Because we have friends all over the world we hope may be able to join us, we decided to share our wedding date and let everyone who might share this very special day with us have lots of time for travel plans. We haven't set the precise location yet, but there's plenty of time for that. Definitely in Washington.
Thank you to all our friends for the support and encouragement as our love has grown and you've shared in our life together. We know that you'll be seeing more of us, but we hope many of you will be able to come share our wedding in person.
By now, everyone should know full well that Sheryl and I are more than business partners. We're life partners living together as well.
We live much of our lives in pretty open view. Between Twitter, Jaiku, Seesmic, QIK, our GeekSpeakTV, Facebook, here on VOX and all the other social media tools we use, people have a pretty fair insight into our life events. We don't hide our relationship or our love for one another.
At the VON.x conference in San Jose earlier this week, we shared the most momentous event of our life together. Many readers and friends have seen, but since it was live on stage at VON, and live streamed on the Internet. Now it's here on VOX too.
Here's one of the videos that was streamed live on the Internet.
I've hinted many times on Digital Common Sense over the past few months that I was working on something new. Something looking forward to the future.
Today, my partner in life and business, Sheryl Breuker, and I unveiled the first peek at our joint venture, Stardust Global Ventures.
Sheryl and I share many interests in broad areas of technology, its impact on society, how human behavior adapts to use technology and the aspects of both mobile and casual computing.
Our focus will shift and evolve, but we're going to be actively engaged at the center of how social media, communications technologies, and the evolution of the Internet are used by people across all walks of life. I've focused for years on enterprise business needs. We believe that we can help business enterprises large and small better understand how to embrace and adopt emerging technologies to compete in new, stronger ways. The work force of tomorrow will demand access to the tools and resources they've grown up using. Corporate culture, for many organizations, must shift to a new paradigm of embracing social networks, instant messaging, chat, video and mobile solutions.
Just as business must adapt, society also evolves. These tools are used by kids in school, with their friends, educators, non-profit organizations, churches and families. As a hyper-connected couple, using leading edge technologies and tools ourselves, our mission is to help others understand how to embrace change, incorporate the tools in ways that make sense, and maximize the value of a constantly shifting technology.
I will continue to blog here, but Sheryl and I hope you'll come follow us in our new home together at Stardust Global Ventures.
I'm working on a set of feature articles for VON Magazine VoIP in the enterprise, with a focus on security. The first article, Securing the IP Enterprise is in the March issue of the magazine.
I'm especially pleased as this is the magazine issue they'll be passing out at the Spring VON conference next week. I wish I could be there.
Thanks Dameon for the invite to check this out. Looks pretty interesting so far. Don't have time to play too much right now, but a post is a start and I'll poke around and see what I find.
