In which we link out to the tech news from Philly and elsewhere (when it matters) that slips through the cracks and make it way fun. See others here.
- The Inquirer reports on the retirement of Arthur Lendo, noted for taking tiny Rittenhouse-based
PiercePeirce College from regional “Oh, I didn’t even realize that was real college” to “if I heard of them it was because of their online education program.”Don’t give him too much credit, though. A Google search of “Pierce College” yields a California school first. ..Bah.
We get some Navy IT, the Flyers soar and three other tech stories you should read including our most trafficked post of the week.
More:
- ReadWriteWeb gives a bit deeper analysis on Center City business metrics firm RJMetrics, which we reported open public business last week.
- The Inquirer reports blandly and insufficiently that the U.S. Navy has awarded a contract to set up and manage an IT equipment warehouse somewhere in Philadelphia. We’ll investigate.
- Paul Greenberg gives you too much information on his sports interests in the opening of a lengthy discussion of the succeeding promotions of the Philadelpia Flyers — including detailed use of the Web and tech.
- Perhaps the only thing worse than a Washington Post columnist writing a column in 2009 that begins with “I finally set up a Facebook account,” is that the Inquirer paid to actually put it in its “technology” section. Ew.
