Last Day At Sun

Today is my last day as an employee of Sun Microsystems. I’ve been here for 9 years.

That’s not an easy thing to say. It only really starts to hit home when you email friends and colleagues throughout the Sun community and let them know.

My email said that there was “a touch of sadness” about the move. I lied. It’s actually a very sad moment, but one that I felt I had to do.

I think that the technology industry, and indeed the whole space around the Internet is hotting up. People are finally getting to grips with the fact that the pace of development on the Net never slowed down after the bubble, and there are some compelling uses of the Internet. I want to be a part of the second phase.

As Jonathan Schwartz said, “the Dot Com Bubble Was Just A Proof Of Concept.” I want to be a part of the productization of the Internet.

So, I’m finally a full-time consultant, entrepreneur, and author.

Keep an eye on my personal blog over the next few months. I have some exciting projects I’m just about to embark on.
