And The World Keeps Turning….
Apparently, while 2011 was a year of huge changes for me, the changes just keep coming in 2012. I won’t be relocating again, but I will be switching jobs, and that is going to also impact what I’m doing on this site. I’ve accepted a Litigation Support Trainer position with AccessData. I’ll be based out of my home office, doing online training and various other projects from there, while also traveling to do onsite training, working at some of the various trade shows, etc.
I’ll also be contributing to AD’s eDiscovery Insight Blog (http://ediscoveryinsight.com/). In the interest of not competing with myself, or with the company that pays my bills, I will not be writing about the legal industry or litigation support on this site any longer, short of pointing you to things I write over there.
What does that mean for mikemcbrideonline.com? I think it goes back to being the blog it started out as all those years ago. A little tech, some geeky stuff, some personal lessons learned about careers and travel, and, of course, photography. I’ll still be sharing interesting articles in the legal and litigation support fields, here and on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus, along with links to various other things I find interesting. There won’t be a complete purge of all things legal, but it certainly won’t be the main focus the way it has been for the last few years.
If you’ve been coming here for the litigation support stuff, I hope you’ll join us over on eDiscovery Insight, and I hope to be able to continue to share information and insights with you in various ways. If you’ve been following along for years and trying your best to weed through the boring legal stuff, I hope you’ll enjoy the new turn on the site. Just bear with me as I go through an adjustment period and figure out exactly what I’m doing around here. 😉
On a personal note, I’m excited by this new opportunity. I’ll be working with a great team, at a very exciting time in the history of the Summation product line. I’ll be getting a chance to teach others, and help them understand this crazy world of eDiscovery, on a regular basis. It will certainly make for a different 2012 than I was expecting, but a very interesting one too!
Hopefully, I’ll even get a chance to meet up with some of you in my travels, or at trade shows, so stay in touch!

Congrats!
Congrats on the new position, Mike. Training is a good thing. Keep in touch and let me know how it’s going.
Thanks! I’m looking forward to doing something different like this. Should be interesting.
This is awesome Michael. Now I have someone to translate all the Summation training that I’ve taken this year into something I can actually understand!!! Congrats.
Thanks Rick. I’m sure you get it more than you think you do, it’s just those silly litigation terms that throw normal people off. 😉
Hey Mike, long time. I was searching for some answers for a LAW issue I am having and your site came up fourth in the results!?! We just went all in with Summation Pro. I really like the folks over at AD, maybe I’ll get to work with you again in the near future. Hope all is well.
Hey Gary, good to hear from you! Hope the switch to Summation Pro works out well for ya’. I’m sure we’ll run into one another at a conference or something along the line! Take care!
