Fair and balanced…

Wow, has CNET news had suddenly gone nuts? IE7 is the doom of Firefox? Did you hear that?

Thankfully an interview with Salon regarding this recent claim at least shows CNET allows other points of view…

I’m sorry, Molly, but you’re just plain wrong! Just because the biggest software company releases their version of a product, doesn’t mean we should necessarily cower and use it or abandon other alternatives. Market share shouldn’t dictate what I as a free-thinking user should use…the power of choice is monumental to society….

And that’s not even getting into the real reasons why…

Whew, I feel like Will Ferrel during his debate in Old School…what happened, I blacked out?

New Job

Normally I don’t get too personal in the blog, at least blurring out the names in the appropriate documents. To protect the innocent and not make this into a personal diary where all I do is vent and rave. Usually not appropriate in this case…

But I had to just let those who really know me and follow me only thru this blog that I just accepted a new consulting position with a ‘large’ Twin Cities company. I qualify ‘large’ as one of the premier consulting groups and larger local presences; not necessarily meaning the size of a big 5 company overall. But they get alot of excellent work in the Microsoft arena, and I couldn’t pass up a chance to work for them again (yes, I previously worked with them in a previous life (for both of us)).

But I can’t wait to start on the 28th and will share any interesting news I can related to this later…
