Wow… here’s a tax I never knew New York had under it’s belt – the Jock Tax. I believe that professional athletes are grossly overpaid, but targeting a tax specifically on their profession seems even more unfair than the fact that guys that could barely graduate from high school make multimillion dollar salaries [...]

Ahh… Lotusphere. You go to learn, to be immersed in new technology, to see glimpses of the future, and to be bathed in yellow goodness (yellow is the new black!). The only problem is leaving and coming back to the reality that your company has no plan to upgrade to Notes/Domino 7 [...]

Derek had to get up early to go to a 7AM conference.  He left and thought I would be sleeping in, but when he got back he was surprized to see me standing there showered, dresssed, packed and ready to go!  We hopped on two busses and got to our next hotel, the Disney All-Star [...]

Ah, yes, Disney.  There’s nothing like it.  While Derek was at his conferences on Wednesday, I was up early and strolling around the best, in my humble opinion, five or so resorts in Walt Disney World.  With the lake in between them all, you can walk, bike or skate your way around the Swan, Dolphin, [...]

“Lotus – the final frontier. These are the days of Lotusphere. It’s continuing mission – to seek out new connections and new technologies; to boldly go where no company has gone before.” – Patrick Stewart, Lotusphere 2004 Opening General Session
It’s Lotusphere week, and this year’s keynote speaker did not hail from the [...]

Thanks to all the bands who participated on the Bring It Back To Life CD to benefit the Central Terminal. Special thanks to No Effect, Breakerbox, McCarthyizm, The Feast, and The Filter Kings for their great job performing last night at the CD Release Party. And a big thank you to Greg Wojda [...]
