A new direction
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 9:36AM
I plan on taking a new direction on life. I've been a netsec guy for a while and I enjoy the technology. I really enjoy working with my hands, designing new systems, breaking into others but I believe that I will have a lot more fun in the startup, entrepeneur and community-driven world.
The big reason for this change is that I love working with people. I love learning from people, meeting new people, teaching what I can and simply listening to what others have to say. This is the direction I want my life to go in. I don't want to be answering the calls, I want to make them. I want to take the community head on and learn from what each and everyone of you have to teach. I want to share what you have to teach to the rest of the world.
That's why, in addition to starting a new career path very soon, I am also going to start to talk to more people and post what they have to say here, at Srcasm.com. To start I'm talking to Jason Allum, of RipIt, and his life and how it got him to where he is. Did you know Jason lived in Japan, built awesome things with his hands and travelled the world? I didn't either until I stopped to listen. I'll be writing a post outlining who Jason is and will hopefully be getting answers to the questions of (that means the questions from you, the readers).
Live, learn, and be merry. It's easy, lets try.

Good luck as an entrepreneur! It's a tough life but it can pay off big time. So, don't get discouraged and don't be afraid to ask for help.
Very cool! I look forward to reading about Jason's life. I would be happy to share my thoughts/story for your project too.
I definitely won't let it get me down and I will be asking. In fact, I'll be asking you to share your story with the rest of the world as well.
That would be wonderful. We'll chat soon but if you want, shoot me an email with a little bit of a summary pure at srcasm dot com. It will be super awesome!
Great idea. Love it! Reach out and learn from as many smart people as possible. Nothing, however, replicates the quickness in learning when you do it yourself. Failing fast and failing cheep is the way to go.
Best of Luck,

Thanks for all the awesome input so far. I hope to not fail fast or cheap but if I need to, I'll do just that -- Besides, it'll give me something else to talk about at the next FAILcamp.
