Just wanted to take a second to clarify my purpose in having this blog. It's not my intent to use this is a news distribution service. A few of the bloggers that I read often focus on news dissemination and they have their place - it's just not the place that I want for this blog to live. I want to publish original works, including papers, position statements, and utilities that may be of interest to others in the Connected Systems community.
That said, I do leverage the work of lots of others in the blogging community and as such will occassionally link to their original works. Please check out any cross-links that are of interest to you.
