After quite a hiatus from dropping some nerd knowledge I wanted to begin 2012 talking about something that was a big buzz in move technology in 2011 (and 2010 for that matter)….yes, I am talking about 3D.   THE THIRD DIMENSION.   When the first set of movies were released to theaters in the supposedly [...]

Much to my wife’s dismay I purchased yet another tablet.  My third in fact.  I am now in possession of a Galaxy Tab 7, Motorola Xoom, and Galaxy Tab 10.1.  (and an iPad, but that doesn’t count.) After a few months of the Xoom and a week with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 I have come [...]

I sat for the VMware Certified Advanced Professional Datacenter Design exam today. Also known as the VCAP-DCD. And I can sum it up in one little expletive….. WOW! I have taken over 50+ IT certification exams, and built about half that for Microsoft. This VCAP-DCD is, hands down, the most taxing exam I have ever [...]

Technology is everywhere.  It is omnipresent in its ability to penetrate so many different aspects of our lives.  Technology finds its way to our homes, our work, our social life, our sex life, our health, and so much more.  So I decided to dig a little deeper into the technologies that are abound for securing [...]
