    Sociate
    May 1998 - Current (28 years 2 months)
    In May 1998 I went independent. Sociate was my dba, a neologism that plays off the twin facts that I love to associate ideas and people, and that I believe the social changes we are undergoing will be more profound than the economic and structural ones we see already.

  • N
    VP, Research Director
    New Science Associates
    Nov 1987 - Oct 1992 (5 years)
    (5 years) New Science was an unfriendly spinout from Gartner Group, which then bought the company six months after my departure. New Science stayed out of Gartner's way by focusing on emerging technologies such as AI, neural networks, computer-aided software engineering, network computing (waaay before the Internet got hot), document imaging, hypertext (ditto on the Web), text retrieval and more.

  • Mobil Oil
    Transportation Analyst
    Mobil Oil
    Aug 1980 - Aug 1983 (3 years 1 month)
    (3 years 1 month) Page 2 of 3 My first real job. Started as a clerk, looking up truck and rail freight rates in paper tariffs from the ICC (through the second OPEC oil crisis, with constant fuel surcharge supplements). Bought an Apple ][+ as a hobby in 1981. Brought it in to show how spreadsheets might change our jobs. They never bought a PC, but they thought I was a computer geek, so they gave me a job that required running reports through an IBM System 390 mainframe, so I learned about the smallest and the largest computers in parallel, which was very educational.
  • Disney
    Skipper, Jungle Cruise
    Disney
    Dec 1978 - Feb 1980 (1 year 3 months)
    (1 year 3 months) Anaheim, CA Back in the day I got to perform a memorized script, pilot a leaky craft (on rails) through the Rivers of the World and shoot a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson at charging hippos, a ride feature I'm pretty sure has disappeared over time. I was earning $2.90 and hour, less than the $3/hr I made that summer as a pool monitor, but I did have the privilege of paying $13.50 a month in union dues. Did I mention I didn't get union benefits as a part-timer? But it was a great time. And good training.
