Yahoo to Microsoft… pound sand!

Yesterday I found myself chatting with a former Microsoft programmer while here in Nashville and it was quite an eye opening discussion. I won’t drop a name because, well, because he only recently departed Microsoft.

Lot’s of travel lately

The first official post at Blogivists.com

Well… here it is! The very first original post here at Blogivists.com.
Sure, I might be posting somewhat prematurely considering the fact that while posting this our site is locked down and in “maintenance mode”. That being said, this blog can be found and seen so I figured why the heck not?
In this post I’ll talk [...]
