It is all thanks to a couple of hand picked topics. - Well the winner is a post about a shortcut that we usually use. Anyway, that is going to take sometime for me to figure out what is going to roll in this world next but somewhere I feel I need to change the gears in the topics selected for new blog posts.  Can that be core technology posts? Well it can be, but there are thousands of them and they are doing a great jo...
