Recent Aspiration

So you say you want to start a business?

So I says to the guy, "yea, I do!"
Then he says to me, What makes you think you will make some money eh?

So then I say "You see, when a market opportunity exists that has the potential to change the way business does business, is in its early stages of implementation, and there is one company that is doing it well and making good money, I say sign me up."

So what is it you ask?

I want to be a consultant, helping businesses integrate new collaborative technology into their companies. These simple tools, like email in the 90's, can revolutionize the way business operate, and they are giving the software away! That's right, there is good free stuff out there, but small and large companies don't know what to do with it yet.



Here is where I come in. I have heard it said, all the world looks a nail when you are holding a hammer. I do not believe world hunger can be solved by a wiki(well actually if you got enough people involved all finding the domain of their agreement on the issues at hand....), it might, but not yet. I think the greatest application will be to change the way groups work together, the way information is exchanged, like what email did to the paper inter office memo (only email made the annoyance, pain, and arduously non-relevant flow of information much faster, not necessarily decreased the redundancies, inefficiencies, or other silly things that happen in offices).

Do I think wikis are the savior of the information age? They will not perform any miracles. Nor will they give forth any metaphorical wine(or would it be digital wine?). But there will be a revolution. And I want to help in the unfettering of the digichains that currently bind our information to the jail cell walls of old world, old software constructs (tell me you have never saved a document, and unknowingly placed it in the unsearchable miry depths and quagmires in the heart of your computer, with no hope of rescue? The grave sin of not maintaining an anal retentive filing system, shame on you).

This just looks amazing to me. It is so great what can be done with so little, all you need is a $5,000 camera, a $7,000 computer, a few hundred dollars of software, and a few hundred hours of playing around with the exposure settings to get amazing pictures like this.

If I could, this would be the top of the list, from my 30 hobbies.

So I was trying to remember what technique it is called when the photographer is gathering more wavelength light than the human eye can see, and I stumbled upon the name, and this picture at the same time. This kind of thing always happens to me. I think of one thing, and it leads to another amazing discovery(to me anyway!)

Changed Formatting

Ok,

So I have changed the formattting to be a little simpler. I am not the Techie genious that I sometimes think I am. I have also learned I am a starter, not a finisher. Anyways, this will hopefully turn less introspective, more observational and provide people with usefull information. That is the goal anyways.

Wish me luck.
