Observations on software, leadership,
and thinking like a CTO

  • Change Management

    As a CTO, effective change management is crucial for delivering solutions to users who may resist significant changes. Develop a detailed project plan outlining responsibilities, timelines, and success criteria. Communicate extensively with stakeholders, providing training on new systems to ensure users understand the changes. Over-communicate throughout the process for success.

  • Trumbo (2015)

    This was the tale of the time back in the 40′s and 50′s where America was gripped and paranoid about communistic influences in its cultures.  It went as far as public witch hunts to out those that were a detriment to the American dream.   This movie focuses on the Hollywood writers and actors who Read Post ⇢

  • The Little Mermaid (1989)

    One of the more whimsical Disney outings the Little Mermaid is now, after 26 years, firmly concreted as a classic.  With signature tunes, such as Under the Sea and Kiss the Girl it still gets my foot tapping. What is interesting about this particular Disney cartoon, for me at least, is that it is the first Disney Read Post ⇢

  • Frozen (2013)

    Let it go, Let it go, can’t hold it back any more! Feels right, that while I am in Disney World, I should be watching this movie as part of my series. I will confess the journey to this movie for me wasn’t your conventional path.   I came to this one very late.  In Read Post ⇢

  • Youth (2015)

    For my 100th movie on the 100th day in this series I was wanting something a little special to mark this huge milestone.  Oops.   Not to worry, I will chose better for my 200th movie. Youth had so much promise, with Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel as two aging friends, at a spa retreat in the Read Post ⇢

  • The Transporter (2002)

    It is no secret I have a man crush on our boy Jason Statham.  After he was an Olympic diver, he turned his hand to movies with a help from Guy Ritchie.   He quickly found himself a niche, as that ‘b’ movie action hero.   Picking up where the likes of Van Dame and Seagal left Read Post ⇢

  • Death at a Funeral (2007)

    This is as near perfect as you can get for a quirky British comedy.  It is all the right ingredients, a very believable setup, ordinary characters in an extraordinary situation, wit, and sarcasm. Dean Craig who wrote this wonderful little hit, proves if he sets his mind to it he can produce comedic gold.  However when Read Post ⇢

the leg-end that is, Alan Williamson.

For over 20 years, I’ve shared my thoughts whenever the muse strikes. It’s unpredictable, honest, unedited, and occasionally witty. I’m living the best years of my life, working harder than ever, and enjoying every second.
