So, here we go again.
Welcome to Ray's Weblog, V3
When I first began blogging back in August of 2002, I explained that I was doing so to learn more about the nature of the link-centered medium, and that blogging might represent a new and more effective model of interaction in the "public space".
Indeed, I learned. Through two bouts of blogging - one lasting three months, the other about a year - I learned as much about my own communications rhythms and habits, stumbling blocks and compulsions, as I did about the medium itself.
A great deal has occurred since then.
Groove continues to grow and thrive, but now within the Microsoft Office group. Since late March my new role has had me spending most of my time in Redmond WA, with an occasional week here-and-there working at my Groove office in Beverly MA. With an 'empty nest' now that the kids are both in college, my wife and I are enjoying a new adventure ... as we blend our new life in urban Seattle, with our continuing life in coastal New England, with the tremendous opportunity being afforded to me to make an impact here at/through Microsoft.
Great to see Ray Ozzie back blogging and thanks again Ray for emailing the other Paul Mooney, we'll have to tell him to update your!
