Baby Vicuna

Gratuitous picture of a baby vicuna being bottle-fed by Summer in Peru

You may be wondering why I have stopped posting pretty pictures of macaws and llamas and started writing about technology companies. It’s an abrupt change I know, but the honeymoon is over (literally, not metaphorically). (Well, definitely literally.) I enjoyed our trip more than I can say, but I am glad to be home, and excited about what’s next.

What’s next for me - professionally - is a new startup. I don’t know yet whether I will be joining an existing company or starting one from scratch. I don’t know if it will be on the west coast or the east. But I plan to write about the process. I hope that by doing so, I will learn a lot from the people who read this blog: suggestions about what I should be looking and who I should be talking to, as well as concrete advice. If this is useful to other would-be entrepreneurs, great.

There is some risk that by disclosing what I am doing this way, I may help a competitor or just end up looking like an idiot. But I think that the benefits greatly outweigh the risks.

I still have a few thousand pretty pictures from our trip that I haven’t posted, and a lot of thoughts to go with them, so do stick around if that’s all you are interested in.
