This week's left overs.

I was cleaning my inbox and came across these articles from the past week that I found interesting.

Ipv6.

Both of these articles come Network World.

This article is a little older than a week but I thought it was interesting none the less because of the advances in memory technology described in the article.

Here's a couple of articles that are older than a week, but relevant all the same. From Network World reflections on T-1.

The Wonderful World of Technology.................

  Here we sit in this modern world of technology. Technology that is suppose to help us live better, longer, and be a more productive part of society. With the launch of this new blog devoted to all things tech let us keep in mind that we can as is our natural right accept, and reject those things of technology, that we either want, or do not want in our lives.
   The purpose of this blog is to be informative as well as current as possible about everything tech. Tech encompasses a big world. For the purpose of this blog I refer to tech as everything related to computers, computer networks, servers and routers. Then there's alway's the evolution of the internet it's self, the future of computers, and applications based in the cloud. Another topic for posting under the heading of tech is the implementation of IPv6 and how that's going to play out on the net or affect commerce across the net.
   As with all new endeavors there are to be growing pains with this blog, especially as I get feed back from friends so if you see changes or want to see changes made to this blog, I ask that you be patient with me in managing this blog.

Sincerely,
Eric.............
