And We Have Liftoff . .

July 4th, 2006

Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off on mission STS-121 this morning. The launch was broadcast live in High Definition on HDNet, and the video was awesome!

I’ve got to get out to Florida to see one of these in person before they stop flying them!

Alive and Kicking . . .

June 8th, 2006

I’m alive, but very busy. Due to the merger announcement, I’ve been busy identifying and freezing projects that no longer make strategic sense, and pushing others that smooth the integration of the two institutions. More on that latter.

Getting ready to break ground on the new back yard . . . and completion of the kitchen project seems to be within my grasp at last!

I’m doing some late spring-cleaning on the blog, and will soon unveil a new direction . . . and hopefully, more frequent updates. Stay tuned . . .

Coming in on Monday to find that your company has been sold to a much larger bank from the East Coast kind of sucks . . .

Watching everone fear for their jobs really sucks . . .

Ever Wonder . . .

what kind of chaos would ensue if 80 people in blue polo shirts and khakis suddenly entered a Best Buy and decided to stand around?

Improv Everywhere decided to find out . . .

I would venture to guess that in-store customer satisfaction actually increased.

I don’t make this stuff up . . .

Republican State Lawmaker in South Carolina has proposed a bill that would make it a felony to sell devices used primarily for sexual stimulation in his state. The bill goes so far as to also allow law enforcement officials to confiscate any such “contraband” when discovered.

Sounds to me like some idiotic lawmaker is trying to use state law to make up for his inadequacies after finding his wife in bed with his battery operated replacement ;)

Great Apple Ads . . .

May 1st, 2006

Apple just released two great television ads for the Macintosh . . . these are great!

Ad 1 and Ad 2 Via YouTube

And people wonder why I carry my PowerMac around to security conferences ;)

EDIT: Looks like the official Apple site has all six ads . . . Â
