In addition to books, I’ve written a lot of articles, essays, reports, and other long form content. For many years, I was an analyst at RedMonk and wrote analyst reports, and then at 451 Research for a short time. Also, I’ve had a column at The Register and have pieces in the tech press from time to time. I’ve written a lot of stuff for Pivotal/VMware.
I don’t know: I’m surprisingly bad at cataloging it all. You browse by categories and tags as well.
