After a year-long sabbatical during which I circumnavigated the globe (Mexico, Montana and Wyoming, Germany, Turkey, Thailand, and Indonesia), I’ve returned, recharged and ready.  For anyone who has never taken a long break, I cannot recommend it highly enough.  In the quiet spaces, I finally found peace with emptiness and stillness, and thus, myself.  With the people I encountered, I gained a deeper understanding of humanity and my sense of purpose.

Now that I’m back, I find myself full of energy.  I am patiently awaiting that moment where I find clarity on my “next big thing”.  In the meantime, I continue to try to monetize my various projects: BudSock, a few iPhone applications, and intermittent contract / consulting work.  If you have a contract-based project that you think I’d be interested in, please let me know.

Longer-term, what I’m looking for is an opportunity that lies at the intersection of information technology and green business.  It seems likely that I’ll start my own venture, but I am, of course, open to other early-stage companies.  If you know of any, please let me know.

Onward and upward …
