Well, the merge is complete. This is now the SNAP Xcito blog. Geez, keeping one blog is challenging enough. Imagine two or three. Well one step at a time.

A little back story. Xcito is my company, if ever sees the light of day, only God knows. In attempting to find a short metaphor, brand that resonated most with me it had to be success. I’ve always been focused on ensuring success in whatever I do, for whoever I work for or with. Unfortunately in the past, my definition of success have not always aligned with those I worked with or for. I learned from those mistakes and emerged even more focused on the success of others. Which brings to me SNAP.

SNAP is, if nothing else, about making students, my friends, my peers and Puerto Rico successful. It is the culmination of about nine months work, and is finally under progress and building momentum. SNAP is an open source software development project, dressed up as a research and commercialization – human resource development project. Wow, how many adverbs can one string together and still make sense? Or are they adjectives? It is quite embarrassing that my grasp of English language grammar even allows me to construct these sentences I’m typing now. In many ways, quite the symbol for my weak programming skills. Grammar is syntax, right? I believe, and am told, I communicate very well, both orally and written, but I almost flunked English in high school. So I get the semantics, but not the syntax guidelines/names. I mean what the hell is a gerund anyway? So I know what programs should do, I just don’t have the patience to master the syntax. Hmm, I digress.

So there is a shift in this blog history, merging the two. However, now that I pull things together. It really has been about success all along. Here’s to yours…
