Morning commute

My commute recently has been 90 minutes each way with my current project. Its definitely further than I would prefer, but it does afford some good reading and thinking time. Possibly some good writing time...about the things I've been reading and thinking about.



No question that my thoughts recently have been extremely career focused. After the breakup with Alissa, career feels like the next most important thing to go after. Where I pursue my career is still and open question: London, SF, current company, new company...well, all of them, to be honest! What I want to do is more important, and the place I end up will be the place that gives me the best chance of pursuing that career.



Right now, the career is all about developing products and services that bring people together. Mostly because groups of people are more powerful and because group environments are generally more secure for the individuals. Two key technologies that do this today are wireless and social networking applications. There are also plenty of ways to do this without technology. Events, parties.



Two key comments I've read and heard in the last week that resonated with me: "mobile" is the new desktop, and "google and facebook are the next operating systems". I think its time to start doing something with that. Stay tuned...
