Confused / Amused
Well that was weird. I had a flaky SATA driver cause a blue screen of death on me a few minutes ago and after the restart Communicator wouldn’t launch. Instead, it was prompting me for the path to a Communicator.msi. Glad I had it on hand because apparently that crash damaged the app somehow. All was well after I pointed at the .msi and it repaired itself. Strange.

Hi there. My name is Tom Pacyk and this is my small home on the web. I love the intersection of design, technology, and communication, which is a combination that led me to a career in sales and marketing roles at places like Zoom and ServiceNow. They're a bit old now, but I also had the opportunity to publish a couple of books along the way.
Portland, Oregon is home for me, my wife Beth, and our three kids, but I'm actually a Midwestern transplant—I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and went to school at Purdue and Illinois. When I find some free time I'm probably going to concerts, rooting for the Portland Timbers, or working on my Sunshine Burn Photography project.
