So, I’m an avid blog reader, and while I have a lot of opinions, I’ve never really felt I had enough interesting to say to warrant running my own blog. But as a self-employed software guy, trying to build a business, I’ve come to realize lately that I’m allowing myself to be too isolated. I’m an introvert by nature, so it’s hard for me to ‘get out’ more.

At the same time, I’ve tremendously benefited from other blogs, ranging from people’s personal opinions to business advice and even just news updates. What I realized was that I need a way to write down what I’m thinking, and when I need advice, I need a place to ask. Hopefully some of the great minds out there will be inspired to answer my questions and even give me unsolicited advice, either through posting on their own blog, or posting comments here.

This is a new experiment for me, and I appreciate everyone who contributes to what hopefully will be a good ongoing discussion.
