Come on, admit it... we all do it... especially technologists! We find a bright, shiny new piece of technology and then...

Funny that Anne mentions teenagers and the evolving world of technology. My 15 year old (happy birthday!) sent me seven text messages in the time it took to write this blog entry. Facebook is her universe, but email is strictly for reading information from adults and moving attachments from place to place.

When I started reading Anne’s comments on being a pack-rat, I immediately thought of my desk. Deep drifts of contracts, proposals, white papers, schedules, memos, business cards, post-it notes and industry publications that rise and fall like the tides. I always marvel at colleagues offices that are pristine and organized. The interesting thing is that I can normally put my hands on a piece of paper without a lot of thought, so in my case, this “classification model” might not be so bad.

Jesse beat me to “Hello World” (for the non-technologists out there, getting a computer application to print “Hello World” is a typical first exercise when learning a new programming language). In any event, it’s a pleasure to be able to contribute to this blog from a technology and process viewpoint. I’m responsible for the Technology Consulting Practice at Access Sciences and have the opportunity to work with a very talented team who bring a wide-range of skills and experience that span the technical and business worlds.
