Real Excited about this one

Everybody's watching you

I have one address that will always find me, you will even know what i'm doing at that moment, or where i'm at. Voice, video, text, however you want to communicate it's one 'number', one address. Google is making advances in this arena for the consumer market, although they are not quite there.

Personally I have no qualms with this 'always on' mentality, working with it is a change in the way one 'works'. It does take discipline to break away from the job and have the personal time. People grab on to the fact that they can always get stuff from you and they exploit as they need. Although i forget some of the times, its all about just saying no.

Watching the industry news its obvious that this is coming. Cingular has signed up with Myspace adding to theexplosion of social networks. Verizon just signed away $2B to boost their network for support of higher bandwidth apps. Microsoft in it's next releases bring the clients completely integrated, and the delievery of these services curtosey of their servers.

My generation and those following have grown up immersed and are to the point where they would rather text than call; IM is more natural than speaking. While these technologies have exploded in social arenas it must be embraced by all for them to fully function in a business setting. Bridging the gap of technology to the generations that have seen life without the tech is where you meet the resistance in acceptance. Personally I think that a cycle in the workplace is required before a digital identity will fully catch on.

I guess my question is how do you peoples see the perception of this technology in the mainstream?

O Christmas Tree

I really like the whole season of Christmas. Be it the weather, the lights, or just the memory of having a month off from school. I love it all and to me there is nothing wrong with decorating the Saturday after Thanksgiving(remember that Black Friday is obviously reserved for some crazy shopping), or even before.

This is the third year in a row where i've gotten a new tree, and while that may not seem odd, these are all fake trees. Some people call it heresey to not have a real fur, to me, I prefer the peace of mind of my plastic tree and througholy enjoy not having to pick up needles all across the house.

So to the point, I found the tree that I really like this year, and all in all i am very pleased. So here's my tree:



Yay Christmas

So Long my Friend

Goodbye shovel. You were the best shovel found on the side of the highway and given as a gift that I ever had... I'll never forget the ditches we dugg.
