Inspiration comes from many places…
For me, I get inspired by software. I’m not sure why, but truly innovative software (not just new releases of existing software like going from Office 2000 to Office XP – NO Smart Tags didn’t inspire me) really tickles my fancy. Now, new and innovative software coupled with new and innovative hardware takes me right to the edge!!!
Now, I’ve been inspired by many things over the years…Once upon a time I was inspired enough to write a book (silly me)…since then, I’ve been cautious because I found book writing somewhat painful for the general return on investment (I love to write…but not 5 hours a day from 9pm to 2am 6 days a week for 4 months with a new born at home). Now, I’ve got ants in my pants again…oh boy. Tablet PCs….Office 11….Exchange 2003…Sharepoint 2002….I’m gonna explode!!!!
But, spring is here...summer will eventually come and there are better things to do over summer then sit in my basement all night long writing for $2 per hour. And by the time summer is over...well all those who did choose to sacrifice their social and family life for some aspect of glory will have beaten me to any original idea I may have had.
Oh well...I should try to find inspiration in horses.
