Well, after an extended amount of time off, much longer than expected by the way, I'm back!
I learned a lot during my time off, some expected (and some very much not expected!), but learning of any kind is always a goal and a good thing for me, so it was a great success in this regard. I have more thoughts and ideas than ever to share with you here at OCOT, and I have renewed energy to apply towards making 2008 the best year yet for all of us.
Fortunately for me, and for you as well, I'm blessed to be surrounded by a cadre of very special and very interesting people, and as you've noticed I'm sure, several of them have been sharing their unique perspectives and points of view with you here at OCOT. I hope you've enjoyed them as much as I have. My sincere thanks to Murry Christensen, Marcia Conner, and Robin Wilson for the time they took out of their hectic schedules to post some of their ideas and perspectives. Better yet, there is much more to come!
As I mentioned previously, my plan was to experiment with the notion of "guest bloggers" here at OCOT, to push the "blog boundaries" a bit, to provide some additional new outlets and audiences for the guest authors as OCOT "producers", and to provide additional new content, perspectives, and ideas for OCOT "consumers".
With the success of these initial contributions, I'm delighted say that you'll be seeing more of these posts and more guest authors in the coming months. In addition, I'm now working with some of these authors to create some additional new formats for OCOT including interviews, video, and virtual world-based content.
PLEASE keep your comments, critical feedback, and contributions coming via e-mail and calls, so we can continue to evolve, expand, and improve upon the OCOT experience, your involvement, and benefits that OCOT provides to us all. I'm excited to be back. Stay tuned for more thoughts and ideas that promise to be ever more off course, yet ever more on target!
Hard to believe that we are already 1/6 of the way through 2008. As this is my first chance to do so, my very best wishes to everyone for a year full of life, love, learning, and happiness.
