<p>I&rsquo;m no longer with GrokThis.net and am now with <a href="http://www.cloudscaling.com">Cloudscaling</a>, architecting cloud computing solutions.</p> <p>This was a bold step for me, which I actually embarked upon a full year ago. Yet, until this month, I maintained my connections to GrokThis.net, not necessarily as a safety-net, but because I knew it had to be transferred or shutdown correctly.

(Certainly, many would have preferred we sold, and we could have)</p> <p>It seems ironic to associate employment versus business ownership as a new-found freedom, but it feels this way. Business ownership is a weight on one&rsquo;s soul, one&rsquo;s life, and their family. I&rsquo;m planning to exercise this freedom by getting to better understand some the providers which were once competitors. I need that perspective. I&rsquo;ll be blogging about some of the things I&rsquo;ve seen along the way in running my business, trends I see happening, and so forth.</p> <p>If I say things that sound stupid, they might be, but I&rsquo;ve found that most often, I&rsquo;m just well ahead of the curve (GrokThis was)&hellip; but I&rsquo;ll explain that in more detail, later.</p>
