  • Out of the woods

    Well it looks like Goliath will be OK.  He is still at risk for infection, but the injury itself was “as good as it could have been”.  There was no injury to his coffin joint (I wonder why they call it that?) nor were any bones broken in his foot.  He was in surgery for…

  • A quick trip to the horsey hospital

    Got a phone call from my wife today that one of our horses got boogered up in something.  Made it home in record time an less than an hour later we were on our way to Lexington to go to a horse hospital.  We’re there now (yes, the horse hospital has free internet access and…

  • When virtual worlds collide

    I’ve been digging around Second Life for a few weeks and so far I think there are a lot of possibilities.  Virtual trade shows, virtual meetings, product announcements.  However this is something a little different – virtual planning for a different virtual world. Metroblogging Azeroth: At Last! Something useful to do with Second Life!

  • David Berlind is absolutely right

    While I am not exactly in the Nick Carr “IT Doesn’t matter” camp, I think David Berlind of ZDNet is really on to something when it comes to SMBs and the acqusition of new technology. » SMBs should outsource everything and vendors must adjust | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com

  • Just to complete the circle

    Since I just did a Zombie post, I feel compelled to follow-up with a post on Pirate and Ninjas.  Cool game, even if its just a demo for now.  And this may be the only way we will ever be able to determine once and for all who will win. Ninja Loves Pirate

  • (Zombie) War of the worlds?

    I was driving back from Columbus yesterday and tuned into the Cincinnati NPR station. The interview below came on and I have to say it was one of the funniest things I have heard on any NPR show in a long time. I can’t believe they author and the interviewer could stay straight for so…

  • Good sports weekeend

    For two weekends in a row, both the college football team I follow (the Kentucky Wildcats) and the pro team (Cincinnati Bengals) both won.  I can’t think of a stretch when that happened in the last few years.  The Wildcats win was the most gratifying since they haven’t won their SEC opener since 1987.  What’s…

  • Lock-in via openness

    This is really clever.  Fedex is opening up access to their systems so that 3rd party and in house developers can connect and get data.  Once they do this they will be much more likely to use FEDEX services…and far less likely to care what their competitors websites have to say when they can get…

  • Scoble brings me back down to earth

    I had seen a post on the AMD virtual trade show a few days ago and got really intrigued by the thought.  I have been personally involved in orchestrating a few of our trade show presences and always have marvelled at the waste of money they seem to be.  In many cases the few we…
