It is a new year and that can only mean one thing. Time to stop doing one of the many bad things you started doing last year, make a couple hundred lists and promise yourself that you will stay away from your crazy Aunt June. That last part of course can be replaced by anything, like chocolate, booze, kids, jim kirks, McDonald’s, lard or whatever you have decided to stave off in 2008. The new year for most, me included, means turning over a new leaf, or making it appear as though you have or are trying to.

In this new year for me I am seeking a new direction. I am taking 2008 to find a new source of income. In the last month of 2007 I spun most of my client base and put my business on the rocks. I am looking for new opportunity in this great big world of ours. I have spent the last couple of weeks putting the feelers out, contacting the people close to me and hunting for new ideas for what is next. I know that I need some time away from the tech field. It has burnt me out to the point where the gray in my hair is scaring small children. Where this leaves me as of right now? Jobless and a bit on the poor side. But the plussed out way the negatives for now and I have lost the desire to kill someone every time the phone rings. I am optimistic that I will come upon something good/positive/exciting/challenging in the next few weeks. Otherwise maybe just a greater at Wal-Mart?

Podcasting is still going to play an important role in my life in 08. Chuck and I have committed to another year of both shows and have started work on a few side projects. I know we both would love the chance to work with other podcasters in the field and still dream of making a dollar off our passion. Dreams!

Finally, drop me a line and let me know what you have planned for the new year. Leave me a comment or send an email my way. Would love to hear what is in store for you!

Happy New Year!!
