Tim’s moniker of SOA Chief therefore describes him very well.

When searching for a perfect song to fit your musical tastes, Tim envisions a future in which keywords are cut out like cumbersome middlemen. Other musings about the future of SOA and Web 2.0 can be found at the SOA Chief blog.

This week Ronald McCarty writes about an issue that is frightenly near and dear to those of us who live on the east coast: the theft of 45.7 million credit card numbers from TJX Corp, which owns and operates TJMax stores.

Not that I'm admitting to shopping at a TJMax... OKAY! I admit it! ... But now I wonder, did I really need to use my credit card to pay for those faux-antique napkin rings? The were under $7.50!

Ronald who writes the IT Net Admin blog is an expert in IT security. He offers consulting services for companies who would prefer not to end up like TJX.
