Beginnings

Greetings, all!

Welcome to Tech in Arizona, an examination of the state of computing and IT Security in the Grand Canyon State and elsewhere.

Your host is Bruce Wiley, an IT professional with over 30 years experience in the field.

Of course, you may ask yourself (go ahead - I'll wait...) why I'm doing this. The answer is simple. CompTIA, in their infinite wisdom, is trying to maintain ISO9000 and Higher certification for their organization, and therefore cannot allow their certifications to "not expire". Except that when most of us gained their various certs (I have three...) the contract we agreed to was a "Certification for life" and was the subject of the start of a Class-Action lawsuit against them (http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23238). Being smarter than a stump, they acquiesced and added "Continuing Education" as a requirement to keep your certification refreshed. And of course, one of the ways to earn credit for the CE is to, well, Blog....

I'm sure you get the picture.

So enjoy, sit back and Lets Talk Tech.
