Blogging back online!

I've finally returned to my blog. I stopped nearly a year ago, as I began to negotiate the sale of ClickShift to WebTrends - didn't want to step on any landmines at the last minute! Once inside of Webtrends, I didn't want to run afoul of silly corporate blogging guidelines or have my voice edited to be more PR worthy, so I went on hiatus.

I left WebTrends two weeks ago and am now working full time on a new insurance company that will fundamentally alter the economy. It's high beta (very risky), but it will be very cool if it works out. More details - including the venture financing expected to close shortly - soon, and I'll blog about our progress over the next several months.

I'm looking forward to blogging again. Writing is a good mechanism for me to organize my thoughts and crystallize my learning. After flyswat, writing a long paper on the development of the company helped prepare me for the second company. (I wrote that paper under the guidance of Joe Holt, a then-Chicago professor who now uses excerpts of it in his Notre Dame B school classes). As I begin round 3, reflecting on round 2 will definitely be useful.
