I'm going to take some time off from blogging for at least a month, if not longer. My MBA classes have been intense this semester and, honestly, I've lost the motivation to blog each week. It's not that big of a time commitment - about 2 hours a week. But when it comes time to write the blog I either have homework to do or I've done homework all day and would prefer watching a movie.
I've been writing this blog rather consistently every week for the last 2 1/2 years. Now, it's time for a short break.
This semester in MBA school finishes in early December. I might start up again after that, or wait till next year. That will give me some time to take a break.
Thank you to all my loyal readers out there. I hope you have enjoyed the insight I've given into network engineering and architecture, Cisco, the CCDE, and the networking industry. I've had a great time, learned a lot, and met people because of the blog.
I'll still be on twitter.
