Well folks, I just checked the health of sneaker.org and believe it or not, it still seems to be live and kicking!
A big thank you to those of you who are still coming here to check out the site and an even bigger thank you to those who have bitched and moaned and kicked me in the butt to actually update the information on the site and start posting again. I might just start doing that RSN (really soon now!).
As things stand right now, a lot has happened — I’ve finished biding time — somehow Stanford let me in to its Ph.D. program, managed to merge my previous company with another firm out of Boston and get myself disengaged from being commited to my company full time, relocated to gorgeous and sunny Palo Alto, California and started at Stanford.
And oddly enough being in this environment has not only given me enough to think about but also enough to talk about — but given that there are lots of smart people around me I enjoy having discussions more than posting things, that may be one of the reasons I haven’t been posting here as often. I definitely do like it better when someone is willing to argue with me and question me — after all that is what stimulates critical thought đŸ™‚ But I will start posting things on here in the hopes that it will stimulate more interaction both online and off (latter is turning out to be preferrable in my attempt to not get sucked into geekdom…)
