Most of you are not old enough to remember Grok from the old Industry Standard…it was a bold idea, to take the vernacular of an exploding industry and demystify it for enterprise and entrepreneur alike.  “When you claim to ‘grok’ some knowledge or technique, you are asserting that you have not merely learned it in a detached instrumental way but that it has become part of you, part of your identity.” – Jargon File

For The Standard, it was a way to further establish itself as THE source for information and dialogue on the Internet.  Well, those are ambitious goals and ones we will aspire to as we bring Grok to you in a new form.  Analysis, wit, insight and provocation will pepper the pieces and who knows, maybe someone will read it once in a while.  Feel free to comment, forward and delete as you wish.  JL
