A lot of has been going on since my last post. Lately, as much I want to post about different things I have been doing, just can't find the time to do it.
To start off, me and my cousin we made an attempt to hike up and back to Mt. Mitchell from Black Mountain Campground. We weren't sure if we would be able to do the whole thing, specially the first hour was the most challenging. But we did it. Lesson: start early so you are back by daylight and not hiking through dark, falling 3 times like me. We got tied up on other things for too long. Also rationing food is a must during break and salt cracker is a life saver. When you start the ascend, you might feel a light headache. I felt like I am about to get a headache, best thing to do at that time is to simply breath and be quiet. Below is the video of our journey.

We both are thoroughly excited and have talked about Rim to Rim next year and back country at the Yellowstone the year after.
At the moment, getting back home from a week long summit at work. Several thing were discussed, and one of the big topic was 'Office of the Future.' Not so much what it would look like, but how the end users will do their work. No pointer/solution came out of it. It was more along the line, hey I am working on this just so you know.
My proposal, look at it from a gamers perspective. A gamer wants to play game, he/she has preference on what kind of game to play. Imagine the end user as a gamer. Now, the gamer can play certain games on either PC, Wii, Xbox or PS. Depending on which system meets the need, the gamer will choose a system to play on. So, how can that be applied on corp world. Offer three/four delivery system to the end user to get their job done. User can pick which system they want to work on, but the delivery, experience should be consistent, seamless for the user.
I will into more detail in terms of the system that I believe will be viable. But we see the same approach on other places. Take flying for example. Several airlines offer service. The job is the same on each company, deliver customer and goods to destination. Users pick airlines depending on many factors.
Speaking of flying, on the way to layover had to sit next two a flatulent guy sandwiched between me and another guy, who was drunk, passed out, passing gas and who knows what else. We both were just hoping he doesn't throw up.
