An Intro to Cubert Nine
A New Platform, A New Start
Spilling Ink is Always a Challenge
After nearly 40 years in technology, I’ve learned life’s about blending passions and pushing through. Welcome to my Substack, where I’ll share insights that blend books, food, tech, and resilience. I’ll talk about what drives me and hopefully hear what sparks you as well.
Fantasy & Sci-Fi: Celebrating Indie Authors
I’ve been hooked on fantasy and sci-fi since I first first read Raymond E. Feist’s Magician and journeyed into Middle Earth with Tolkien. Over the past decade or so, I’ve become a big fan of indie authors such as Chris Tullbane, Richard Raley and Michael J. Sullivan. I love that creative folks like this have been able to disrupt an entire industry and found an outlet for their work.
Other platforms such as Royal Road have recently caught my attention. There are so many great stories being told, if you just bother to go look for them. Most of them are free to consume, but the authors sure do need our support. Be sure to leave a review if you’re diving into these worlds. If you’ve got a favorite author, highlight them below or chat with me on X!
Foodie Life: A Taste of Joy
Being a foodie keeps me grounded. I love visiting local restaurants where ever I go and will often drive well out of my way for good BBQ or Mexican. Nothing beats a great bowl of gumbo, except maybe a donut. As I’ve traveled for business, I’ve found many local restaurants such as the Steamhouse Lounge in Atlanta or great deep dish pizza in Gilbert, AZ. I can’t wait to find another awesome local venue to add to my list.
Tech Journey: 40 Years of Change
I’ve spent nearly 40 years in tech—starting with my Atari 800xl all the way until now with this crazy AI stuff. I caught computers on fire, installed OS/2 from floppy and lead businesses throughY2K; I’ve seen it all. One lesson? Adaptability is king—whether it’s a new operating systems, cloud migration or a health curveball. I’ve learned tech’s not just about innovation; it’s about solving human problems and helping customers. Got a tech story? Drop it below—I’m all ears.
