The rationale behind creating this blog was to have a location for me to post my thoughts, ideas, questions, concerns, and documentation relating to the tech world as a whole.
Currently I work full-time consulting for businesses and schools across the country, mostly in the realm of SharePoint (hold your groans until the end, please). [...]
