For a while now I’ve been tossing around a blog post idea related to translating the phrase of “we’re different.”  Well today was the day I was going to make this happen (and I may still make it happen), but when I logged on to my WordPress blog I came across a spam in my comments that I just couldn’t ignore.  Now, spam in comments is nothing new (if you want to enlarge certain body parts, Brazil seems to be the place to be).  However the spam for today was quite interesting that it came from an ITIL training company and that the comment referenced Top 5 Benefits for Adopting ITIL.  While I do appreciate websites that endorse the adoption and use of ITIL, regardless of criticism from the IT Skeptic, I really can’t ignore how cheap it is to advertise in the comments section.  If you want to advertise, please feel free to contact me directly and discuss how we can make this happen (like any red-blooded American, I am not against endorsing vendors if 1) I think you have a good product and 2) it can fund my never-ending need of wasteful consumer habits, a.k.a., buying an iPAD 2).

So, to end this blog post/rant, Nathan at Siliconbeachtraining.co.uk (silicon beach…this sounds more like plastic surgery than IT training), please do us both a favor and ask me if you don’t mind me plugging your products or services.  Like I said, if it’s actually worthwhile, I have no problem throwing my (probably useless) seal of approval on it.  And to make you happy for today, Nathan, here’s a link to the Top 5 Benefits for Adopting ITIL.

Started working in IT in 1999 as a support desk analyst as a way to help pay for food during college. Studied Electrical Engineering for two years before realizing biochemistry was more fun than differential equations, and so ultimately graduated with a Biology degree in 2006. Having (reluctantly) failed at getting accepted into dental school, embraced working in IT and has gone broke becoming an ITIL Expert. Likes to jog, sing camp songs, quote Mel Brooks movie lines and make dumb jokes and loves working for an Israeli tech company where December 25th is a regular work day.
