For several years now, I have presented my "State of the Nation" address for small business IT consultants.

I never pretend that I'm unbiased. But most of my writing is pretty matter of fact. And most of my interviewing is intended to coax information out of other people.

But once a year I dust off the soapbox and give a 45 minute "State of the Nation" address.

This year, I talked about . . .

• Highlights (lowlights?) from 2012
• The Death of SBS
• Cloud Services
• Economy
• Rebooting Your IT Consulting Business in 2013

The recording came out pretty good, so I am posting it here.
