Welcome Jason & Friends!

Won't you join me in welcoming Jason Connell to PlexNex! Jason's first contribution runs just below and I hope it is the first of many where Jason feels free to develop his inner-Yeats.

We are going to flesh it out a bit here on the Plex, get some new voices and grow the conversation. Although you will agree with me that ODF and Microsoft trash-talk are compelling fields, they are nothing like plastics...nor babe magnets, per se. So, Jason will add some flavor while exploring software patents, baseball, life in Philadelphia and other cultural must-haves.

Speaking of babes, we will have one or two women on -- including our very own Mrs. Robinson, kind friend Solveig Haugland -- to make the atmosphere real. I hope Solveig too will feel the Plex her second home while dishing about food, technology, travel, relationships, oxygen and all the nuances of Auto-correct, Spell-Check & Word-Count.

There's also Ben Horst we will be honoring soon with huzzahs. Ben is another well-read fellow traveler from the alternative office suite universe whose voice will add dimension to the conversation about technology culture and other compelling areas.

I admit that it is hard to give up a platform of pure, unadulterated self-involvement, but also look forward to the challenge of being nice most some of the time.

Welcome, good friends to our new adventure. Enjoy!

Wow! I never expected one of my favorite blogs to grow so much so fast. I spend enough time here parsing every word, and now, I see more time spent not eating, or getting sunlight. Should be a lot of fun, as PlexNex now has one of the deepest benches in tech.

Thank you Zaine.

We'll be going for "Short-Post Week" soon enough, so Plex readers can come for some lighter Info-Snacking rather than the starchy open standards fair we've been ladelling heavy.
