Hi, I'm a new Californian with a tech background. I've realized that the slowlane was a deadend for decades. I've had my share of cool jobs and failed start-ups. Now I'm starting over with the goal of getting the part about meeting real needs, promoting products, and building relationships right. Basically I can build technical things (software, hardware) that work but have had trouble getting the market to care.

I've got a lot of product ideas but haven't decided which one to focus on. I need to figure out which one will really meet a customer need.
