Dave Levy's Weblog
http://blogs.sun.com/DaveLevy
A series of articles about my job at Sun, some serious, some less so, covering Business, Economics, Management, Technology, Culture & Silliness. These articles are written for grown ups, although the material is mainly professionally relevant, and as such boring to the young and impressionable. Occasionally I may breach the grounds of good taste. Some of these articles may even contain original thought, views and ideas. I do hope so!
