Blog Directions: A Year and a Half Later

Wow, time really does fly...especially when you're flying.

Last year I logged just over 100,000 miles on airplanes.  It's a little slower this year -- I've flown just under 40,000 so far.  And yes I'm tired.

My life's changed a lot since I began this blog.  I was a DBA for a regional university with a strong interest in all things data quality/security.  I've evolved into a sales engineer for IBM, working closely with DBAs, Architects, and Directors for customers around the country.

I'm still me, always interested in all things data, but the way I use my technical skills has changed over time.  I think it's time for this blog to do the same.

What does that mean?  Excellent question!  Maybe in a month or two I'll figure that out.  Penelope Trunk writes "Don't get hung up on topic. As in dating, you'll know when you've found one that's the right fit."  I'm at that stage again....

Since I travel so much you can count on seeing posts about the road warrior life.  I'm still a data geek, and will always include posts along that line.  Maybe some posts about life as a sales engineer role too...

More to come.
