I admit I haven’t had much time to update my blog for quite some time. It has been all over the map in the past couple of years and I thought I would wipe the slate clean, renew my focus on what this should contain, and just continue to blog about it incessantly until:

1. you get bored with it
2. I get bored with it (again)
3. the blog posts run into legal issues and I’ll be forced to shut it down

I am hoping for c) because that would mean that I’ve ranted and raved about some topic which is quite controversial but has drawn the attention (positive or negative is fine) and criticism to be worthy of scandalous status!

Most likely, I’ll end up blogging about topics that are fairly mundane and uninteresting to the majority of the readers who happen to stumble upon here (yes, all 8 of you!) and bore them silly with my non-witty prose. In all honesty, it will be the beginning of a personal journey as I embark on a separate path in life that will likely surprise those of you who know me (that narrows the 8 on here down to 2). I’ll continue to blog about professional topics that I’m involved in with my current role @Facebook.

I managed to be lucky enough to work here after the common stock has become worthless to employee # 800+ (everyone knows if you’re beyond employee # 100, the likelihood of owning your own Lamborghini Gallardo – I’m not greedy – is close to nil). The work, nonetheless, is quite interesting and the pace dynamic enough that things can get accomplished in a matter of hours. But there’s just enough work politics and red tape to allow you to feel right at home (after consulting for many years at old-world institutions) and move along on projects in 3 month spurts.

Data Warehouse, Business Intelligence, ETL (pronounce this “etel”, like “metal” ), my love of tinkering with my car, golfing (yes it IS a sport damnit!) and whatever interests that fancies me. (If you don’t like it, go get your own blog.)

I hope you stick around and if you happen to see some Google Ads, please go ahead and click them to help me out in paying the bills. Companies don’t pay what they used to and I don’t get the perks of consulting any more, where the client picks up the tab for silly expenses like $12.95 soup + $5 delivery charge to your hotel room.
