Back to Reality

"Ni hau" and "aloha" to you all. I've made it back to the United States after an epic summer in China. Thanks to those of you that followed some of my adventures, both technical and personal, through this newsletter and on my blogs. It was a truly mind-blowing experience. The three weeks' journey through China gave me a much greater insight into the complex and rapidly-changing country that will play a major part in all of our lives in the 21st century. And the six weeks in Beijing working on the broadcast for NBC Olympics was as stressful, exhausting, rewarding, and utterly exhilarating as you could imagine. It took me about a week after returning—until just now in fact—to even begin to decompress. It's a bit challenging returning to my "real life" and to my clients and explaining that, yes, I saw some of the most amazing events, ceremonies, and sights in the world but it was, in fact, a lot of work! And what a lot I learned!
