IT Needs its Gates and Jobs

Scour the data sheets and marketing of the best business technology hardware and software and you will see complexity. You will see references to ports, protocols, abstractions, management models, object-oriented and non-object-oriented practices, etc. Hand that data sheet to a highly-intelligent, well-educated lay-person and you will get a blank stare….

A Salute to Greatness

Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick), October 29, 2012May 18, 2020

There are two things I’ve spent my life doing: being a class clown (laughed at or with is your choice) and building my career.  Since I was 16 I’ve worked no less than 40 hour weeks and more consistently been immersed in IT upwards of 80.  I have rarely taken…

Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick), September 8, 2011May 18, 2020

For VMworld this year I decided to pack heavy.  I spent the week in suits rather than my typical IT polos and jeans, slacks and shirts type attire.  No particular reasoning for the change although the factors were along the lines of: change of pace, stepping it up, and ‘It’s…
