| Tech $alaries
If you're interested in learning what other Tech people earn, you'll want to download the 2013 Salary Guide For Technology Professionals from Robert Half. Page 14 of the report lists local variances with the bottom city listed is Lincoln Nebraska at 78.2 and the highest variance in New York City at 141. Hawaii at 92 is actually better than expected.
"Hot skills" for next year? "Competition is expected to be particularly fierce for professionals who can support mobile, big data, cloud and virtualization initiatives."

"The Can't Miss Social Media Trends for 2012"
 Ryan Holmes, CEO of Hootsuite, has a vested interest in social media. Still, there are huge points of interest that grab our attention. McKinsey last year indicated there is an untapped business value of social technologies in the amount of $1.3 trillion, mostly in improved office productivity. Think of the access to "big data" provided by social media. Read his article that appeared in the latest issue of Fast Company.

The Internet of Everything
Dave Evans' official

Dave Evans, Futurist
|
job title is "Futurist" and this Cisco executive says all of his predictions have come true. He writes a blog for Cisco and has started a theme called the "Internet of Everything" (IoE). In the first blog of the series, "Cisco defines IoE as bringing together people, process, data, and things to make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before-turning information into actions that create new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunity for businesses, individuals, and countries." There are many blogs to read. This series from Dave Evans is a good one.

In partnership with the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center, PCATT hosted two courses in November for individuals involved with disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation responsibilities. Both social media courses were lively with great instructors including Burt Lum, Don Aweau, Stephen Itoga, and Neenz Faleafine. It doesn't get any better than that, does it? You too can be part of this free training. We'll be scheduling more training in the new year.

Can the topic of security be funny? The answer is "yes" if you're a talented cartoonist like John Klossner. Again, we end our eZine with something light and off-beat. Enjoy these John Klossner cartoons about security.
