okey dokey then...

so thanks to k, i feel all of this pressure to say something interesting now. i had no idea i'd be compared to lost. i've never seen the show, which makes the reveal all the more vexing. but maybe i brought it on myself. i built the interest and anticipation.

mmmm.... pepsi.

ok. this is one of the things i'm doing that hopefully is going to change my life - for the better:

i'm about to become part of the problem. a capitalist bastard. that's right. i'm giving birth to my very own company. that's the simple explanation. the details surrounding the company are a bit more complex. my company will likely not exist on its own. it's part of a larger strategic partnership with four other companies. each of these companies will bring their own expertise to deliver one product/service. unfortunately, i can't say exactly what that product is due to confidentiality with the other partners, but i can say that it's revolutionary for north america and that it involves the technology to deliver internet service.

the primary company owns the rights to the technology for all of north america. it's been tested and proven in parts of asia, africa and europe. the support companies, including mine, will... well, support the primary company by providing expertise in areas like technology management and installation, fulfillment, sales, and marketing (that's me).

so that's pretty much it. or at least all i can talk about until we've launched and the technology is revealed. it's a huge risk because we'll be competing directly with canada's two largest internet providers. so one of two things could happen. i'll end up penniless on the street corner wishing they hadn't torn down the crack house across the street. or we'll be a huge success and i'll be a spoke in the wheel of one of canada's largest isp's. let's hope for the second one.

oh yeah, and also, i'm having a sex change.
