not in the business of providing custom solutions anymore: that site really showed the range of services I had been providing my clients for over a decade and was intended to bring in new clients. As I’m currently employed I’m not really looking for clients, and my focus has narrowed from being a full service integrator to living up at the “Fuzzy Front End” of the development practice, where I start at the strategic planning point and pretty much back off once concepts have been approved.
