Welcome to the CF2 TechNotes Blog. This is designed to be a way for me–Curt Franklin–to talk about the products and technologies I see as I’m working through various projects and articles in the computer industry.

I’ve been looking at new products and emerging technologies for over 20 years for magazines like BYTE, Circuit Cellar INK, InfoWorld, and Network Computing. I’ve run testing labs for various publications, as well as a commercial testing lab that produced its own set of benchmark tests and custom work for very large and well-known clients.

Why start a blog? Well, there are several reasons, but they all revolve around having a place to write about the scores of product and technology news items I see every week that I’ll never be able to source into a paper publication. I might well have some colleagues join me here, and there will certainly be podcasts associated with the CTB.

We’re starting out with comments turned off. They may be turned on for individual posts, but in general you’ll need to send e-mail to me if you’d like me to see your comments. If you don’t want everyone to see a comment, let me know in your message–otherwise, I’ll consider it fair game for posting here.

The CF2 TechNotes Blog will evolve and grow. I hope it will be enjoyable and useful reading, but I mostly hope that I’ll be able to tell some good stories and point you to interesting stuff I’ve found. Thanks for stopping by…We’ll get started soon.
