Progress through Life

Today I attended an online seminar from "The Energy Project" - a pleasant reminder to set goals, and to make time for important but non-urgent stuff. Making sure the non-squeaky wheels get greased, so you can roll towards big things you want to accomplish.

Afterwards I took a few moments, sequestered myself in an ngmoco:) conference room, and assessed my progress through life thus far.

Accomplishments:
- Survived family suicide, business failure, divorce
- Learned to be a decent lover, host and accomplice
- Created a crazy thing online
- Experienced minor fame
- hosted TV
- Published a well-received book
- Rubbed brains with deeply smart folks
- studied to a Graduate level
- Lived abroad, widely traveled
- Home ownership
- Had an idea, raised money, started and ran a company as CEO

Goals:
- Connecting and empowering people
- Expressing myself
- Sharing what I have learned
- Becoming a father with a good mother

Now:
- Saving money
- Learning how to organize and motivate global high-tech knowledge workers
- Growing older
- Dating a young positive creative woman

at work at ngmoco looking grumpy I guess

Here's a picture of myself for context - where I work, and the frumpy expression on my face as I was using my computer.

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Justin Hall and this here is a personal web site I've used to chronicle my time on earth since 1994. The content on the front page is relatively recent; if you search through the archives, you'll find old pieces of Justin. Some folks have indexed my doings on Wikipedia.

eBooks by Justin Hall

I've published books for sale, somewhere else online! Behold:

Now available for the Kindle: A Story of GameLayers. My experience being CEO of a tech company, 2007-2009:

"A tell-all story of a startup from the very beginning, with lots of info about real-world fundraising. A more intimate look than you'll find in other business reads." says Irene Polnyi in a 5-star review on Amazon.com.
