Well I went back and updated my LinkedIn profile that I originally created early in 2006. To my surprise, there were several people in my own department at work with profiles on LinkedIn – two of them managers! Pretty cool.
So now that’s as current as it can get at this time. You can view my profile at the link below.
We’ll I’m back on IM again. You can find me on the following instant messenger systems:
Google Talk (preferred)
Windows Live Messenger
I’m not connected all the time, but you may find me from time to time. I’m currently trying to keep contacts to just friends, family, and coworkers, so you’ll have to email me to find out what accounts I’m using for each.
Personally, I’m still disgusted with the feature overload of Windows Live Messenger – the simplicity of GTalk is much better. My main goal of getting back into IM was to stick to, well, instant messaging and not all the other features.

Google Calendar is on the rise. I’ve recently started keeping my schedule in an online calendar and guess which one I’ve chosen? My only complaint is that I’ve both a Gmail and a Google Hosted Email for my domain. I’ve got a GCal for each account – whi
This type of news is the turning point (though not tipping point) of innovation. What I mean is that as more manufacturers churn out larger flash drives, and the trend towards lightweight, easy mobility in our computing devices, the more we have true inn
Finally my pleas have been answered – but is it too little too late? With the boon of online Web 2.0 services, is there really a place in the home for a dedicated server? Will the average consumer really make use of this when they have Flickr, or use de
I’m not sure that many would. The biggest use of a home server would be for storing recorded video in its original high-quality state.
Most consumers don’t know what they would need a server for and those that have moved into recording or watching video content are using services like SlingBox or Orb. These types of services allow them to watch live TV over the Internet from anywhere with a broadband connection.
What else would consumers use a server for? Let’s try some ideas:
Email: No, Yahoo, GMail, Live Mail, and many others have that tied up – why host or store your email anymore?
Streaming Media: Why, with YouTube, online audio services, iPod/iTunes, and the like would you want to manage all those files and stream them?
Web Server: Huh, all the free blogging services, hosting services and such – even the fee-based services are cheap! Why bother with managing a server?
IM: Nope, GTalk, Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc… is where your friends are. Not “Bob’s Messenger” with you and your mom.
Well, I can’t come up with much more in the time I have, but you get the drift. A year ago, I still would have thought this was a great idea, but now I think MS would be better served coming up with better Vista licensing plans for consumers with multiple computers – Office too!
As governor, the State Capitol will stand for unity and common sense.
In addition to the POW/MIA flag that has long flown over the State Capitol, we will fly two flags when I am governor: the Wisconsin state flag and the American flag.
