Years ago the question was, “Why do I need to start a blog, what would I say?” The blunt answer was, “just start one and you’ll find your voice.” I found mine after a few false starts, but it never hurts to do a sanity check every once in a while. It’s beneficial for you and your readers who are sacrificing their most prized possession – their attention.
Drawing up the next few posts I found a common theme – screenwriting. What can I say, I have a lot of story knowledge having failed to become a screenwriter.

So with that in mind I’m going to refocus my blog around screenwriting. Not the art of screenwriting but how the principles of crafting a story can be applied to tech. In the past I’ve blogged about social media, virtual worlds, cloud computing, etc. but that doesn’t make me any different than the next guy. The unique voice I have is my screenwriting knowledge.
A decade ago I listened to Richard Newton, the former dean of engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and a lifelong champion of innovation, at a small private function in Silicon Valley. One of the things he said has stayed with me: Innovation opportunities going forward will be at the cusps of different disciplines–biology and computer science, information technology and health care, semiconductors and medicine.
