Internet Culture – Culture Like a Mold

Enjoy. “The Internet has always had loud dumb people, but I’ve never seen anything quite as bad as the people who comment on YouTube videos.” “HD disk format wars are over” — piracy won.

“The Internet has always had loud dumb people, but I’ve never seen anything quite as bad as the people who comment on YouTube videos.”
“HD disk format wars are over” — piracy won.

\ I'm an IT consultant, developer, and writer. I hold both MS and CompTIA certs and am a graduate of two IT industry trade schools. I was at one time the datacenter technician for the Wikimedia Foundation, probably the \"coolest\" job I've ever had: major geek points for being the first-ever paid employee of the Wikimedia Foundation. I was sad to give it up, but moving to Colorado kinda makes working in a Florida datacenter difficult. I have also written hundreds of articles for TechRepublic. \ Aside from directly work-related skills, I'm an ethical theorist and industry analyst with a keen eye toward open source technologies and intellectual property law. Both parents have worked in IT/IS about as long as I've lived, and I have an enthusiastic interest in computing even outside my profession. I've been playing with computers off and on since about 1980. I started just in time to see an IBM 7072 in operation. \ I'm an active member of a great many Internet-enabled and meatspace computing enthusiast and professional communities including mailing lists, LUGs, and so on. \ See more at: \ \ Apotheonic Labs \ blogstrapping \ Chad Perrin Dot Com \ Copyfree Initiative \ Singular IT, LLC \ UnivAcc \ \ You can find many of my TR articles in a publication listing at Apotheonic Labs, though changes in TR's CSS have broken formatting in a lot of them. \ \ \ Open Works License | http://owl.apotheon.org \
