Who's Your Data?: The day of firsts.

It’s a day of firsts, this being my first day working at Symantec as a Systems Engineer, the first day of the launch and availability of whosyourdata.org, and as may become apparent as you read on, my very first attempt at a blog.

What’s this site about you might ask? It is, and will continue to be, the logical progression of the radio show we had on WFED, where technical professionals can come to not only get no holds barred practical technical information, but ideally also get a laugh out of the phenomena we all have in common in the world of IT. If either of these elements is not present, we are not doing our jobs. There should also be healthy serving of content that, while not directly related to IT, is stuff that we as geeks all happen to lean towards, with consumer tech and similar pursuits at the top of the list.

So what is on the menu in the upcoming weeks? There will be weekly comics, blog entries every couple of days, a mountain of tech info available for everyone, and frankly, we’ll add whatever the community wants, barring anything that could get us arrested.

My ultimate goal here is to contribute, and hopefully inspire contribution. My background is storage, but in a perfect world, we will have members and contributors from all of the major IT segments: OS, Storage, Security, Web, DB etc. I know I need to learn more about security; maybe there are security folks out there that could lean on me.

So bookmark this page, and register, and a month from now if you aren’t entertained and educated, we can break up and still be friends. I promise it won’t be weird.

Damn, I just made it weird...
