Return to technology day!!!

I just got back from 9 days in Maui. Before leaving I promised myself, and my wife, I wouldn't work or think about work while we were away. Not thinking about work was difficult, but after 2 or 3 Mai Tais, it got much easier!!! If you've never visited any of the Hawaiian islands, I highly recommend it. We spent 6 days on the beach and 3 days in the rain forest. The rain forest was remarkable. The whole trip was incredible. I'll post some pictures to my web site in the next week or so.

For anybody that may have emailed me while I was gone, it'll be a few days before I reply. My inbox was inundated with mail during the 9 days I was away.

Once I get out of the Maui mindset and back into the work mindset, you should see more posts...

thebroken has a new series out that includes an interview with Kevin Mitnick. The self-destructing laptop is very cool.

Why is it so difficult?

I've pondered for several days about what my first blog posting should be and finally decided to just start typing. I have noticed that many bloggers (I think that's what people who blog are called) include a bio of themselves in their first blog. Good idea! I figure this way, when somebody reads something I write, they can easily look at my bio and realize I haven't a clue of what I'm talking about!!! It'll help create context for all my postings.

Although I lived most of my life in Boston, I have actually learned to stop typing with a Boston accent. I no longer type words like caa and yaaad. Although I was quite amused last week when a group I was with stopped at a restaurant here in Scottsdale called Flickas. I thought maybe the Boston accent thing was catching on.

I'm currently working for Microsoft as a Senior Consultant in the Consulting Services group. I have since left Boston and moved to Phoenix where I get to ride my motorcycle almost year round. It's prime riding season now, so you probably won't see another post from me until June when the temps reach 10 million degrees and all outside life in Phoenix comes to a screeching halt. It's really not that bad.
