While I was out of town earlier this month, my colleague Cameron Sturdevant wrote a rather interesting post on the subject of identities personal and professional. To borrow a phrase from the courts, I concur in part and dissent in part, for reasons that have as much to do with my own experiences as they do with anything concrete.

P. J. Connolly began writing for IT publications in 1997 and has a lengthy track record in both news and reviews. Since then, he's built two test labs from scratch and earned a reputation as the nicest skeptic you'll ever meet. Before taking up journalism, P. J. was an IT manager and consultant in San Francisco with a knack for networking the Apple Macintosh, and his love for technology is exceeded only by his contempt for the flavor of the month.
