  • VMFAQ.com / Knowledgebase / I need more performance out of my VMware environment
  • Tom's Random Ranting: How to create a BCS lookup field in a content type
    A good walkthrough of added External Colums to the Site Columns list to be used in multiple content types.
  • Very good summary of the Windows 8 Development Platform
    Good to hear some sanity added to the discussion. Metro style apps are great for what they are,but they are not the only style of application that windows will run. Most business applications will remain either Desktop (WinForm/WPF) or Rich Internet Applications (RIA) running with Silverlight or ASP.Net on a web server (ie SharePoint, Dynamics)
  • Christmas in September for BUILD Attendees
    So glad that I got to come to the conference.
  • Telerik Gives Nice Summary of MS Build Keynote
    Great summary of the morning keynote from the MS Build conference.
  • Homes For Sale in Grayson, GA?
    If you are in looking in the East Atlanta, Georgia area, I suggest the town of Grayson, GA. If you need an agent, we have been very pleased with Jody Sewell from Keller Williams. Jody has a new website that allows you to search for all listings in Grayson by many properties.
  • Enjoying listen to Tricia Mitchell Purple Room while working today
    You can get it on Amazon MP3 (http://amzn.com/B0014HZ5K8 ) or buy a CD from Tricia at one of her shows around Austin, Texas. Here is a link to her calendar. http://www.triciamitchell.com/Calendar.html
  • Symantec - Change Your Facebook Password Now
    It is never a bad idea to change your password on a somewhat regular schedule. This just moves up my schedule and has me out looking for passphases that I'll remember in the morning.
  • New Blogger Talks about Role Conflict and Motherhood
    Next to impossible to be super mom and do it all. Here is a new blogger with a fresh perspective on trying to have a career and family. Ever get the feeling that at the end of the rat race, you are still a rat?
  • Momentary Distraction - The Situation in the Situation Room
    Must have worked way to late last night, because this just struck me as very funny. The photo of the Situation Room from the Bin Laden raid has been Photoshoped with various internet memes. Now back to work . . . .
  • Why is the CubeField flash game so popular?
    On http://Frogsfolly.com/Games, I like to put flash games that my kids or I discover while surfing' the web. Most games are fun for a few plays and then get tired and not played much. Traffic to these pages follows the same pattern. That is except for http://frogsfolly.com/cubefield it is consistently the most popular page on the site and the source of most of the inbound traffic. In fact, analytics reveals that people are actually searching for "Frogsfolly Cubefield" on Google to find the site. What is so compelling about Cubefield? It is a mystery to me.
  • Zdenek Kalal showcases visual tracking
    More information here http://info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/Z.Kalal/ An interesting demo of where visual tracking technology is going.
  • Crazy Like a fox
    Charlie has found a way to make crazy pay and pay.
  • New York City's School of One - Can it Fit All?
    Pandora for the education crowd? I really like the quick feedback that the system provides as to what is, and is not, working for each child. Wonder how this would apply in a larger scale implementation. It is interesting to think about how we can now customize education to the child instead of a one-size fits all approach. Hey, if Watson can win on Jeopardy, then anything is possible, right?
  • Smart Filters - Refactoring Repetition
    When faced with a repetition, you have several options: 1) Manually do it over and over again, 2) Hire a lower cost resource to do the task over and over again, 3) Con someone into thinking they really want to do the task over and over again, 4) Automate the task so a machine does it over and over again, 5) Rework the problem to eliminate the need for the task. This is a great example of #5 and points to why it sometimes takes longer to find the easy solution.
  • 2 Million Vertical Feet in 2010 - What did you do last year?
    Crazy Canadian climbs and skis down over 2 million vertical feet in one year. Great that he was able to find sponsors to chase his dream.
  • ToneCheck - Don't Send the Wrong Message
    When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke, but it is real you can now check the tone of your emails before you send them. No if only they could come up with a way to use this technology to avoid "foot in mouth" syndrome.
  • "Turn out the lights" for Dandy Don
    One of the last great NFL color commentators. Monday Night Football was never the same after he left.
  • Devexpress 2010 V2 is ready to roll
    Can't wait to try out the new controls. Very good stuff indeed, I already have projects that I can use it on.
  • Context is King - Digital Curator perspective from A List Apart
    We have no shortage of content, be it digital or otherwise. The true value of manging content is to provide context which leads to better understanding of what is being presented. Context can be light such such as free form tagging, or rigid when you have complex taxonomies for records management. This article reminds me of several Enterprise Content Management (ECM) conversations that I have had recently.
  • 4th Amendment Wear for airport travelers
    Link From @robm47
  • Facebook now 25% of all Internet Page views
    Facebook continues to grow at an astounding rate. When will this bubble end?
  • Dinner Party Download - Podcast
    My new favorite podcast. You can find it on iTunes. 15 minutes of weekly humor and news to get you ready for the weekend conversations.
  • Airport Security - An Israeli Perspective
    Definite food for thought. When was the last time you were on your plane in less than 30 mins? Thanks to @llewopnodnarb for the link to this article.
  • Compare the Set-top devices
    Nice Chart of features and upcoming devices. Not sure if I have found my perfect device. I'm a big fan of Tivo for DVR and Wii for Netflix viewing.
