Introduction This is a third, and hopefully final, location for my professional blog called “sapienti sat”. It started when I was at Sun Microsystems but then I lost access to it when I left the company. I hosted the sequel on my company’s site, but had to let it go partially in protest to GoDaddy’s support of SOPA & PIPA, but mostly because I forgot to extend the domain in time. I intend to keep it here at least as long as Google is around. The things I like to write about include specific technology issues, as well as more philosophical questions concerning technology, innovation and related areas of business. I prefer to publish long article-style entries, so there will not be too many new posts. I hope you will find my musings useful, interesting or, at the very least, amusing.
