Excellent Tech Web Site
May 15th, 2008 by joe
From past experience I have the impression our readership is not by and large a “techie” audience, unless the technology happens to go bang - in which case I think we have the top experts in the world this side of Janes.
But maybe the occasional Web or marketing person will drop by, so I am going to share a great blog I discovered in the course of researching my day-job Web overhaul project (which remains highly diffuse at this point). It’s honestly one of the best blogs I’ve ever read in any subject field, and I have read a whole lot of them.
Jeremiah Owyang is clearly the rare individual who has found an occupation which matches his personal enthusiasms, so that his online diary bears the depth and quantity of content of someone who pours 100% of himself into the subject matter. This is a pure blessing for anyone interested in learning about the information-intensive, jargon-rich, and opaque - for those who have fallen a bit behind on tech innovations - field that Owyang specializes in: Web strategy. Every minute spent on his blog is worth that minute of your life. His posts on User Experience could serve as a certificate program.
For instance, this post and comment thread on Content Management Systems arrived at a perfect time - when I am engaged precisely in researching CMS and social media solutions for our company. If you are behind the times on Internet trends, terms like Twitter and Technographics are greek to you, if you are responsible for making a strategic Web decision, and you want to get caught up, read this guy’s blog.

Just think, if I wrote a post about traveling on horseback it would have 90 comments.

Did you learn anything from this tech blog ? I glanced at it, sounds like a CMS is a potential bag of worms.

Yeah, what they seem to be discussing is: bad experiences with proprietary CMS solutions, and bad implementations of CMS solutions. I am thinking if you select the right group of modules with an umbrella platform like Drupal you can avoid these problems. You don’t get held hostage to a poorly implemented piece of software.

Can I have two beers and some peanuts, please? Oh, sorry. I thought this was an automated order window but I now C that it is for pMS, whatever that is!

Alright, I understand, this is going to be another gun thread if it is going to be anything at all.
It turns out I will not be able to test drive any shooting ranges this week because both the kids are visiting and the rain required some serious lawn work.
I may not be able to do any shooting until after May 25, boys. Sorry about that.

Look at June as earliest. Don’t think that mama will let me out before then (full plate).
Didn’t mean for you to turn this into another gun thread but you know me, I ain’t no stinkin geeky-techy!

Joe,
I know a marketing guy with a non-profit headquartered in Gaithersburg which uses TYPO3. If you want to speak to someone in the trenches who might be able to give you an idea of their experience with TYPO3 let me know and I’ll try to get a name for you to call, or meet with.
Weenies like to show off their work..

June works, this gives me some time to zero my new sights before we go.. Got a new set of Siglite night sights..
Early June I hope..

All,
OK. I heard someone mention blasting. How about June 6th, we can celebrate D-Day. It is a Friday, and afterwards we can cure our terrible thirsts.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
This works for me.

It’s my mom’s birthday, but my mom is sort of a happenin’ babe, so there is a chance she has plans that night. If nothing else, I can probably do the afternoon if we decide to do that again. I will check and let you all know.

Bring her along — we’ll give her a 21-gun salute!
May 17th, 2008 at 12:18 am
Well, that is not a bad idea at all. I will ask her.

I just came back from the range and it was pretty empty. A Saturday could be another option

Turns out I’m free June 6 cause Mom has other plans, so on either 6 or 7 I’ll be there.

I’m in. Get Jack out there this time. Dan, if we play with shotguns, I’m gonna need your sissy pad!
May 18th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Sissy pad, you mean the energy dispersal device ?

Dan,
You really are nothing but a liberal, you word manipulator you!
