Hello to all my new followers, and my sincere thanks to my former Data Center Knowledge colleague, and my very good friend, Christine Hall @BrideOfLinux for finding something about me worth following.

It's at a time like this on a Friday night a little over a week from #Christmas, one week after being laid off, that one comes to one's realization that we in the tech content business may spend more time concentrating on tech, at the expense of the people behind it. Technology isn't a product that people just reproduce from a template, and that fewer people would only reproduce slightly more slowly. Technology is an expression, a medium not only for artistry but that is artistry. Reduce the size of your choir by half, and you don't only lose its volume - you sacrifice a degree of its harmony.

A lot of really good artists find themselves unemployed this season, many of them laid off from my old company along with me. While some journalists lament the sudden termination of their Twitter - a loss I pre-emptively assumed for myself without lament - the real story is here. Technology is lesser today than it was a few weeks ago.
