It's been a while since I've posted to this blog. OK, it's been a looong while.
No excuses, but some catching up (and explaining) is in order. David Hornick has the best post on why he went off-line for a period, my explanation is neither as poetic nor as convincing.
When I started Notes from the Nexus I chose not to post on topics anywhere near politics or religion. I have also chosen not to post on any topics that came close to Nexus Partners' clients' businesses (this last one is under consideration - I'd enjoy hearing from others their thoughts here). In addition, I have come to a humbling realization that blogging, like all writing, is hard. Harder than I thought.
Subsequent to my last posting I took on the role of adjunct professor at USF's School of Business and Administration. I'd previously written about their International Business Plan Competition, and was thrilled to be asked to teach in their Entrepreneurship Department. Needless to say, while the effort required to teach was well worth it (there is a great community of students at USF), I did get off the track of posting on a nearly regular basis.
Then came a wonderful, family filled summer. We made our annual trek to Big Sur, where we stayed (again) at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. For those of you from California, I strongly urge you to spend time there. For out of staters, you should visit Big Sur, even if only for a day or two! There are two places in California we make sure to visit at least yearly, Big Sur and Yosemite. This summer we also went to Gold Country, spending time in Columbia State Park, which is nearly the same as when the '49ers were digging there. And we had a fun week in San Diego, where the kids attended SeaWorld day camp.
The autumn season began with a flurry of client activity, which has not abated. In fact, I would argue that the economy in Silicon Valley is back - with a vengeance. We have been busy non-stop since the end of summer.
Anyway, for those of you out there reading these posts, Notes from the Nexus is back on the air. And we're planning on working hard to stay on the air this time!
Nice way to return, Steve.
