While there may some question with the longevity aspect of Flash Drives for any kind of use in data center applications, the performance compared to legacy HDD is a compelling argument to pursue the possibilities.
So Google is talking publicly about security, no surprise there, but Jay Neely over at Social Strategist Blog thinks its a deeper indication of a move by Google into the security software market. Will there be a Google Security Client package soon?
Looks like Microsoft’s Windows Mobile has helped grow the mobile device market by 40% in the 1st quarter of this year. Good news!

What I find amazing after leaving corporate life is that there are actually other people out there in business. While that is a ‘super doh!’ statement, I hadn’t really taken the time to notice other people and what they do for a living. How many people actually work out of coffee shops, cafes and other public locations. The construction workers, office workers, waiters, public safety, librarians, mechanics… of course the list is endless, but how much we all interact and depend on each other’s services and abilities.
The shear number of people who offer services, sell products, etc… just doesn’t seem to sink in when you’re in a 6’x8′ cube worrying about some other entities (i.e. big companies) problems. While, I’ve been working on growing Avatar Consultants, I’ve been able to take a few deep breaths and look at what other people do. It’s opened my eyes to the real world again, something that I’d been missing in corporate and I revel in my newfound freedoms.

Even though Microsoft won’t be offering their own line of home server hardware, they did commission this beautiful design for the proof of concept.
Though I will probably build my home server from the ground up, the consumer crowd will love designs like this.

While I’m trying to get things moving on the consulting front, Amy and I have been talking about a lot of recreational opportunities. We’ve got a busy week preparing for this coming weekend as we have a lot planed. But also, we’re getting outfitted for the rest of the summer and into the next several years.
Didn’t think we would do as much as we have, but we’re now outfitted for canoeing and backpacking. This is something that we’ve been trying to do more of for the last several years. It has finally happened, and we can’t wait for every weekend, every available day that we’ll use to get out and do more outside. Getting out of the corporate world has been a reawakening for me – I really am getting my life back, the important things are becoming clearer again.
Any way, we’ve got a lot of prep work to finish up today and tomorrow before we head out. Packing, meal prep, and many others. It really is one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in a long time – and I love it.

The rumors are true – here is a Dell Official with a short video introducing the Tablet PC. Though it will be in the corporate-focused Latitude line, details and a model name was not mentioned. More to be reveiled in the fall, which just so happens to b
