My silence of the last three plus days has broken a three or so year daily blogging streak. While I do have a lot to say and have composed whole blog posts in my head, I have either not had the time nor energy to sit down and write, as my thoughts and emotions have continued to churn in such a way that would be unproductive to blog.

I am sorry, but I am still quite discombobulated by Friday morning's Nokia + MicroSquash announcement. It is not just an issue of a corporation/brand that I *actually* do like (Nokia) making an alliance with a corporation/brand that I have un-admired for over a decade (MicroSquash), but is also a professional issue.

In October, I went on two trips on my own dime, one to San Francisco and one to Austin, to check out and then receive training in Qt. I got really excited about developing for mobile using Qt and put a lot of time and energy into learning and working on my ideas the last five months.

Now I am reeling. I have no desire to code for MicroSquash mobile. None.

Here are a few Tweets that sum up my thoughts of the last few days:

Fri 02.11.11 - The devs over at Forum Nokia are not happy campers. http://tinyurl.com/6fot6rd Neither is Wall Street. NOK -14% How is this good strategy?

Sat 02.12.11 - This developer's comment basically sums up my thoughts yesterday: 5 months down the drain & I was angry. http://tinyurl.com/6j56mty #Qt

Sat 02.12.11 - "In business deals like in poker: if you look around the table & can't figure out who the sucker is, it's you." http://tinyurl.com/49ab3mt

Sun 02.13.11 - Stupid priority. #1 should be to make great phones & apps!! RT @TeroatNokia: It's official. Our No. 1 priority is to beat Android.

Sun 02.13.11 - I hate the whole competitive biz thing. Just focus & make great products #1, make people happy #2, stop watching the competition #3. #Nokia
