Our technological infirmity

Author: ocracokewaves

A now sane individual who escaped the world of selling technology, now living in the rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont. I have been at one time or another, a farmer, a director for Apple, and a vice president at Wideopen Networks. I continue to pursue my love of photography and writing. I have great memories of boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and hiking the beaches along North Carolina's Southern Outer Banks where we lived for fifteen years.

Over twenty inches of rain since the middle of June.  Five inches of rain in the first three days of August.  All is not lost, we still have enjoyed some great days  http://ow.ly/zU8gM

We live in a world where incivility on the Internet derails discussions that are important.  How do we prevent the problem? http://ow.ly/zzBCj
