Given the holiday season and the lack of news during the next 10 days, posts will probably be inconsistent at best. Please enjoy the holiday season and have a happy and safe new year!

I have talked about human filters and my plan for digital curation. These items are the fruits of those ideas, the items I deemed worthy from my daily reading. These items are a combination of tech business news, development news and programming tools and techniques. You will note that some of the formatting has changed, and that is due to the change in my process. Formatting, and the information presented, is likely to change a bit as I develop my new process.
