hello again

GoDaddy, which is my domain registrar, sent me an email letting me know that my domain, 'irunwiththebigdogs.com' was about to run out. This in turn reminded me that there's this blog sitting here that I haven't posted to in forever.

Well, I'm going to renew the domain and will post at least one more post. So much has happened since my last post that its hard to think how to describe it. I'll try though...

I worked for Versata (the company that bought Alterpoint) through the Summer of 2009. It paid the bills and there were some positive aspects to the job, but it wasn't what I wanted. So, I jumped at an opportunity to work with a few old colleagues at Convio. I worked at Convio for about a year. I learned a lot, but unfortunately it wasn't a good fit for me culture-wise and my tenure there ended in September. Also, in September, my 11-year marriage to Cassie ended. She moved into a house down the street and we're working through the details of a divorce. On the fortunate side, I began working at iControl in September (actually called uControl at the time, but we merged with iControl who was our main competitor) and this job has been a much better fit for me and a lot of fun. I've been travelling a good bit (tough since I really miss my kids), but the technology is very cool and I feel very excited about iControl's prospects.

That's all I have for now. I may take this blog in a different direction (thoughts on divorce with kids, dating as a newly single grownup, etc) in addition to talking about running. We'll have to see where this thing goes.
