puts "Hello World. TNG is live!"


This introductory note is firstly a test of Mephisto, the CMS that I've built this site with - less than 8 hard hours (mostly CSS) and TNG is done! (as my 2 year old says "I Did It! TaDa!!").

And secondly, I wanted to set the stage for the intention of this blog.

I intend to use it as an exploration of both technology and high tech business concepts. Through my years as both a computer engineer and small business ceo, I've longed to share various thoughts, and to join others through dialogue on these topics.

So, through time I will likely vary from discussions on technology delving into Ruby, Rails, databases, design, TDD/BDD, agility and occasionally into my fascination with consumer electronics.

Alternating with thoughts on high tech marketing, sales, product development. My inspirations stem from The Chasm Group, and Neil Rackham's Spin Selling & Jim Novo's Drilling Down.

P.S. In the spirit of "hello world", check out this reference to a bunch of "hello world" programs.
