Introducing Software Technic

First things first, let's talk about the title. "Technic" is an uncommon spelling of the word "Technique." There were a number of blogs on blogger.com with variations of the conventional spelling, so I went with the unconventional. I have a fond memory as a kid arguing over the spelling of the word with my dad. He had used the unconventional spelling, "technic", and I argued that is was incorrect. Well, dad was correct. It seems only fitting that I should use that spelling.

As you might guess, this blog will be about software, but more specifically, it will be about software development (from my perspective of course, and with some personal interest stuff sprinkled in). I like a lot of the general technology blogs and podcasts (like TWiT and MacBreak Weekly for example), but they are a bit more consumer oriented than I would prefer...I'd love to find a really good podcast (even a video podcast) done more from a software engineering perspective. Alas, us software engineers tend not to make good entertainers (plus, who has the time).

Anyway, I've often desired to have a place to publish random thoughts and software design approaches, so this will be it. I will have lots of technical stuff here...hence the title. ;)
