Getting in Touch
28 03 2009There’s too much pressure. Pressure to expand on the summarizing statements that I always begin with and to close with some enjoyable sentiment that lives up to some mysterious expectation. It’s almost like I feel the need to cater my words to what I think people are expecting to read. Meanwhile, I secretly want to tell you all about how beautiful the weather is and why I’m content with not having anything “exciting” planned for today. I’ve never been one to over analyze this type of thing – certainly not enough to force me into some sort of writer’s block. I honestly think I’m just really out of touch lately.
I’ve been working on some new initiatives at work that are really engaging and it’s been lot of fun. I’m leading our new open-source initiatives and we’re all working hard to polish off the first release of our upcoming Framework (code-name “SnapDragon”) in time for the Austin CodeCamp this May. I’m also working with our Creative Director and my friend Rex to revamp our website and create a company blog as well. Needless to say, I’ve been pretty busy.
I wish I could explain to you everything that has happening with me recently but I don’t know where to start. I’ve been really contemplating some heavy topics, each of which I could probably write a few pages and probably will in the upcoming weeks. Everything from tacit knowledge to reflecting over this past year, there’s a lot to talk about. Undoubtedly, you’ve seen the new look and feel of my blog and you’ve noticed a sudden change in the tone of my writing. I want to introduce the new tone with a few posts and really get back to writing more often – even if it’s a random thoughts that I had while I was driving to work.
In the meantime, play around a little and discover some of the posts that you may have missed. I’ve had plenty of these posts written and let them sit around since I never had a place for them but with the new direction of my blog, I’ve included them in the various categories. I hope you’ll take the team to read a few and open up some discussion. You know how much I love to talk about these things.

Josh, you need to post more if you want to live up to that!
