My focus on endurance in yesterday’s Tag post raised some questions which I think deserve attention. I decided to provide six thematically related factoids about myself, but did not want to create the illusion that all I doing here is slugging away on a grueling marathon course. The marathon image works for me because the work I have carved out for myself in this space will take a pretty long time to accomplish. I’m working with a five year planning horizon for this platform. That being said, there is an amazing joy I derive from the interactions with folks throughout these platforms. Along with that, introducing people to these tools and seeing the spark of enthusiasm take hold is another great joy.
The song “Dreamweaver” was popular back when I was in elementary school. I recall the synthesizer effects seeming so otherworldly, so cutting edge. Today I chuckle at how dated those sounds are, and then consider how these efforts will likely look from a distance when revisited with an embarrassed sideways glance.
So be it. The journey of a million miles begins with…and we’ve been ‘off’ for awhile now (take that anyway you please).
