A few months ago I was working in a job that really limited what I was allowed to say and do online, and it really bothered me. When my friend called me to let me know he was moving on from his current job, I jumped at the chance to move on to something new; something more freeing. When I gave notice at my previous job, I was let go immediately and was suddenly on a two and a half week vacation. I hadn’t had a vacation in over 10 years, and suddenly I now had two weeks with nothing to do.
Luckily, I was in the process of moving, and at the end of my vacation I had the first ever PAX East to look forward to. I was looking to restart the blog, but, wanted to make sure things would be cool at the new job with me being social. As it would turn out, my bosses are actually looking for me to do more of this stuff for them.
With being on hiatus from writing anything other than technical manuals and release notes for such a long time, I think I need to practice my writing before taking on a corporate blog or doing anything company oriented.
So, over the next few weeks this blog may be a little rough; it may need a little bit of editing; it may even need a better writer. I’m going to try my best to get back into the swing of things and improve my writing over time.
I thank you for your patience and I hope you are willing to participate in the various discussions, polls and conversations that this blog will encompass. This will not be the only place for this conversation, however, as it will live across several platforms including LinkedIn, FaceBook, and Twitter.
Please feel free to give me feedback and I look forward to getting back to you.
