On this website you can read selected columns (originally written for and published in a local weekly community newspaper) covering business and Internet related topics, tailored for the technology novice and expert alike. Check out my "Bits of Life" blog for regular discussion on column topics, local news, new technologies, business information, local eats and other interesting bits.

For a list of other Mike/Michael Hiemstra's, all of whom I've never met, see here.

Sites I recommend:

• The Cluetrain Manifesto - Created back in 1999, an "oldie" in Internet time, but still a "goodie". Now they are offering the entire text of the book on-line.

• The MAKE: Magazine blog is a lot of fun for anyone that likes to tinker with electronics or crafts.

• Paul Graham's Essays Great reading for software developers and entrepreneurs.

By the way... this site is developed using an open source software package called Drupal.
