Why birds, books and computers?

These are three of my obsessions. There are others but these fit neatly on the page -- and the order (as you might guess) is alphabetical.
I'm a longtime bird observer, a professional librarian, and a technology manager. I'd be happy to combine all three interests -- but I can start with one.

Why hummingbirds?

While I'm obviously interested in hummingbirds as birds, hummingbird characteristics and personality are exactly what I wanted in a consultant.

  • Fast and flexible:
    • Watch a hummingbird maneuver -- no wasted motion and can change course rapidly as conditions change.
  • Fearless
    • Hummingbirds aren't afraid -- they'll take on any challenge. Just watch one chase away a bird 10 times its size.
  • Focused
    • Hummingbirds are aware of everything around them -- but don't lose sight of their goals.
  • Fun
    • Hummingbirds obviously enjoy what they do.
