I am working on a new team with my company. It is a 'center for innovation' as the current jargon goes. We are looking for a permanent title. Currently we are the Center for Technology, Media, and Telecommunications.

The center is focused on our Technology, Media and Telecommunications industry practice, although the knowledge it will create will apply more broadly in the areas of business strategy, organization, and operations. The Center’s goal is to produce thoughtware that is proactive, perspective driven, provocative, prescriptive, pragmatic, plugged-in and participatory.

An interesting clip I thought I would share... Why can't Mormons send Flowers ?

I may need to find a new way to work(ugh) The safety that i have felt against the new fine laws in VA. seems to be quickly coming to an end...

A judge has thrown out Virginia's odious new speeding fines on equal protection grounds—the fines only apply to motorists with Virginia license plates, not motorists from other states passing through or visiting. The fines, you may remember, range from $1,000 to $3,000, and can be applied for as minor an infraction as an improper signal, or driving 15 mph over the speed limit.

I saw this posted on the QOHS Alumni website concerning the class of '92 class reunion.

~ Reunion
Greetings everyone! We will not be having a 15 year high school reunion but will definitely have one for our 20 year. More details to come in the near future, but in the meantime, please be sure to update or add your information so we are able to contact you. Thank you!

Surface Computing is some pretty cool technology that M$ has been developing. Take a look. I especially like the wireless features that they discuss towards the end of the video. I can't wait to find one to play with.

In case you don't, the Department of Homeland Security can assist.

Take a look - it's just too funny to miss.

Around Christmas last year, we had to buy a new entertainment center that was able to handle the new TV we bought. The new entertainment center has more of a credenza look to it. There are two glass paneled doors which the various gear for the Home theater and gaming systems sit behind. Those areas have a "slot" in the back that allows for the cables to leave the area.

The problem I am having is with heat. The one cabinet area houses an A/V receiver, a Direct TV DVR (Heat intollerant), a DVD Player, and a X-box 360 (with reported heat intollerance). If I leave the door shut on the area with this equipment the gear get too hot and has issues with working. Everything seems happy if I leave the door open (greather air flow) - but that kind of negates the whole esthetic reason for having the glass doors.

I was having a pretty rough day until my coworker sent over Star Trek meets Monty Python

There is just no good way to present this. Just when you think you had seen everything.

(Please give me a few moments as I wipe the tears away.)
