Welcome to my blog. I’ve been on the sidelines of blogging for a long time. It’s taken me a while to get this blog off the groun given my hectic personal and professional life. Adding yet another item to the list was a daunting idea. But becoming part of the conversation in cyberspace has a seductive appeal to someone like me. Now I’m in the game and I’m excited.
So what can you expect from this blog? I cover emerging technologies for Gartner so you can expect to see me post about the cool new things I encounter – particularly in the areas of user interface and interaction technologies. I also lead Gartner’s research agenda on cloud computing along with David Mitchell Smith so you will hear a lot from me about this disruptive phenomena. Finally you can expect to see me opine about the Web in general from both personal and professional perspectives.
One more thing: I grew up in Kansas City and I’m a huge barbeque fan so I’ll try and sneak in some fun stuff once in a while. All work and no play …
So off I go. I hope that you find my posts interesting, sometimes challenging and always entertaining. Give me feedback on what you think about my posts and point me to other interesting information on the web. That’s what blogging is all about.

David – glad to see this blog up and running, and I look forward to hearing a lot more about the emerging technologies you’re covering.
My own focus might be the Semantic Web, but that’s just a part of the whole… and closely related to many of your latest Top Ten.

[...] David Cearley’s take on this strategic technology is that the coming 5 years the standards and technologies still significantly. That web-based solutions will improve that much that global-class solutions that can fulfill enterprise computing needs – the web as the ultimo service oriented architecture. In the data value space we see already an increasing demand and supply of web-based solutions that seamlessly fit in such service oriented solutions - think about all the Cloud and SaaS initiatives. Technologies like – and the global adoption of - SOAP, REST and AJAX definitely gave the right boost to transform SOA into WOA. [...]

Hi Dave! I accidentally ran across your blog when searching a different Gartman. Glad to see you’re doing well. Remember the long days of typesetting for the initial Smart Software. That was before we used modems! At least the first version. Remember playing golf at Dub’s Dread that time the storm hit. Our wives thought we got blown away by a tornado. Take care.
