About
This is the homepage for James Brokaw. I'm a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy, currently stationed in Washington State. I'm a avowed snow lover, part-time ski instructor, and year-round backcountry enthusiast. The header photo was taken of me atop Cowboy Mountain. Other hobbies include hacking, juggling, and generally being geeky.
This page exists primarily to serve as a homepage and link list for my web server, but it's set up as a blog, and I'll post interesting thoughts and ideas here.

David Gewirtz wrote a great price entitled ““Apple is not your mother”(ZDNet Article)”:http://government.zdnet.com/?p=8177 in which he examines Apple’s motives in restricting what can and cannot be put onto an iPad. His conclusion is Apple suffers from Steve Jobs’s personality, and is effectively a corporate control freak incapable of following its own best interests. But what about the best interests of the consumer? How should we feel about Apple products?
