“What do you want to be when you grown up?”. This is a question we are peppered with throughout our childhood and well into our adult life. Most of us never really have an answer, and if we do it typically seems to fit some stereotypical or pre-determined answer. Does anyone ever really answer with simply – Happy? What is happy? What is grown up? I have children that I’ve asked multiple times in one variation or another – what do you want to be when you grown up? I am coming to the realization that maybe we need to redefine things, a lot of things. Maybe instead of focusing on growing up and what path that should take, may be we follow the path of what brings joy, what fills the soul and heart, what brings peace and happiness. Then let that persuade our path to a job that will also bring security.
As I said on the home page, the intent of this site will be to grow and constantly change. I started it with the intent of a way to bring low cost, easy-to-use software to a few specific fields that don’t typically have access to software that is affordable and still does what they need (kortech). At least not without a lot of out of the box components that aren’t needed and make the software cumbersome. But as I started developing it, I had a few things happen that made me already shift this focus. So instead – it is the intent that this site will be a multi-faceted resource option. Over my lifetime, I’ve met a wide variety of people, in all fields. I have a rather impressive network and my kids often joke that “dad likely has a friend that does/knows about that”.
My background is computers, to this point I’ve made a lot of cool software, had a hand in a few interesting projects. I’ve made sites, I’ve made apps, I’ve made automations to database procedures. I’ve made friends, I’ve made enemies, I’ve made money and I’ve made mistakes. But I’m learning – the most important things I’ve made are impact and change. So this site is born.
