About
rianjs.net serves as my catch-all for things that aren't strictly related to medicine. That means it catches quite a lot. This site accidentally chronicles my development as a person through both good times and bad. For instance I don't dump the sorts of stuff here that I used to at one time, but by the same token, I won't get rid of it, either, as my aspirations for political office are non-existant. 
I enjoy reading, writing, and thinking about technology and what they're calling "new media" — that is, Web 2.0. Knowledge work as a concept, is relatively new, and it's still gaining traction and acceptance. The idea that value can be created by almost anyone and then monetized is very new and is generating some exciting new developments in business, and I believe we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.
Professionally, I write about pharmacy and medicine, and the business that makes the whole wacky system work. You can catch me at OnThePharm, a personal project I started in May 2006.
Other random things I'm interested in are in no particular order: personal finance and money management, entrepreneurship, and personal development.
I'm a firm believer in doing what you love as a vehicle to both success and happiness. I also believe that it is interesting experiences that make for a rich life — money and possessions are simply the means to an end.
I'm also a student and pharmacy intern, and I love being both.
