A cool app from UGS that I can explain to my Mom in 2 minutes
I just got done with a presentation at our user conference on one of our newest technologies: Geolus Search. We got ahold of this from sd&m this past summer and have made a number of enhancements since then. It occurred to me that we created a lot of videos for my presentation and I should…

There is at least one Sun in Second Life
I guess it was only a matter of time. The audience and the cost savings is just too big to keep companies from using Second Life as a communication platform. A press conference and a trade show seem like naturals for Second Life. Wonder what you could do in WOW? BetaNews | Sun Takes Press…

One for the online toolbox
This is a cool app, made even better by being free and online. One of the things I hate to do is change audio and video files from one format to another. With Media Convert I can let another machine do the work for me, plus there are way more formats than I could ever…

Air Force One
Didn’t know the pres was stopping by Phoenix today. This is another reason I was a bit late getting home. Evidently they shut dow the air traffic grid before and after he takes off. Gee thanks…

One reason I was 2 hours late getting back from Phoenix today
Taken on the way from Chicago to Cincinnati today. I guess this is what was over Chicago today that caused a 2 hour ground stop. No fun, especially since I skipped breakfast to make the flght and there was nothing but $2 muffins on board that ran out two aisles before they got to me. …
