A quick visit to Dan Pink's website reminded me of our passion last year to change the way we do things in C&I. We were all invigorated and determined to use technology more in ways that made it natural and automatic. We were ready to embrace high touch, high tech as we focused on design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning. Now, I do admit--all six elements are a part of me on some scale ranging from small to great- (Design, Story, and Meaning are all in my self-created quilts and cards)--but technology is not where I thought we would be by now.
A year later I regret that I have been "pulled back in" like Al Pacino in Godfather III to my same way of thinking and working. I try to stretch, I do I do--but tradition stops me at every turn. I am determined that this will be the breakout year for C & I. No more looking to the future--for the future is here!

i like the godfather reference! i promise to keep bringing new tech to the table :) part of it is my desire to work smarter and use the tools that are out there, but i do admit there is a part of it that is just my inner "techie" bubbling to the surface. isn't amazing how lofty goals tend take the backseat when get submersed in the 'real world'?
