Basically, instead of my folding up shop here at Squarespace and starting anew at Wikistrat, we decided that Wikistrat will sort of infiltrate this site over time, sucking it into their orbit. So the Wikistrat crew will manage the site going forward, and I'll focus my creative energies on: That's the basic outline, with more details to come in future posts. I had to skip out of Dodge this a.m. to fly to Monterey CA to deliver a Secretary of the Navy-series lecture out at the Naval Postgraduate School there Tuesday afternoon, so I wanted to keep this short because [. . . looking at his watch] Favre is playing the Packers in about an hour [he typed and then scheduled the blog post for next day]. INSERT PRAYER HERE Later this week, I want to write a more formal introduction to Wikistrat, the technology start-up out of that start-up nation--Israel. Wikistrat represents my fifth start-up small firm, two of which I started myself (selling one and keeping the other to this day) and two others now being matured entities (Enterra being my pride and joy). Now Wikistrat joins that line, primarily capturing my nights and weekends for now, but hopefully providing a long-term outlet for my intellectual output in my original "IR" (international relations) realm. So consider the doctor re-engaged to his first love (maiden name, regional studies, now known as globalization).
We decided to make this move as painless as possible, making as few changes as necessary to get the ball rolling. And when I say we, I mean Joel Zamel, CEO of Wikistrat, Daniel Green, CTO, and myself.
