Why, you might ask, would anyone who frequents TechMiso want to read articles about health? Health in today’s world full of processed food and sedentary lifestyles should be everyone’s concern, especially those who spend a major portion of their days sitting in front of a computer.
As an ex-overweight IT professional I have seen way too many good techs succumb to the epidemic of the expanded midsection and the inevitable decline in general health. We simply cannot afford to keep losing the valuble experience of these dedicated individuals to the impending heart attack or stroke.

As most folks have noticed, TechMiso has not been producing vast quantities of Miso Soup over the course of the past couple weeks. Comparing our two-week output to each week prior and it becomes evident that our Miso Soup kitchen is not performing up to our high standards. In the interest of full disclosure and rather than keep our faithful readers in the dark, I would like to enlighten everyone on the status of the Miso Soup.

When Scott first tweeted that he was looking for a writer for TechMiso, it took me a few days to tell him that I was interested simply because I wasn’t sure if I was. Could I get myself back into the writing game? Did I have enough time between a full-time job and studying for a professional paper? Then I smacked myself in the face and told myself to stop whining. From then on, it took over a week of mulling over what I wanted to write about. It didn’t help that he basically gave me carte blanche to write about whatever I wanted. I bugged people on Twitter, on mIRC, over wine, and basically anywhere and everywhere IRL and online.

The Miso Soup loving tandem behind TechMiso thought it would be fun to start a new weekly “open post” feature strictly aimed at our community. The idea is to write one article a week which has no intent whatsoever other than to allow you, our beloved participants, to post comments on whatever your hearts desire.

Scott, the driving force, and my close cohort here at TechMiso, challenged me to write up a ‘hidden gems’ article covering my past efforts here on the site. I’ll be first to admit — my blogging is [far] off Scott’s lead lap. Even more so in recent months with pressing business and changes in family schedules.
I did however take a moment to dig up a few Miso nuggets here to (re)share for those who may have missed them -or- if you might have recently hopped on the TechMiso train.

Just over two months ago, Scott and I took the plunge and launched TechMiso — putting us on the vast blogospheric map. As Scott put it in our first State Of The Miso,
this is our tribute to technology evangelism and miso soup.
It’s fun to say that we are running now for over 61 days with zero downtime on the TechMiso record. With no further ado, here’s our stats as we stand now:

Some time early Monday afternoon Tokyo time, we migrated the TechMiso commenting system to Disqus from IntenseDebate. Not a single comment was lost during the migration. None. Zero! We backup each and every comment locally in addition to publishing the comment with the third-party commenting service for just this very reason.

Surveys often indicate strong positive sentiment towards IT training and certifications — proving again and again that being qualified on IT products is not only beneficial to the individual holding the certification, but that certs also substantially increase value to a company and their IT teams.
Microsoft and Apple alike back their proven business applications with extensive industry-approved IT curriculum aimed at certification in both end-user and system administrator roles.
In Part I here of ‘Microsoft Training vs. Apple Training‘ we’ll take a look at Apple’s version of a professional certification lineup.

It was a mere 31 days ago when Rich and I launched TechMiso, our tribute to technology evangelism and Miso Soup. The site is still in its adolescence but continues to display signs of a small but thriving community of people interested both in TechMiso directly and in Rich and I personally. Throughout the excitement of our birth, what has the last 31 days of existence brought to TechMiso?
