Thanks for dropping by. Really.

COMMERCIAL BREAK: I’M HELPING FAMILY & FRIENDS OFFLOAD NEAT & USEFUL Stuff. TO SEE WHAT’S FOR SALE, HEAD TO THE blog

Hokey pokey? Nawh, this is what it’s all about!

Overture: (Secure) Communication. Powered by Trust ✓℠

Regardless of why or how you reached my site, you deserve to know that at the forefront of every feature and word herein is, as The Piano Man himself said in the outro, “(It’s always been) A Matter of Trust.” In that regard, it’s a high priority to be truthful and transparent with you, so I’ve developed this combination blog and verification site. Why? Now you can easily and regularly authenticate documents and communications from me, spanning emails to PDFs and paper documents! You’ll see variations of the aforementioned famous chorus’s concept, and particularly its outro echoed throughout the site. Everything here is truly Powered by Trust ✓℠.

Beginnings

Did I create this site because I’m a total nerd and seriously enjoy writing copy? I’d be guilty for not saying that’s at least somewhat true: and so I won’t lie and break our Trust. So why does the corykoz.com domain exist? Simply put: I was tired of typical, big email providers and their lack of organization offered. The ads on free email providers’s services are endless and overtly conspicuous, as are their (likely) data scraping practices and habits of serving targeted ads. My handle has always been @corykoz(®), so that’s the natural name for the domain, folks.

Most importantly is that free, commercial email services stink. Really hard. Plus, people tend to not use those big box services’s (limited) email, calendar, and contact organization tools properly–but it’s not the user’s fault: the free services just leave a gap that hampers productivity and thus happiness. Accordingly, and in our age of increasing dependency on digital identity, I’ve migrated to my own brand to communicate effectively, automate tasks, highlight key messages, and the likes. That’s it. That’s really why I bought the domain. This site is simply an unintended side effect and gift!

There’s even super secret!! (shh!) features here where you can be directed to a page by scanning various QR codes that I append to various important documents. Those special authentication pages run on Internet Super Powers℠ (generic name: “magic”) to prove we’re talking, even if it’s on paper.

Intermizzo: Future Directions

To be fully transparent–because deception is pretty lame at best–I have no concrete plan of what to do on this site beyond the aforementioned authentication and trust services. Again, this site exists because it can: that is, it comes with the email and productivity features. Maybe it’ll be a fascinating blog featuring professional content peppered with sarcasm, wit, humour (that’s UK humor, folks), and the likes. That would be fun and fulfilling. All boosted with the same proprietary Internet Super Powers℠.

We’ll see. Feel free to drop me a line with suggestions. Thanks so much for visiting.

If you’re employer or wish to offer me credit or other very serious things, fear not (please!): my CV is de facto evidence that I can–and have–effectively juggle bone fide employment and–dig this–also exercise wit (with keen discretion and never crossing into unprofessionalism at work).

I’ve come to the conclusion that the Purpose of Life, and all things we each learn and do as a part of it, it to know, understand, participate in, and enjoy humour. The strongest bonds I’ve made in my >15-yr professional life have been based on this universal common ground: a type- or subject of humour we each enjoy. You’ll have to agree at least to agree that (appropriate) humour in work life is every bit as important as it is in personal life. I hope you do.

Cheers!
