Hi, there.

Thanks for visiting. Startupgeek is a blog about several things:

1. The things I've learned technically in the past 12 years.
2. The things I've learned professionally in the past 12 years.
3. New things I learn, both tech and professional.
4. Random thoughts about working in IT.

What the blog is not about:
1. My employer - I'm vetting the blog to ensure their privacy; this isn't a corporate-sponsored blog and this content is not approved as far as what should represent the company. To eliminate that as an issue - I'm leaving them out of it and trusting everyone to respect that.
2. Politics - I'm politically neutral...I don't discuss politics.
3. Product reviews - I don't think I'd ever hope to compete with CNET or Tomshardware.

About Me
I've been working in IT since August of 1995 - in a nutshell, I started in phone support, moved on to desktop support, then to systems administration, then data center operations and finally, deployment/operations for a startup in the Silicon Valley.

My opinion is just that: opinion. I do my best to back up my POV with reasonable, empirical data. I reserve the right to be wrong about something and fortunately, I don't make the same mistakes too many times. I'm hoping this information will help someone else do the same.
