Hi everyone and welcome to "Communicat.us" !

This blog is a way for us to communicate and by us I mean both those of us writing this blog as well as you who read it. We want to share what we know and hope you will do the same !

Besides myself, you will get to read regular posts by Tim and Seth. We will also be hosting a number of guest authors from our team and the broader community.

While we could blog about anything and everything, for the most part we will focus on technology, trends, architectures, and environments which are of special interest to members of the US Federal community, Department of Defense, and intelligence communities.

So use the link on the right on the right to add us to your feed reader and feel free to post your comments !
