A nice post (I'm no-where near over my career redirection from all-things the love of Contracts to all-things the love of IT) but..

It is really encouraging to see a well-organized, influential constituent to the DoD IT arena recognizing and broadcasting some key elements affecting Gov. Software procurement, in the progressive light of embracing transparent and agile software re-invention via Open Source. Thumbs up to the page on mil-oss.org for being that force! trackbacks disclaimer: this post may have been apt for posting on my similar,slightly different blog about contracting/IT.

What keeps contract administrators going (aside from preserving ethics..): national security matters of course

here, the washington post describes issues at the core of the technology/red-tape frontline such that the US is likely able to tap into and monitor activities from foreign governments, even whereas the communications originate from outside of the US so long as that data passes thru a server in the US (ie: google or fb ones)

I think I do know....the best way to share posts like this one would be twitter or a URL feed but..

I'm not creating a new twitter account just for this blog ;) and I want to share those links on this page... so, today, I emailed the HTML5 WG, whatwg.org's founder, and looked into whether the HTML5 spec would support my google chrome request. Since it won't, I'm looking for my own *possible* solution (it is possible, but I don't know if I'll prototype an end-result past HTML POST-composing new email messages in the browser) and whether it's perhaps monetizable, although this goal is of lesser significance at the moment. I'm more interested in today in finding a company cause that parallels mine - similar to finding a user-need that warrants a lot of time-for-pay - as in working to support Mozilla? idk but O'Reilly media has good stuff. Here's a video I heard from them today on open-source.

I'm not sure what to cover here, but I just started this blog and like Googles new blogspot layout!

This is the first post of my new blog, so to break ground, as is customary, background info on the blog follows: I began bloggging in 2008 just about the time I ventured into the working-world afresh as a Contracts-Representative trainee for a small Government-serving staff company (the now dissolved "KPS,Inc"), and had a few ideas then that still resound pretty strongly with me, today, amidst my trek to become a part of a value-adding-,value-acknowledging company that serves a greater global goal of enhancing worth through bona fide,conscientious workmanship. On the assumption that perpetually increased satisfaction is attainable through consistent strides towards sound ethic, I embrace this approach to apply towards all aspects of life and hope this is evident and reflected by the content of posts made, forward. If you find me to be misguided or unclear, I encourage you to interaction and seek your dialogue to identify ways in which we can bring yourself, me, and any readers of this blog closer to consensus and most importantly, hope this is light enough for enjoyment :)
