The Short Version
Which is a dignified way of saying I'm an old coot who will blab on endlessly about networking to anyone who will listen.
Especially about IPv6. I'll usually slip in something about IPv6 no matter what we're talking about. In fact I've been berating network operators about the necessity of IPv6 since the late 1990s when finding an interested audience meant traipsing around Japan, China, and Korea.
I'm continually interested in technology trends and where the networking industry is going. So in the early 2000s I was writing and lecturing regularly on MPLS and network consolidation, when all that was new and cool.
These days my excitement is focused on SDN, NFV, large-scale fabrics, and Intent-Based Networking. But I'm still likely to get in something about IPv6 too.
