First Entry

November 15, 2009 · Posted in Blog-keeping 

Been debating on what my first entry would be. I have had a love hate relationship with this blog. It has been redone-refurbished-renovated-remade-revised-rewhathaveyou many times over since I first registered the domain in 2004. I go pretty strong on the first few weeks or months and then life happens and then….

So why start it again now? How is it going to be different from the other nth versions?

One key aspect of this blog is that it actually now has a true focus. A mission. When I first started out the blog, it was more of nothing but a sounding board, stuff that comes into my head and feel like mentioning. Stuff that I run into throughout the course of the day… Stuff that I just want to mention, but really don’t want to dwell too much into… Twitter and Facebook status updates kinda handled that situation, hence the demise of the last version…

This time around, this blog came out of an idea. Something my wife and I are working on. It actually has a true purpose.  A mission.

So what is the mission of this blog?

To provide small to medium size business insights and resources on three key areas: Information Systems Management and Security, Electronic Business (eBusiness) and Internet Marketing Strategies

These are three subject matters that I have honed (and still learning) in the past 11 years or so. Hopefully it will provide readers some useful information that they can implement in their day-to-day business operations.

This blog will not be all business, however. From time to time, I may have to segue on non-related/random topics, because after all life is not just about business, life simply happens.

Happy reading folks.

When IT Is Your Company’s “Piggy Bank”

When IT Is Your Company’s “Piggy Bank” By Vaughan Merlyn First, my apologies – this is old news! But I was talking to a CIO last week and he made a statement I’ve heard many times over the years: “The company views IT as ‘the piggy bank’ – it’s a place they can reliably come to when [...
