You might be wondering what this blog is all about.  The name “Twist: on Tech” applies in a couple of different ways:

1. My nickname/handle/nom-de-guerre is “sirtwist” and has been since somewhere around 1991 when I first read the Shadowrun: Secrets of Power trilogy by Robert N. Charrette.  One of the character’s “street name” is Twist and an elf named Dodger dubbed him “Sir Twist”, complete with a British accent.
2. This blog will be dedicated to my take on technology issues … my “twist”, if you will.  I’ll be talking about things like gadgets, media technology, cloud computing, gaming and internet security.  Sometimes I’ll be writing reviews of products and/or services.  Other times I’ll be rambling (hopefully coherently) about various “geeky” things I’ve been working on.  I’ll likely even chat about things I find in the tech press and other blogs.

Since this is my first adventure in blogging, with the exception of corporate blogs such as our Purity Networks Blog, I ask you to bear with me as I search for the right balance of personal commentary, news and other assorted tidbits.  I’m definitely open to suggestions, so feel free to email me at sirtwist@twistontech.com.

Hope you enjoy the site!
