		<description><![CDATA[...Data centers have shrunk to server rooms. Server rooms have been virtualized to a rack or two. Desktop workstations are now laptops and tablets. The price point to equip your workforce has dropping and the capital budget has been shrinking with it. Licensing of enterprise suites is also feeling the tremors as paying in an on demand mode is becoming a core part of the vendor conversation. <a href="http://russaebig.com/directionallycorrect/2011/03/30/shifting-asset-ownership/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When companies are young, there is often abundant enthusiasm, and a scarcity of funds.  From an IT perspective your decision horizon is also not too far out.  You will typically have comparatively few users for the systems you have to build (or buy, or rent, or...).  The criteria that you have to work with will typically be very basic functionality, low volume, and little interaction between functions.  Given that the expectation that you will pull off minor miracles with two quarters and a dime, the best and easiest answer is to develop point solutions with minimal investment in the software platform.  If you have enough foresight to the types of applications required ahead of time you may even invest time in an application and system architecture.  Congratulate yourself if were able to pull this off in the typical start-up organization.   <a href="http://russaebig.com/directionallycorrect/2010/03/05/growing-pains/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My hardware configuration in my work life probably doesn't stray too far from typical. I use the big three (Microsoft, Google, and Apple) as part of my repertoire with each vendor playing a role in how I carry out my day. While tempted to experiment by depriving myself from products of each of these vendors for a day, I've realized that these vendors have embedded themselves in my life in a way which they cannot be extracted - at least not without significant planning. <a href="http://russaebig.com/directionallycorrect/2009/12/27/my-relationship-with-microsoft/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

For the most part the zealots who were near hysteria in their love for their Mac, iPod, or other Apple device in my mind were exhibiting borderline cult like behaviors.
