Yikes. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. What’s worse is, I’ve mentally been writing lots for the blog in my mind over the past year. But I fell into the trap of wanting it to be something good, or worthwhile, which of course meant I never got around to publishing anything (I should have remembered this lesson, that good is the enemy of at all).

So, I am making a point of writing a pointless blog post, which should hopefully jolt me into writing something interesting in the near future.

I left Live Current Media a short-while ago (although I am still consulting for them). I just went to Startup School this weekend in San Francisco and got what I wanted, energy, inspiration and some knowledge. I am at that stage again where I’m trying to figure out what I want to do next. I have the chance to take some time to carefully think about what it is that will inspire me for the next 5-10 years (incidentally, I’m still trying to get around the fact that your horizon influences your goals so much. To date, I’ve been fairly short-termist, thinking in a maximum of 1-2 year blocks. But doing anything significant requires you to think in much bigger chunks of time, which I am not used to).

To that end, I’m currently reading Awaken the Giant within after I stumbled on this fantastic Ted talk, Why we do what we do (via Harjeet).
