software blogcard
I'm pleased to announce that this "software" cartoon, which a lot of people seem to like, is now available as a blogcard. Rock on.
Brilliant news - Hugh. Ordering now.

In a non-geeky, non-marketing sort of way I have been thinking A LOT about concept this lately, because the concept is actually not a concept at all, but a very real thing that happens when people start to treat your blog like a personals ad. I even had to change my commenter's identity. I could not agree more. Questions I have asked myself are a) does software give users an excuse to act differently than they would in meatspace? b) isn't software just a means to an end? etc;

"It's not the software that's free; it's you."

That and "businesses are not run by IT departments..." were irresistible.
