There's this great Pixies song going through my head right now with the refrain: "Where is my mind?".  Clearly my blog has lacked focus for a while.  I have a tendency to rant sometimes about the world.  But that's not very interesting to most others and often gets me in a lot of trouble.. this is partly why I took a long hiatus when the war broke out because I knew if I was tempted enough I would spew about it and get myself into more controversy.  And then there have been so many other things happening in my life that the whole Internet seems totally irrelevant to me now.  I've been happily ignoring blogs and wondering if this whole experience was just a passing phase.  I haven't looked but is this sort of a wider phenomenon?  When I look for some of the blogs I used to read a lot of them are dead.

Its summer.  I'm working hard.  I have lots of exciting plans for GWS and we're working on the next version in earnest.  It has been incredible being a part of this project and watching it make its way in the world.  Building v1.0 of GWS was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my professional career.  Thanks again everyone for the encouragement and support.  Its only going to get better from here!

And this blog?  Don't expect too much.  Time to keep my mouth shut for a while (kind of funny if you look at my current blog motto).  I'm considering resurrecting it in some other form someday, hoping to separate out the technology and work pieces from the personal and political stuff.  Not a whole lot of extra time to devote to it these days.

Peace
