Welcome

I guess it is customary to do an introductory posting to my blog. So let me tell you what you can expect.

After 36 years of writing software it's time to start writing and sharing about what I do. I'm sure it will take awhile for me to find my writing style, but that is part of the fun of this process. 36 years....wow. From typing on a teletype in the back of 8th grade math to creating custom SharePoint portal applications, and a whole lot of technology in between. There is a lot to discuss. So you can expect a mixture of flashbacks to some arcane technology as well as posting about the cool new things I'm learning now.

I've had a great career in computers. About the only thing in common with all the positions I've held has been the keyboard I type on. And even that has changed a lot (using the Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard now). But I have been fortunate to be able to have a job where they pay me to play with the toys I would be playing with anyway. The technology keeps changing, the challenges get harder, but it is still fun to play in this virtual world where we can envision something and make it happen.

So...welcome aboard.
