Welcome Back!

Happy New Year everyone! As 2012 begins, I'll remind you of something that I think of on a regular basis� the only constant is change.

2011 was an unusual year for many reasons. We saw political upheaval in many places, a high number of natural disasters, and an economy that struggled� and still continues to do so.

However, despite the "doom & gloom" of some pundits, I'm optimistic that 2012 is going to be a whole lot better. With more stability in the middle east after the "Arab Spring" and a presidential election that is gearing up, I truly think the economy will continue to improve. We've seen a strong progression in the stock market in a positive fashion in the last year which should bode well for the coming year as well.

For those reasons, I'm bullish on 2012 and what it means for the tech sector, for dentistry, and well� er� for the tech sector of dentistry too.

So in 2012, I will be hard at work to find the type of things you've come to expect here. My goal is to keep you informed of high tech that can help you if you are in health care (especially dentistry) as well as high tech for your personal life or if you aren't in a health care related field. I get a chance to see and experiecne a lot of cool things as Technology Editor for Dental Products Report but there is just no way I can manage to get all of those things into the magazine. That's what is so great about this blog. It gives me a daily outlet to let you know what I've managed to get my hands on or what I've managed to dig up. I've got some great ideas for this year, so check back daily.

Oh, and if you have an idea of something that you would like to see covered either here or in Dental Products Report, feel free to drop me a Tweet or an email. Here's to an *amazing* 2012!!!
