Welcome

Welcome to the Technology Plumbing blog. First of all this blog is about putting technology to work for personal as well as small and medium business (SMB) use. The plumbing reference is simply about the fact that all technology requires "plumbing" to work. If done properly the plumbing is invisible and the value of the technology is apparent and usable to the end user.

We often think of all of the technology and how it keeps us connected. If we reduce this to its simplest level, it can be thought of as two tin cans connected via a piece of string. you can communicate between the 2 cans over the string and as technology improves the cans and the string the communication and connectivity just get better as do the "things" we can do with them.

In this blog I will discuss real-world uses of technology that allow you get things done in a more efficient, lower risk and perhaps even more fun manner.

Much of what I will write about will be based on personal experience in my life as a technologist, husband and father of 2; however I will also pass on ideas, comments and info on technology that others are writing about that make sense to pass-on to this audience. In the technology world we call this R&D or "rip off and deploy" .
