As of 01 June 2005, I am also no longer part of the Lifeblog team. I wish them fun and luck in their new digs and that they can keep kicking butt and creating great stuff.
In the past month or two I have been preparing the way for my departure. That might explain why for some, I haven’t been so receptive or direct as usual. I have closed some projects, put some in some sort of stasis, and some I have found another owner to maintain continuity. I hope that the efforts I have put in to build the Lifeblog market and ecosystem, efforts which have been starting to build a good momentum, continue in Multimedia business development and marketing.
I, too, have had a great time working on the Lifeblog team and have learned so much. I have been doing venturing in Nokia for the past 4 years in different ways and this last round has really proved to me that I like the early stages of projects, where speed, excitement, rewriting the rule, and kick ass wasabi are needed.
The Finnish summer is around the corner and I am looking forward to it. We have a new puppy, friends are visiting, and I have made a list of fun projects ā from starting to write a book or two to fixing the toilet š ā that I think this summer is going to be great.
Oh, yes, I need to figure out what Iām doing next, too.
Nah, maybe that can wait ’til August.
Today Nokia Lifeblog has transferred to the Multimedia group to become a central component in the Nokia Nseries experience.
