With this being a bit of a slower week for me, I figured I’d catch up on a few things, and let you all know what I’m trying to review soon, and what else I’m looking at for the blog.

I’m waiting on invites to Google+ and Google Music to see how they are, what Google has done, and if they are going up in the world.

I’m going to see about looking at Office 365 and give some thoughts on that. I’m not a big move everything to the cloud type guy, but I am willing to give things a chance.

I’ll be looking at other things that show up in the news for the IT industry and commenting on them.

Really, I would love to hear from you, the reader as to what things you would like to see on this blog. I don’t get access to any first looks at hardware, so that is out, but Security, Software, Operating Systems, what are you wanting to see?
