A New Year, a New Attitude

Hi,

After a couple of happy years blogging my forays into social media, Facebook application development, online marketing, and so forth on AjaxNinja / Marketing Ninja, I took a year-long break from blogging between May, 2009 and May, 2010. Now that I'm back in the saddle with my copy of Visual Studio, a slew of startup ideas in the social media / online marketing space, and a hell of a lot of energy, I decided that it was time to get back into the habit of blogging.

As of writing this I'm still working for SmartDraw as a mutli-faceted online marketer, although I'd like to see one of my startup projects take a life of its own and blossom into what I do full time.

Here are the goals I have for this blog:

  1. To publish short code samples which other .NET programmers may find useful in the course of developing their own applications which leverage social media / web 2.0 REST APIs.
  2. To publish longer code examples, tools, and extensions to aid .NET developers.
  3. To link up and network with like-minded developers who want to collaborate on projects, preferably in the San Diego area.
  4. To build an online sounding board for ideas about software development in the social space.
  5. To convince people, namely myself, that I know what I'm doing

Discussion, links, and tweets

I'm the CTO and founder of Petabridge, where I'm making distributed programming for .NET developers easy by working on Akka.NET, Phobos, and more..
