About the Blog

Michael Accelerated is a technology focused publication launched in October 2022 by Michael Quick, master of puns. The blog covers old projects and reflections therein as well as the future of – and possibilities with – the hybrid cloud.

The goal of this blog is to take the brutally complicated aspects of Linux, Kubernetes, Containerization, Virtualization, IoT, Networking, and more, and break them down for understanding with humor, analogies, and empathy that these topics are not easy.

Fun Facts:

• Birthday: February 12th, here's to you Abe!
• Most Fun Job: Level 1 IT at an elementary school in my earlier days
• First computer: Dell dimension I pieced back together after getting in trouble for taking it apart at 8 years old in my basement with pure luck, a lot of free time, and frustration.
• First Job: I asked a local sound/lighting org if I could work with them and learn about lighting design. I did this from the time I was 13 to 18 working sometimes with relatively big names which was a blast.
