First I'd like to welcome you to my personal home on the web. My name is Brian Austin and this site is a collection of writings on a wide range of topics that interest me. There are several sections to better organize everything:

• Articles - Full length items that typically deal with career issues, product reviews
  or test drives of the latest Web 2.0 services.


• Editorials - Shorter and more to the point. These usually consist of my thoughts on
  anything from business and finance to technology and science.


• Micro Blog - Mostly short blurbs about interesting articles or buzz worthy rumors I've
  heard. This section is by no means published daily but the content is updated much more frequently. This section is powered by Tumblr


• News & Projects - Additionally you will find a link in the upper right to a
  collection of on going projects and a collection of site related announcements.

If you'd like to subscribe to a particular section, individual RSS feeds can be found on the front page for convenience.

About me:

I am an established software developer currently working in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) space of the automotive retail industry. I specialize in ASP.Net , Windows Forms and Windows Services development. I'm also an avid reader of IT security, global business and cultural topics, as well as a wide array of financial publications.

In my personal life, I am a devoted husband and father which I cherish every moment of. I'm also interested in motor sports and tinkering with automobiles. This interest was a driving force in the creation of the Ultimate Racing Game (URGO) project. Though I am no longer actively developing and administrating the game I still have an interest in resurrecting it someday.
