Hi!
A little information before we jump off. I am a veteran in the IT industry, and have been passionate about the area of technology and digital rights for some time now. I had planned on writing a book on the subject, but I ran up against a few issues. First, the rate in which the landscape changes in this field would render any book I wrote obsolete before it could even be printed. Second, after writing a few dozen pages, it became clear that, as impartial as I try to be, I can't really offer a completely unbiased view of the situation, and most of my information turns into very well composed rants. I thought that a blog might be a more appropriate means of delivering the information and opinions I have, since the articles can be dated, and not subject to withering away into irrelevance on a bookshelf. Perhaps I will write a book at some point, but I think the material might have to be a little more stationary in order for me to commit to spending the volumes of time necessary to turn out something meaningful.
I hope you find this blog informative and as always, a staging ground to finding out more information. I will not mask the fact that I have my own ideas, and I want to emphasize that I don't want my ideas to become your own, at least without some research and insight on your part. So, take the ideas and opinions found here and digest them. Debate with me, agree with me, point out where I'm wrong, or where I shed some light for you. I enjoy a constructive conversation. As will be a common theme here, I believe in the dissemination of free thought and ideas. Take that to heart as you read on. I hope that my offerings will raise your awareness, but will not by any means be your final destination in seeking answers. Welcome, and happy reading!
