Lead Geek Recommends

One of the most important (and often difficult) tasks an IT Pro faces is keeping up. New products, new technologies, and new techniques make for an ever-changing landscape, and the ability – and the need –  to remain current is a hallmark of our profession. To that end, I’ve pulled together a list of some of my favorite resources, and some of my favorite people, all of which help me in my on-going efforts to stay ahead of the curve.

There’s a place below you can recommend stuff to me!   I’d love to hear from you.   ~Josh
