The last thing an opinions writer wants is to be discovered by their, how shall I say it, least “defendable” post.&#160; But sometimes a little unvarnished opinion leads to a moment of clarity that objectivity would otherwise muddle.
Such a moment was provided to me a month ago when I was doing one of my (many) [...]]]></description>

Six months ago I got a sneek peek at the iPhone.&#160; A beautiful piece of machinery lacking only in 3 critical places:&#160; It is a 21st century network device tied to a stone-age cellular network.&#160; Its on-screen keyboard is clumsy (though far better than others up to that point).&#160; It is a new OS and [...]]]></description>

Stephen Colbert may not be able to get his hand on an iPhone, but yours truly can. :)&#160; (Sorry Stephen, but you&#8217;re still our #1 American).
I spent some hands-on time with the iPhone a couple days ago and came away with the same general impression that most have had up to this point, except for [...]]]></description>

As any start-up blogger knows, no matter how great (or poor) your content is, getting people to read it is the big trick.&#160; Tech Op/Ed, for example, is here for general technology editorials, but I wanted to get some IT management topics off my chest first, and these articles appeal to a certain niche of [...]]]></description>

II -&#160;Use&#160;the Resources you have&#160;-
 Damn, if I had a nickel for every organization that bleeds money on unimplemented technology&#160;and underutilized, or more accurately &#8220;inappropriately utilized&#8221;&#160;staff&#8230;
Companies, the world over, could save billions in IT, and operational&#160;costs, if they just used what they already have.&#160; It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re Unix based or [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve seen my share of IT gone wrong, and I pay attention when it does.&#160; Sure, the problems and solutions may seem obvious, &#8220;do good, don&#8217;t do evil&#8221; as a CIO colleague of mine likes to say&#8230; but&#160;making the conscious effort to recognize and stand up for the most critical values takes [...]]]></description>
