Technology
Technology is, by far, my favorite topic. I love trying new tools all the time, and for years I have hunted for the ones that make my life easier. On this site I focus on technology like Microsoft's Power Platform, but plenty of other interesting technology is out there. When I find a tool or app that is truly useful, I write about it. I will never try to sell you anything, and I have no affiliation with the makers of these tools. I simply share my experience with tools that work well for me and might solve a problem you have. There is no rule about what shows up here. It can be something I use at work or in my personal life. What matters most is that you learn something new, and that you point me toward cool tools worth trying too.
