Spring In Minnesota
I mentioned in a post last week while I was in Orlando that it was snowing back home! Well, guess what – I had that pleasure this morning driving into work.
Snapped a quick cameraphone pic before going inside the office.

- An updated UMPC spec, complete with its own chipset/processor pairing. Should turn out to be fairly interesting.
- More Quad-Core goodness from Intel. When will AMD bring a quad to market?
- “Webtops” that bring multiple applications into a single browser take another stab at the fabled Web operating system.Images: Making the desktop fit in a browser
- Well, here is what I’ve been talking about for some time. Let’s see if any CTO’s I know bite… Seriously, the flexibility in a solution like this from Citrix is one way to proceed in the evolution of the desktop.

- Interesting development – I had missed this last week. This will definitely complement Symantec’s existing product mix.
Didn’t use my “mobile kit” at Connections
Did you know that I didn’t actually use my “mobile kit” when I was at Connections last week? It was much too productive to simply pull out my sleeping laptop and jump on the available WiFi or T-Mobile EDGE service. This fact really makes me think harder about what my next mobile computer should be. A traditional laptop/convertible/tablet becomes a stronger option than it was two weeks ago. More thoughts on this later.
Elevated SPAM Levels
This past week I’ve seen an increase in the amount of comment spam I’ve been receiving. There have even been some attempts to get them moderated or accepted as trackback comments. Ugh! Not real bad yet, but getting close.
Back on Vista
I know I like to “ping-pong” between operating systems, but I just thought I’d mention that I’m back on Windows Vista. Since I’ve finally upgraded my major software licenses from Windows XP and Office 2003, to Windows Vista and Office 2007 – I’ll be on full shipping versions rather than late-beta and release candidate versions.
One of many learning’s at Windows Connections 2007 this year was the complete integration of the “Vista wave”. Yes, there were tidbits there even for a seasoned Microsoft junkie like me. One new thing I picked up while at Connections was Office OneNote 2007. The improvements over OneNote 2003 are significant and provide a much more organized (as if ON03 wasn’t organized enough!) interface to store your notes and research.
Good stuff – now I just need to replace my aging laptop with a newer Core 2 Duo unit, and I’ll be set. And no, I’m not using the Aero interface – simply because my current Intel 915G integrated display controller doesn’t support it.

@RealJamesWoods If you take $1 million from one person and give $10 to 100,000 people, you’ve lost one vote but gained 100,000.
That’s Zohran Mamdani’s socialism.

Every American should ask all politicians running for office one simple question: Would you support a nationwide ban on Sharia Law? Their answer will tell you everything you need to know when you hit the voting booth.
I asked @KenPaxtonTX and he responded: “Absolutely. It’s
Today, Democrat candidates for governor are calling for mass amnesty, ending immigration enforcement, and turning Wisconsin into a sanctuary state, where criminal illegal aliens are released back into Wisconsin.
As governor, I will ban sanctuary cities.
