(View from Forrester’s office. I actually used to live right there on the Foster City lagoon on the left side apartments right on the water, on the right side, you can see the Oracle towers.)

Today I went in to my ‘unofficial’ first day at Forrester. I don’t actually hit the payroll until Monday, but I’m getting my research agenda and had to meet some new clients while in town. The welcome was amazing, Charlene and staff are really wonderful. I’m very excited about the road ahead, and the topics that I’ll be covering are right in my area of focus, stay tuned, more goodness to come.

I’m still getting a lot of questions about my future activity. Yes, I’ll continue to blog, and I’ll still do short videos and twitter and share. You’ll find that now that I have access to real data and research intelligence that I’ll have greater quality to share with you so hang on for the ride!

I’ll be flying out to Cambridge for new hire and analyst training, if you’re in Boston, please try to attend the blogger dinner on Oct 18th, there are already 37 signed up!

Just like I did at Hitachi and PodTech, I’ll be sharing my journey as an employee venturing into a new world, I believe in being as transparent as appropriate, so stay with me!
