I have been talking about getting my CCNA for a long time.  However, various things have gotten in the way.   Usually it has been a combination of too little time, too little motivation, and no money when I have the time and motivation.

Well, let’s be real.  If I had enough motivation I would have found ways around the time and money.  This last (thankfully short) period of unemployment has convinced me that it is time to get the motivation to pursue not just the CCNA, but follow that with a CCNP and CCIE.  That should keep me well employed for awhile.  So I am going to add blog posts here at least once a week on my progress.  I will also be putting together a study wiki.  More on that soon.
