Let us blog.

Hello MIST 7500 colleagues and random readers, if any.  GO DAWGS!

Welcome to my first crack at blogging. I apologize in advance for subjecting you all to the inner caverns of my technical and literary musings. This should be an interesting experience. I'll be perfectly honest that I've also never followed any bloggers, and most of my exposure to blogging (albeit very minimal) has been my negative reaction to a few annoying sports and/or political bloggers. That said, I come in peace with an open mind and will do my best to keep it interesting yet academic (excuse the oxymoron).

No really, I'm excited about this blogging exercise in that I'll have the opportunity to:
  • discuss and reflect on on how different internet and information technologies affect how companies/educational institutions/governments do business
  • provide a platform that exposes the 'good, bad, and the ugly' of specific technology implementations and project management methods based on personal/professional experiences 
  • oh yeah, this meets my course requirements as well.
One other quirk of this blog is to reflect on the following question throughout the semester as I think it is particularly interesting for IT professionals (IT in its broadest sense...including internet technology, software development, project management, networking, internet technology, audio/visual, datacom, and the list goes on).

What is better?....depth in one or two technical areas or breadth in many areas?...Thoughts?

Stay classy,

Davis
