Need of a Realign

· Comment

I just got home from @media-SF (Day 1)… all I can say is that I need to realign. I think it’s been almost 2 years since touch­ing this site’s struc­ture. H4X I tell you, H4X!

Any­ways, all the pre­sen­ta­tions are quite inter­est­ing; espe­cial­ly the Inter­na­tion­al­iza­tion pan­el by Richard Ishi­da. That guy owns lin­guis­tics! That’s

Cisco’s John Chambers — “Simple, Open Architecture, and Safe”

· Comment

At the Interop con­fer­ence in Las Vegas, Cis­co CEO John Cham­bers talks about the need for busi­ness­es to increase pro­duc­tiv­i­ty by imple­ment­ing Web 2.0 tools such as wikis, mashups, and vir­tu­al con­fer­enc­ing. He also explains how Cis­co used Web 2.0 prin­ci­ples in its $7 bil­lion acqui­si­tion of Sci­en­tif­ic Atlanta.

Sweet­ness! My first offi­cial, (per­son­al) busi­ness cards. The ones that weren’t actu­al­ly print­ed via Vista Print =)

Thanks to Eric of Print100.com for help­ing me get them here quick. I just put the order on Thurs­day, May 17—and they arrived today… only 5 days! Fast indeed.

Turned out pret­ty well for not hav­ing any proof­ing. Those Pan­tone books total­ly helped get­ting it close to the right col­or. I’ll prob­a­bly do anoth­er run some­time soon to exper­i­ment on this. Awe­some…

Note: Only $33.83 for 300 w/ Spot UV applied on my name… I need a bet­ter desk lamp.
