As you might have noticed, I took the month of June, and part of July off from writing this blog. The only excuse I really have is that I had three books that were all do to the publishers during this time. For the most part, they are done, and we are just editing them now, so I have time to get back to writing blogs. Another change is that we have now changed this blog from a fee based subscription to a free model. We have sponsors approaching us now so it makes sense to move to the Freemium model now.

The other change is that I am going to broaden the content range just a little. I have long wanted to add some content on the topic of where leadership and technology crossover. So from now on, I will share some stories and observations about what leadership means in this new technology augmented world. I think this is a topic that is talked about in the halls of organizations, but rarely addressed with leaders themselves. We just seem to assume it is OK for the C-suite to be technology ignorant as long as they have IT people they can outsource their decisions to, and I think this is dead wrong.

As always, I will continue to comment on my thoughts about new announcements, technology trends, and useful processes. There was a lot that happened over the last 45 days that I have been away. A whole months worth if blogs could be written about Apple and AT&T. By the way, if you saw the press conference that Steve Jobs just did, can you figure out why they ran it like a product announcement with marketing slides and the lot? What would have been wrong with a direct press conference instead of the spin show it turned out to be. I love what Jobs has done, and Apple products, but I am getting tired of their style of delivery on such things.

And in case you did not notice, I Foursquared my office today so that I could be mayor of something! I also offered to give away a free book to anyone that checks in five times. Mostly, I just want to be the mayor of my own office. As luck would have it, the people that work with me are here more than I am and will probably beat me to it. My second option is being the mayor of the OKC airport, I figure I have a good shot at that one!

So in the end, this is a warning of sorts… I am back blogging, and bursting with things to say!
