I, Cringely != crap

Most of the content on the internet is crap. I think I’d be really quite generous if I were to estimate that only 90% of every piece of content bouncing around the pipes is crap. It’s that last 10% that makes the whole thing worth it all.

One of my favourite columnists, and thus part of that 10%, is Robert Cringely over on PBS. I bring this up now because I’d realized that I’d forgotten about him and have just spent the last two hours reading everything I’d missed in the interim. Most I agree with, some I don’t, and other I have no idea what the hell he’s talking about at all. But it’s damned well written and really quite thought-provoking.

I, Cringely should be one of those sites you read each week. You owe it to yourself. (Back-issues can be found here, my current item of interest is “Sucking Through a Straw”, an examination of the coming home-bandwidth drought).
