Yes. Over the years I have consulted independently and worked full time for two years as an Apple Authorized Consultant (ACN). I really enjoyed the work, but I didn't make enough money, and I felt a yearning in my heart to shift my focus to product rather than services.

I want to be involved in the making of things, but my core competency lies in the translation, explanation, and education around those things. So, my natural trend has been toward support / sales / consulting roles... but I'd really prefer to do those things at a product company where I have a more solid backbone I believe in than just jumping from problem to problem (I wouldn't do well at an agency).

The things I care about are open education, freedom of the internet and economy, and making the world more beautiful through obsessive product design (physical or software). I just want to work on something I care about.
