Long Day and Complex Roads

I know that many people successfully drove all over before satellite navigation systems were deployed in automobiles. Yet while driving around Houston today, I'm left wondering just how a stranger could successfully navigate the islands of intertwined interchanges without very careful planning in advance. It really is convenient to hop in the car, enter the address into the console, and be guided to your destination.

The customer meetings today were very successful and, as always, were a learning experience. It is always enlightening to hear how people seek to get their missions accomplished, and the variance of responses one receives when floating new ideas and technology.

Technology in a business context is special in that it is a race with no finish line. You can lead, follow, get trampled or get out. But, you can't win and you can be sure that any interesting race will attract aggressive competitors. For me, I like leading!
