There's hope for Colorado, folks. It looks like our newly-elected Governor, Bill Ritter, wants to make sure no more computer system fiascoes occur on his watch. A very encouraging story appeared in this morning's Rocky Mountain News: Governor seeks to bring order to computer chaos. Written by Ann Imse and Alan Gathright, it discusses the hiring of Mike Locatis as CIO for the State, and the powers given him under an executive order signed by the governor to exercise the proper management control over all IT development and operations in State government. I am encouraged by this long overdue move, and think that you will be too. Read the story. I may have to quit whining about this topic and focus on the Global Text Project.
Speaking of Global Text, please take a look at our new website, www.globaltext.org , developed by up2speedsolutions.com. Joshua Ross, a former student of mine, is the company's president. He and his team did a great job for us.
