After many years of neglect, I have decided to update my website and change direction a bit. \u00a0Once upon a time, I had the idea of having a website to share my life journey and experiences. \u00a0Then this guy names Mark with a strange German name came along and created this website that everyone started using for exactly that purpose. \u00a0I guess people like blue or something, who knows?<\/p>\n
Anyway, as a result of this phenomenon, my site had no purpose and I had no traffic, and no drive to actually work on it. \u00a0It sat there lazily thrown together with no solid content and an odd mixture of my personal thoughts mixed with business and technical insight. \u00a0I guess I never really followed my own rules of identifying an audience for a project and targeting that audience by presenting them with everything\u00a0they want to see and nothing they don’t. \u00a0Enter – this version of the site.<\/p>\n
My goal with this site, from this point forward, is to consolidate my professional presence into a single place. \u00a0I plan to showcase some of my work over the years and share insight into industry specific news and events, sharing articles, guides, reviews, and so on. \u00a0Hopefully this will make the site less overwhelming for both you, the reader, and me the content provider, and have it be more purposeful then the hodgepodge it once was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
