Vindu Goel, the new San Jose Mercury News business columnist, writes Wednesday that he will use the column to push and prod.
“With this column and my related blog, I hope to be a catalyst for a community conversation on how to improve our lives as employers, inventors, workers and consumers.
“Sometimes I will push companies to do the right thing, such as treating customers like they’re actually important and shareholders as the owners of the company. Sometimes I will help consumers figure out how to save money or guard their privacy. Sometimes I will tell government to get more involved in our lives – or to stop meddling.
“I won’t be afraid to bring out the cattle prod for those who deserve it. But I won’t overlook the valley’s heroes, either.”

I'm looking forward to your columns (though I'll be reading them mostly in the dead-tree version). Even my wife commented on it in the Merc.
To learn about new developments in technology, I recommend my own IEEE blog (www.e-grid.net/BayAreaTech) and its associated RSS feed (www.e-grid.net/rss/). It's a way to tap the stream of new technology developments that are disclosed and discussed at local IEEE chapter meetings (most of them free).
Isn't it great living in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area?!
