What the Post-Hurricane Irene Cavalry Looks Like

August 28, 2011

The closest thing we have to a modern-day cavalry has got to be these utility trucks hopefully on their way to restore power to millions of east-coast residents. This modern day cavalry in the videos below was spotted in Stamford, CT near the Ridgeway Shopping Center in the middle of town.

Estimates have ranged from one to two weeks to restore power in the area - hopefully these guys will get the job done more quickly.

-50F With Wind Chill. Escape to ITEXPO in Miami

January 24, 2011

You know I would never stoop to reminding you about the weather to persuade you to attend what I believe to the be the best tech and telecom conference in the world - OK, maybe I would.

So I was driving along this morning on the way to work and noticed I couldn't feel any of my fingers. I decided to check to make sure I was wearing gloves. I was. Then I realized I couldn't feel any of my toes and yes I had shoes on.

I then looked at the temperature reading and it said one degree.

Communications Expert Ricca Discusses the Future & ITEXPO Appearance

January 18, 2011

One of the great advantages of attending a live conference is the ability to network with some of the brightest minds in the industry such as analysts and other industry thought leaders who help give us a sense of where markets are heading. The tech space is not slowing down from an innovation perspective – and it certainly isn’t going to see less product introductions in the future. How do you determine how the latest products and solutions can help your business? Is the cloud right for you or is an on-premise system a smarter move based on your security and compliance needs? These are just some of the questions you can get answered at ITEXPO and 14 related events such as 4G Wireless Evolution (4GWE), Smart Grid Summit, Social CRM Expo, Super WiFi Summit, and M2M Evolution.

One analyst who will be at the show is Mark Ricca, Partner & Sr. Analyst at IntelliCom Analytics.

Irony is

January 14, 2011

Irony is explaining to your daughter that you can accomplish anything in the world you set your mind to one evening and spending 45 minutes trying and ultimately failing to get out of your snow-covered driveway the very next morning.

How To Be Happy

December 4, 2010

Sure, this isn't the type of thing I normally post but it is really good and worth sharing. Thanks to TMC blogger Peter Radizeski who posted this on Facebook which caused me to forward it all around and repost it on my wall. I have received so many positive comments I decided you may benefit from the 75 ways to stay unhappy forever.

Basically just do the opposite of this list and all will be good.

Not my normal post - but it's a weekend. Very cool footage of a cat fighting alligators back into the water. Not small ones either. Thanks to Digg for the link.

Ever Have One of Those Weeks?

November 11, 2010

You ever feel like you are going a million miles per hour yet standing still - you are having a million meetings producing a million more meetings and a billion action items? Well that is me this week so far. I look at the blog software and smile and tell it I miss it and will get back to it soon with something worth reading.

Until then - I am back to sprinting in place.
