It's true, I am moving on and am truly excited about next things. Bittersweet? A friend asked. No, more like Wistful Sweet.
Twenty years ago today, I drove out alone from MIT to California in a Blue Standard-Shift Celica to do a thesis at PARC. And it's been one long trip through PARC and Inxight until now. Roughly 10 at PARC and 10 at Inxight. The journey for me was to be part of inventing things and then taking them out into the world until everybody is using them.
I do feel that this has happened in a way. Just as it happened for PARC in general. When people say, a little too loosely, that PARC didn't succeed, I usually respond, PARC succeeded, Xerox didn't in fully capitalizing on it, and if they had, you wouldn't have all what you have today. Xerox did fine. And, Inxight is doing fine, never better.
Inxight is a huge part of me. It's a big step to leave. And in a sense, I will never leave. My long-ago Xerox badge still hangs in a showcase at Inxight. Some day I may take it and other things on the walls that belong to me. Until then, I remain an advisor, shareholder, and most importantly, a friend.
A thousand thanks to all that helped, for the time, knowledge, money, support, and fun along the way
