I started the night off by writing a post about why I wasn’t going to buy any new Apple products this year but I deleted it once I realized that there were more important things that I really should writing and working on (don’t include this post in what I’m saying). Over a week ago I felt a prompting to do something that I’ve always wanted and felt led to do. That’s start an organization with some of my fellow geeks and nerds that gave back to each of our own communities. What’s kept me from doing this so far? Well, lots of things. The easy answers are the obvious excuses of course: wife, kids, work and social responsibilities, but all of those things are the motivators for what the heart is of what I’m wanting to do. If you’re still reading this hang with me for a little bit longer. I picture myself, my wife, friends, artists, programmers and people of all kinds of talents, using those talents to not just teach what they know to someone else but to use the passion that keeps them doing it to maybe create that passion in someone else. You know, the people that are the same kind of different as me. I registered the domain nerdsgiveback.org and it’s my dream. I see awesome things happening through and from it but only from those willing. I’m willing. Really nervous, but willing.

I love the way you ended this with “nervous, but willing”. It speaks volumes about where your heart is. Good stuff, bud!
