"It’s more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy."
What a young man like that doesn’t understand, is that an old man just needs a clean, well lit place to drink (Taken with Instagram at Lovejoy’s Tap Room & Brewery)
"Technology is a glittering lure, but there’s the rare occasion when the public can be engaged on a level beyond flash, if they have a sentimental bond with the product."
"Data growth / excessive data growth and IT budget constraints were the most significant problems cited by respondents of the survey. Data protection/ disaster recovery / business continuity were also cited as significant issues, as were IT mis-alignment, mobility and getting a handle on cloud computing."

"Yes, there are many people who blog and otherwise publicly discuss development methodologies and what they’re working on, but there are even more people who don’t.

"I think it’s important to note that if you miss something, that’s OK. You can’t absorb it all. I mean, I have a job to do and I have a family to keep, and the rest.

"In the past fifteen years, we have seen Microsoft go from being an unstoppable force to being a non-factor in many important new markets, we have seen Google go from being an unstoppable force to being a non-factor in many imporant new markets, and I suspect we are going to see Facebook struggle with the same thing. RIM is dying quickly now. Yahoo! is a question mark. In technology the more things change, the more the stay the same. You cannot ever rest. Because the big change that is going to upset your nice apple cart is right around the corner. Today that is mobile. Tomorrow, who knows? I am trying like hell to figure out what that will be and jump on it. Because that’s how you play this game."
