Back and Forth | The Incoherent Ramblings of Designer and Musician Justin Winslow

Comments on My Inactivity

This blog has been a bit quiet for a while which is unfortunate, but it’s been for a good cause (I hope). We are debuting our Solar Array monitoring application at the Solar Power International trade show in Dallas on October 17th. I mean no self-adulation when I say our team has accomplished more in the past few months than most others in the field have accomplished in the past few years.

It is on the shoulders of some truly brilliant folks that I have been able to build the front end of this colossal application. With any luck, I will be back to music and back to the attention this site deserves in the next couple weeks.

Finally the #1 Google Search Result for “Justin Winslow”

That’s right, I finally defeated justinwinslow dot com to take the number one spot. This Justin Winslow is the king of all Justin Winslows. Yes, the sole purpose of this post is to say Justin Winslow as many times as feasible to ensure I maintain my position as the master of my domain.

jwinmusic.com Has Finally Been Revamped

This is a project that I started before departing from SolarWinds as a part of a large restructuring of my online web presence (it was, in fact, supposed to be the smaller and easier of the tasks). Yet, here we are, almost 3 months after ground was broken on the project and it has only just now seen the light of day.

It is easy to lose sight of personal projects when a great deal of your time is full of other activities – not the least of which being XX hours devoted developing a product that really has never been conceived before. I find, however, that these diversions – small and large – can keep you honest about who you are and what you’re doing. One’s best work generally surfaces in one’s own projects. These projects are also typically accompanied by great introspection and self-criticism which can be enlightening as you realize how far you’ve come and how far you still have left to go.

Hopefully I will be able to keep up with my own personal endeavors a little more than I have been in the past couple months because I am damn excited about how far I’ve come in such little time and I know I have only scratched the surface of what I can be if I keep pushing my own limits.
