Back To Basics

Obviously, I am getting a lot of questions about /Message, my new solo project, as well as my relationship with Corante. I stepped down from my full-time role with the company, and remain close with Hylton Jolliffe and Francois Gossieaux, who are continuing on there. I am a shareholder, and I certainly want the company to do well. I think that my leaving will be good for them, just like my originally getting involved was good for the company.

The frank reality is that I was getting that cobwebby feeling, the one I seem to get every 18 months or so, when what once was fresh and exciting starts to seem old and stale. Meanwhile, I was interested in the increasing stream of new startups coming my way, and alternate writing opportunities. My head was elsewhere, so stepping aside seemed like the right thing to do all around.

I also I wanted to experiment with other approaches to blogging -- not manifested yet, here at /Message, but changes will be coming in that regard.

At any rate, that is why /Message is here, and what I am up to. Stay tuned!
