After much discussion and musing we have finally launched “Wires are Evil”, the official Metrix blog. The name “Wires are Evil” came up last year while thinking of a tag line for the new version of our online store. I wanted something that illustrates the excitement we have for wireless and also the excitement we experience from peers, customers and other folk in the wireless industry. At the same time I wanted something sticky and funny. When it came time to setup our blog it the name seemed to carry over well.

Why a company blog? Customers like talking to us because we are able to provide them with good information that has technical merit rather than a canned sales pitch. Wires are Evil is a vehicle for us to provide more of that to everyone who reads the site, not just people we talk too or exchange email with. Additionally through comments and track backs it opens up a two way communication channel so we can hear more for our customers and visitors.

As for me, I bought my first piece of wireless networking hardware in 1999 around the same time I met Matt and got invovled with Seattlewireless. Over the past 13 years I have run the guantlet of the tech industry, from broke startups to fortune 500 companies, Systems Adminsration, Network Engineering and Information Security, I have left very few stones unturned and keep looking for new ones to peak under. A couple of years ago I decided to become a partner at Metrix and haven’t looked back since.
