I need to get better at this content creation thing. I set my standard for an actual post so high that I can never really write one from start to finish. Sorry, but you’re going to get another retarded personal entry.
Yes. So this is indeed my vacation #1 of 2007. Coming to Cincinnati was definitely the right thing to do… seeing friends… rethinking the future… almost a career “retreat”. Anyway, here comes the meat. Truth be told, I don’t normally choose to be a jerk. But I think what happened with this project that Alex and Chris had, wigdets… I wanted the project to be something more… more than what it was. I actually wasn’t too sure of the project to begin with, and one of the main reasons for coming on board was just to be a part of a project that friends would partake in. I had a wonderful time the one meeting I got to sit down with the founders of the project, as I heard about their motivations in structuring this project. I was, at one time, excited at what it had to offer.
But… I’m not really sure what happened, but I lost interest. Fast. The things that I was going to do for the project… I never really followed through. I guess I could partially blame laziness for this one, but I have a feeling that there was a larger issue at play: wigdets wasn’t my project. I never felt like I could be at equal with these other guys. Also, wigdets wasn’t something I conceived. Heck, I didn’t fully understand the technologies required to build such a system, nor did I feel comfortable enough to preach on the features of the system. I apologize publicly that I didn’t come to this realization fast enough. But I have a feeling, Chris and Alex are and will be okay without me.
As for me, the game is afoot. I’m glad I’m learning a bit more about myself…
Tomorrow is another day. Rock rock rock.
