blog & work

I used to live two parallel lives: working as a technologist on a digital agency by day and writing for this blog by night. For more than a year I managed to keep them separate, but blogging was an exercise of introspection and through it I learned of many things that I was passionate about. Over time I realized that to be truly happy I had to find a way to align my newly found passions with my areas of expertise. Last week I joined a small company that will allow me to do exactly that.

While I intend to maintain this blog as an exercise on free-thinking, therefore somehow independent from the activity of the company, the fact is that I will be creating technologies that allow global citizens to tap the true power of the web to express their culture and in the process redefine the mechanisms by which travellers immerse themselves in local cultures, facilitating the spread of cosmopolitanism.

This blog will continue to explore the notion of a global culture and perhaps provide the foundation on which technology is justifiable. It will not be a vehicle for releasing any information pertinent to the endeavors of my new company nor will represent the position of the company on the matters discussed here. Any and all points of view are mine alone.

Anyone who plans to get rich by blogging is delusional. One year of advertising revenue on this blog: $90. Discovering your passions and committing to them: priceless.
