hey thx for the visit. i'm JimEJr, actually short for James E. Washok Jr. i've been on the web for a long time... since '94 actually... & thought in the early days of blogging, "what's the point?" once i finally figured that out, i tried a few times to be a professional blogger. it's tough to force it. now, i just write about those few things that interest me most from an innovation perspective as that's the type of stuff that many friends, family, coworkers and others have sought my thoughts on for many years. so u will find my comments to be primarily about mobile communications, great user interface design, customer loyalty, & simplicity in life & work. i love helping others & breathing life into good ideas. if u find my words having some impact on ur thoughts, i'd be honored to get ur feedback.
