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.
There was an update to the theme I’m using here on my blog, and there are a number of updates that work well, but I just don’t like how it handles images and links on my sidebar. I really don’t want certain images to have a shadow under them, and I also don’t want some links to have an underline or hover action. My tweaks to the CSS file just don’t work any more and I’ve got to print it all out to understand what the author did. Just takes time from other things.
Kevin C. Tofel over at jkOnTheRun poses a very interesting question: Would you give up integrated WiFi for WWAN? Some UMPC devices only have one mini-PCI slot, and could accommodate either a WLAN or WWAN module. Or its possible that one may want on or the other, to keep weight in the computer down, and eliminate one power drain – WiFi is terribly power-hungry.
With 3G services like EVDO and/or HSDPA, you have a nearly equivalent Internet connection speed as a WiFi connection (remember its the cable/DSL connection speed that may limit your Internet at a Hotspot). The only downside would be associated computers at your office or residence, but if you are talking only about a Ultra Mobile PC – it may be an Internet-only device anyway.
Thoughts?

@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.
To put it another way, no one ever tried to escape capitalism on a raft made out of trash
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.
