IT Manager's Journal

In preparation for the February launch of three new products -- Windows Server 2008, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 -- Microsoft and Seagate are co-sponsoring a Web comic designed to showcase IT developers and professionals as "unsung heroes." The comic, named Heros Happen Here, takes a light-hearted look at the profession and its inherent challenges. Cartoonist and former DC Comics editor Jordan B. Gorfinkel is turning to IT workers in the trenches for inspiration and, according to a press release, is "counting on the IT community for ideas and support as this comic strip goes forward." Now instead of just imagining thought bubbles over the heads of your IT staff during team meetings, you might actually get to see it in pixels.
