This site is the personal site of Mike Turro. This site is in a state of flux. This site is an experiment, a process, a way to take the words, images, and sounds that I create or find in the wild and use them as the base materials for an exploration of emerging web standards and practices. This site is an exercise in design technology. This site is unprofessional and broken. This site is open and evolving [in plain sight].

This is an accurate, kind of tongue-in-cheek look at a certain type of manager that exists, not only in the newspaper industry, but in the magazine world as well. When you get right down to it I would imagine that this type of personality is prevalent in almost all industries. No matter where you go or what business you’re in you will run across somebody who just can’t change. Hell, even among the digital natives on Facebook you will find those who just can’t handle change – look at the protest over the new FB design. This fear is not generational – it’s human – but it still needs to be overcome.
