I divide my time between consulting, authoring, and teaching because I find
that each of these services compliments the others.
Authoring provides me with an opportunity to research and explore
technologies in-depth, and insure my understanding by organizing the knowledge
into coherent written content.
Teaching exposes me to a wide range of scenarios where technologies are
being used in the real world, and gives me the opportunity to help students
solve specific problems.
Consulting lets me put the technology to use in the real-world to solve
real business problems.
My consulting ability benefits from the depth of knowledge I obtain from
teaching and authoring, and my teaching and authoring benefit from the real
world experience I obtain consulting.

Firehose Chats:
I probably have Attention Deficit Disorder. I know this because I
just can't seem to sit through more than three minutes of a technical PodCast
or Channel 9 shaky-cam video. I
want to see the technology in action immediately, and I want the video to move
quickly through the topics. Keep in mind, I'm from that generation that
had to program their parents VCRs. This generation knows how to use stop
and rewind, and doesn't need videos to move at the slowest possible pace.
On this theme, I've started experimenting with what I call "Firehose
Chats". The idea is that the video shows as much technology as possible
in the briefest possible time. Every video will be less than 3
minutes. If you're like me, that's all you'll watch anyways. Check
out the following Visual Studio 2005 chats:
