Answer to my post the other day: what else can go wrong
Short version: I crashed my car up a bit last night. Long version: never in my life have I seen 1/4 of rain cause so much havoc. In the Cincinnati area we have been in a bit of a cold spell for the last few days. Never getting out of the 20s in the day…

Confidence
Anyone who reads here regularly (all 4 of you ;-)) know that I try to stay away from the political arena. Trust me, I have opinions, I just choose to mostly keep them to myself. However, the economic morass that is developing before our eyes (“just because you are alive doesn’t mean that what’s happening…

What more can go wrong?
Well it’s been an exciting Christmas break so far. Things got off to a great start when on Friday, I lost my wedding band somewhere in the barn! 4 hours of searching on Friday and Saturday (including the use of a useless rented metal detector) and no ring. Having given up hope, we started to…

Re-emerging
Things have been quiet around here for the last few months (here and on Twitter, Facebook and Yammer). I’ve been heads down and reasonably singly threaded on a work project that is finally seeing the light of day this morning. This new micro-site on the Siemens PLM Software web site is setup to tell our…

Oh the agony

Dogs
For some reason we seem to be accumulating dogs lately. No, we’re not buying them, they are just showing up. It started with the Black and Tan coon dog on the left. We now know he officially belongs to one of our neighbors down the street, but he spends a good 1/3rd of his time…

Will the move to the cloud lead to an IT market melt down?
I have been leading up the deployment of a software as a service project inside our company since March of this past year. The project has gone really well and it has let me flex a lot of project management muscles that had atrophied over the previous few years. Its also given me a first…

My new deal
Another iPhone post, so leave a comment if autocorrect makes something non-sensical. I’ve been holding off doing a post on the financial crisis, but have had some time to digest everything and have seen enough to know this isn’t a media invented event to sell ads and keep us tuned in to 24 hour news…
