Random thoughts, musings and things I think are interesting…

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…

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…

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…

While I find the message in Geoff Moore’s post to be compelling, I find the way he tells the story to be even more intersting.  The analogies he uses compress what would take 5,000 words to convey into a 500 (or less).  I knew there was a reason he was such a respected writer.

So I crossed the 5,000 mile mark today so I stopped by Champion VW in Florence to get my initial service today.  To be honest, I was going to stop by Friday since I had more time, but I called them first thing and got a VM.  Even though I left a message, I never…

As hopefully some of you noticed, my blog server went down for at least 24 hours.  Not sure why, but since it was a SUnday and I don’t post too often on Sunday I didn’t notice until I was at work today and tried to make a few posts before starting work.  I remember hearing…

I have been using Mind Jet Mind Manager since version 4 and am a very big fan.  I use it almost anytime I need to ‘compose’ something, whether it be a new program plan, a brochure or a presentation.  I have used it a few times as an ongoing program dashboard, but mostly I use…

Well I was somewhat dissappointed in the iPod announements on Tuesday.  As I blogged earlier, I lost my 30 GB 4G iPod about 10 days ago and I was waiting for the new iPod announcement before deciding what to replace it with.  If Apple had come out with the widely anticipated ‘true’ video iPod that…

As I ink blogged a few days ago, I installed Vista RC1 on my TC1100.  The install process worked fine and was complete in about 40 minutes.  It took me a bit longer to get the button drivers to work (the trick is to set the properties on the installer to run in Windows XP…
