More About This Website

This site started as my blog on ITToolbox. Along the way I found: First, I found that I enjoyed writing a blog; Second, I found that a surprising number of people were reading me regularly; Third, I found that I had a lot to say, mostly about delivering quality software, but also about my adventures in code, and about the people close to me; Fourth, I found that my readers enjoyed the "non-IT Stuff" as much as the down and dirty details of managing software development. So it is the coneblog because it is by me, Larry Cone. My goal is to entertain and educate. I hope that you get some of both!

Article Excerpt:
