I am pleased to announce that a new voice is being added to this blog. A friend and colleague of mine, Dave, will be adding his thoughts to Bits & Pieces. I do have a day job and help in covering both politics and technology is greatly appreciated by me. I welcome his intelligence and his cogent view of the world. And thanks to our readers for following our writing and passing along recommendations to friends if they enjoy the blog. All the posts will show whether it is Dave or me, Brant.
