Blogger Meetup Correction
I had lamented that IBM was late to the party for meetups, but bragged that we were having a meetup at RSDC on Tuesday June 6th from 6-8 at the bar by the escalator at the Dolphin Hotel.
Well, the egg is on my face as blogger compatriot, Ed Brill let me know they’d already done [...]
We Remember
Today is Memorial day here in the states. It is the day that we remember the 800,000+ who gave their lives, paying the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of America and other countries. Although this is an American remembrance, many from other counties also died for our freedom.
I shed a tear in church [...]

I was watching qualifying for the Coca Cola 600 and the first car that came out had, no kidding, CatDaddy Carolina Moonshine as the sponsor. What a great combination.
Recalling history, during prohibition, moonshine was run through the backwoods of North Wilksboro, North Carolina by the forerunners of Nascar. They souped up their cars [...]
Gearing up for RSDC
All attention for me from now till June 4th is on RSDC in Orlando. We have the next edition of the show blog by execs and analysts (we were the first IBM group to try this last year), we have podcasts. We’ll have the first IBM blogger meetup (see below). So [...]

This weekend is the Grand Prix of Monaco. A principality barely a mile long, but a tax free haven that sports more millionaires per square inch than perhaps anywhere in the world. It also has fantastic history and equally good names for corners. Nothing against Nascar 3 or Indy 1, but Mirabeau, [...]

I went from 7 days a week to almost cold turkey on the newspaper, and don’t seem to miss it much. I got the Raleigh News and Observer.
There are a number of reasons why:
The news was 24 hours late

I couldn’t believe what they wrote due to [...]
Today is Armed Forces Day
To those who put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedom.

Yes we are still having the meetup at the same time and same place, but our host will be Danny Sabbah due to the untimely surgery that Grady is having.
I hope you’ll all wish him good luck and keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and pay your respects at the meetup in his honor.
Blogger Meetup at RSDC
IBM will be having it’s first ever meetup at RSDC in the Dolphin Hotel at Disney from 6-8 on Tuesday June 6th during the Rational Software Development Conference.
This is somewhat significant as we’re doing a meetup, but you’d expect a blogging company to do these things. Well, we weren’t the first company to blog [...]
119 people died, and not one killed by Jack Bauer…
….on last night’s episode. 107 on a Russian went down to centox nerve gas (a hidden container not previously accounted for), one American officer on the same sub and 12 special forces agents.
Next week is the 2 hour finale, and since the bad guys have 12 multiple warhead missles and are terrorists, Jack will [...]
