So I have decided to start blogging publicly – my employer, IBM has a very enlightened (compared to some other companies) view and has been encouraging folks like me to engage in public conversations.

So who am I ?

  • I work for IBM in Australia as part of our internal IT (we call it “Business Transformation & Information Technology” orĀ  BT&IT for short) for the Growth Markets Unit on the Strategic transformation of IBM’s internal IT.
  • I have a teenage daughter who is Goth/Emo
  • I am an Australian Citizen, living just outside Sydney
  • I am 48 years old, but still feel like I am 17 (though the mirror tells me otherwise)

This blog is NOT about IBM – there may be some things I reflect on from my work life, considering I spend a significant proportion of my conscious hours working for them on the things that they ask me to work on, and a bit more as well.

The intent of this blog will be a public timeline of what passes by my brain and I feel should be expressed publicly. This could be simple things or more likely some vain attempt by yours truly to actually add a train of reflection and maybe, just maybe a trail of hope for those of you who choose to do me the honour of reading it.

So off to my first real post

and, thanks for reading
