I've been spending much of the evening preparing for a "Technology Assessment and Roadmap" discussion tomorrow with a long-time Varrow customer....which served to remind me to what I like the most about my job -- sitting down with people, discussing business needs/goals, and helping them with figuring out how to get "there" from "here".

Scarcity in an IT world
While on vacation in Singapore recently, I took our boys out for a walk in the stroller to help my jetlagged wife get some sleep (we were visiting family on the other side of the world on vacation so were all in various stages of jetlag -- she was exhausted, they wanted to play).

Merry Christmas!
In lieu of my regular post (hopefully to increase from weekly frequency at some point), I'll simply wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Don’t forget the reason for the season (Luke 2:10-11)!

And so it begins…
How to start a blog....quite the question. After a bit of thought, I thought I'd just dive in....a bit about me, the title, what I hope to blog about, and then maybe some randomness. A bit about me... Suffice it to say you can hit LinkedIn if you're really curious....I'm an engineer who started out … Continue reading And so it begins…
