Intel keeps Moore’s Law alive

by Jim Smelley

Every time I describe Moore’s law to someone who hasn’t heard of it before, they often say something like “Yes, well, its held up so far, but I’ve heard that we’re about to hit the end of it.” Well, IBM has once again shown that human beings can be pretty creative.

Thoughts on Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act

Disruption Is the New Normal

By nature, disruptors are not popular. “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win, then they copy you.” We have all heard some version of this quote, and we have all seen it play out in real life. We've seen it with building...

What Would You Say You Do Here?

“I deal with the … customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills!” That famous Office Space quote from Tom Smykowski cracks me up every single time. I know Toms. I’ve been Tom. Change the quote to say, “IT Team” instead of “engineers,” and there’s a...
