On September 19, 2011, working with MiTAC, Joyent launched Taiwan's first Public Cloud and I was happy to be part of the team who delivered this deal.

I remember in 2007, I really thought to myself that Cloud, or just virtualization would change the fundamentals of our business and that Taiwan needed to "move up the stack" to gradually get away from the OEM to ODM low margin business. After all, that was what our fathers did, making ICs, and now that they've done such a great job, hardware is highly affordable but so have the margins been eroded. 

Since that cold winter night in 2007, a lot has happened.

As I sit here still adjusting my jetlagg, I just wanted to take this time and record this point in my personal life, to remind myself how gracious the Lord has been to me, to allow me to follow my dreams and having a lot of fun getting there. My family for all the support they have given me, especially Clara for dealing with a guy whose head is always in the clouds.

So this post is but a little milestone set here to remember this moment and the awesome people I get to work together with, you all know who you are and you all have a very special place in my heart.
