Last week I enjoyed having breakfast with Charlie Wood, a fellow Vignette alum. I’ve been working on communicating the ideas and visions I see on the net for the past year or so, and it’s a nice change have someone show recognition on the other side of the table instead of squinting at me like maybe I forgot to take my meds.

So, a quick question. If I enjoyed the meeting so much, why has it taken me this long to blog about it? It’s a very good question. I’ve been consuming mass quantities of data as I try to figure out a strategy for not drowning at the feed hydrant. I’m committed to making this transition, but I can tell that I’m currently in over my head and wiping out more than I’d like. If I started trying to write what I thought was relevent, I wouldn’t shut up.

So, I’m just going to limit myself to one more link in this post. Check out the O’Reilly ITConversations pick-of-the-week, if you haven’t already. Marc Smith was onto something really keen a year ago. I don’t see nearly the ripples on the surface of the pond that I’d expect from this kind of insight. Once again, I ask myself: am I delusional, ahead of the curve, or just looking in the wrong places?
