About this blog
“Hype Cycles” is a blog about things that catch my attention. They will mostly be technical or technological in nature and a reflection of the things that I read, am interested in, or see in my day to day meanderings.
Why the name “Hype Cycles”?
- Because it is appropriate for what I plan to post on this blog!
- But equally because this blog was called hypecycles.wordpress.com when I first created it in 2009, and because hypecycles.com is a domain I’ve owned for some time
If you aren’t sure what a Hype Cycle is, here is some more information for you from Wikipedia.
About me
I’m a geek, an entrepreneur, a software developer, a harder tinkerer, and about a dozen other things that I can think of describing myself as. My linkedIn profile gives you some information about me.
I used to work at Tesora, a company I co-founded in 2011. The company was acquired by Strato Scale in January 2017. I do not represent Strato Scale and any comments about Tesora relate to a period of time when I was employed by the company. Those views were my own, and did not purport to represent the views of Tesora, and need not represent the views of Strato Scale.
I work at Verizon Wireless. I do not speak for my employer, all views expressed in this blog are my own.

This page was updated on May 3, 2017 to reflect my new employer (Verizon Wireless) and the acquisition of Tesora by Strato Scale.
