Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 2/17/12

The Unasked-For, Unawaited ‘Best Of’ Edition Because I am a “writer” (note the apologetic quotes) and use a rather disgustingly dirty keyboard to post words on the Internet’s bloggertubes, I sometimes get asked questions about what I feel is best.

Technology Projects are *Always* Interesting. Right?

When titling this post, I reminded myself of the ancient Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.”  Actually, what we strive for at MIPRO are uninteresting implementations and upgrades.  So, that said, before beginning a project, one should always review the following: MURPHY’S LAWS OF COMPUTING For every action, there is an equal and

Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 1/27/11

Unabashedly Waxing Poetic on Apple From a User’s Standpoint I started using Macs when they were powered by the Motorola 68000’s and Berkeley Breathed anthropomorphized one in Bloom County. Even back then, in the miasma of the awakening WinTel juggernaut and whiffs of Amigas and Atari STs, Macs were considered niche machines. I wrote my
