A talk about me, my family and the things we love to do
As the flood waters of change roll into the mid-west from the coasts – the effects are also rolling in. We’ve been hearing the “rumblings” of niche and local advertising opportunities increasing as web analytics and target marketing become more sophisticated – and here is one really good example.

Over the 10+ years I have been in IT, it probably comes up once every 2 years. Whatever thing we’re building is not only gonna fix our current problem – but it’s gonna fix everyone’s problem. When I caught the computerworld UK post called “Run IT as a business — why that’s a train wreck [...]
