This is really and truly my 116th blog post, but it looks instead as if I’m brand new to this medium — because the history of my comments across two preceding eWEEK Labs blog platforms is regrettably being left behind as part of the move to this new venue.

My past comments remain accessible on the Inside eWEEK Labs blog, and I will link to earlier comments in that space as appropriate — which may be a good long while, seeing as I’m still finding columns from three years ago or even longer to be dismayingly timely. But here I am, and here are you, and I hope it will prove an interesting conversation.
