Technology Thursday Coming Soon

Technology Thursday
understanding the virtual world around you

Our sincerest goal is to provide context to the rapidly expanding virtual world around us. To better prepare for the inevitable spread of IoT, we feel that the hardware, software, security and social aspects of things might overwhelm a great portion of the population who were not born into it.

We feel that bridging the gap – be it generational, socioeconomic, across gender or race, or even simply lack of access – with honest, simple and core explanations. A place where you can ask anything, learn anything or improve your skills by participating on your own time. We feel truly this will overcome the overwhelming behemoth that is information overload and help demystify the noise – hopefully towards better understanding, comfort, education and improvement of daily lives.

Here is hoping that our grand goal comes to fruition and you can help us achieve it. I ask that you submit questions, discussion topics, ask for reviews of software, hardware or services – whatever you feel will help you better fit into this ever changing but inevitable world that is coming (or can be argued is already here and we are playing catch-up). You can use the contact form to submit anything relating to technology that you would like to know.

Here are some topics that have come up over the last few years (and by no means complete and will evolve as needed):

  • computing hardware (desktop, laptop, tablet, hybrids, servers/racks)
  • software (Windows, Mac, Linux/Unix, Android, iOS, Cloud)
  • networking (routers, switches, VoIP, security[+], hardware, software, VPN)
  • development (coding, languages[+], platforms, frameworks, web/desktop/mobile, tutorials, samples, code review, repositories)
  • mobile (phones, tablets, hybrids, assistants, Android, iOS, manufacturers, design, OS, mods, root, superuser, tools, security)
  • [+] these subjects run the gamut of subjects, so they will be addressed as encountered and appropriate
  • … anything else you can think of, just shoot me a message and let me know

“Historical Day” Series Will Now Be “Today in History”

When I originally started this series, I wanted to bring a snapshot of history to everyone, every day, and even highlight one of them as a starting point.

Often we are too busy to review history and that’s a sad state of affairs. If we don’t remember, learn from it, then are we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. YEAH YEAH, I’ll try to limit it to that one cliche.

Might be cliche but its my true motivation, naive as it might be. So I figured the change to the post titles, might provide a better focus and commiserate better with the content.

I hope you guys find it a useful resource. As always I am always looking for new material to provide on the site, if you have ideas for something, use the contact link to drop me a line.
