i’m realizing that i have a desire to do something different, to find a new way or path. though i’ve been an information technologies guy for a long time, the fascination with technology has morphed into a passion for using technology.

it used to be very fun for me to simply make things work. technology used to be a grand puzzle that required understanding, time, and planning to make things work like we wanted them to. innovation and technological progress has changed that drastically. now it’s quite simple to do things that once required expensive equipment or software; or required extensive knowledge that was outside of most peoples specialties.

information technology used to be a passion. it used to be the fuel for my career, fulfilling adventure and advancement at the same time. alas, it no longer plays that central role. the technology is still “cool”, and the puzzles are still there, but i find them more and more irrelevant to my desires.

new adventures are calling me, and though my income is still dependent on an information technology role, i just don’t have the passion for it. my desires are taking me elsewhere. on to new experiences and new challenges.
