I’ve been coding since I was a kid and I’ve always loved computers, and I still love programming. I use to get all excited about new software and gadgets. Attending conferences and other geek gatherings used to fill me with excitement. These days most of my inspiration to continue programming comes from elsewhere. It comes from listening to amazing people like desinger/artist James Victore. Having lunch with people like my friend Trond.

I have built a lot of my career on being vocal in different online forums since my first job back in the days. Online bulletin boards is a nice way for people to collaborate and for different types of people to discuss different topics. Bulletin boards and discussion forums are no longer as hot and are replaced by different types of social media. Services such as Twitter and Yammer. Can such services shape or change the culture of a company?
