Geoffrey L. Goetz<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

An overwhelming feeling of “Jamais Vu<\/a>” is how I would best describe the experience of re-entering both the mobile as well as the development scenes since the advent of Apple’s iPhone SDK. \u00a0Ground breaking new technology, ever-expanding features and capabilities in each new SDK. \u00a0Innovative and hip company in Silicon Valley calling all the shots. And like a moth to a flame I just have to be there no matter what.\u00a0Writing about it, speaking about it, teaching, mentoring, and building solutions with it.<\/p>\n

That was me in a nutshell back in 1997 when Java took off and Borland was the hip company in Silicon Valley (actually Scott’s Valley, on the other side of the mountain, but close enough) that I could not help but fall in love with. \u00a0Everything then feels like everything now, and is best described in Geoffrey Moore’s\u00a0Crossing the Chasm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I may have cut my teeth on a Commodore in grade school, but Apple has been the dominate computing platform throughout my education. \u00a0Upon entering the corporate world, it was all Mainframe, Unix, Microsoft and even OS\/2. \u00a0Then with Java and the JBuilder IDE from Borland, I slowly started to re-enter the Apple platform<\/a> professionally. \u00a0I now live in a completely Mac household, work day in and day out solely on Macs, developing applications for the iPhone and other mobile platforms.<\/p>\n

At home, I fancy myself an amateur photographer with a decent array of prosumer Canon products. \u00a0I take on average 25K photos annually and spend a good amount of time organizing, printing and getting creative with the image library I have managed to create. \u00a0The subjects in the majority of the photos I take are my two children, who are also growing up Mac. \u00a0My now six-year-old received her first iMac at the age of three, and my two-year old is perfectly at home watching his favorite YouTube videos of trains and race cars on either the iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n

So what has changed? \u00a0Why are things different now compared to then? \u00a0I wish I knew exactly, it just feels very different somehow. \u00a0Hopefully blogging about it will help me figure it out.<\/p>\n
