Start-up Mechanics: Not Every Idea Works for Everyone ....

I left Optaros in September to co-found a new start-up after some initial planning.  The idea has been steadily evolving over the past few months.  The definition has sharpened, based on some experimentation, and the co-founders and contributors are excited and passionate about it. (It's a very cool idea.)

Unfortunately, it is now something that doesn't fit particularly well with my background or passion.  The co-founders and I discussed this at length going into the Holidays, and we all felt it was best for me to transition out of such a key founding role as CTO.  (I've laughed with friends that only I could design myself out of a CTO role.)  I'll remain an adviser on the Advisory Board.

So with the New Year comes a job hunt.  (I'm even considering consulting again.)
It's all good.
