Intro

Welcome to my Blog. I am new to blogging so bear with me. I created this blog to set out some truth in the world. I’m of the opinion that bad journalism and marketing in general will kill this world we live on. Perhaps I’m a little paranoid. I just see a ton of bloggers and even real journalists out there perfecting the art of “copy and paste”. Very little research and thought goes into a lot of the stuff you see on the web or in more traditional print. So here I am with my own little corner of the web and a chance to show off my lack of journalism skills.

This blog will be about a lot of things I see in my life. As a professional I work for a small company called VMware. You may have heard of our rather successful IPO. I’ll blog more about VMware later. In my personal life I’m married with two great dogs and a beautiful wife. I enjoy flying in my “free time” as well as snow skiing and life at the beach (although I live in Atlanta).

I’ll finish my thoughts with one statement. The opinions expressed on this blog are my own. They are not representative of the rest of my family (my wife often thinks differently than myself) or my company, VMware. If you decide to quote anything on this blog then do so in it’s entirety. Do not quote out of context or I will find and correct you.

One last warning....I speak my mind freely. I am not politically correct many of the times. If you disagree with something I say or find something that needs correction then please let me know. So, now that the intro is out of the way, let’s blog!

Hi Mike,

great to see someone standing up to all the pretenders. I too am frustrated at the lack of accuracy in the media today and it seems so much more prevalent in the IT industry, so good on you (sorry I'm Australian ;).

As far as "show off my lack of journalism skills" I believe it is "journalistic skills". I also had a little chuckle over "I’m married with two great dogs and a beautiful wife". What did your wife think of listing the dogs before her and are you married to the dogs or your wife? ;)

A little fun but kudos to you.

And VMware screens your blog, no?? :)
The captcha should be on the same page as the comment form. :)
