A Preview of a Preview
Today, I had the opportunity to see a preview of Tom Skill's opening keynote presentation. It was the Rickey Henderson of presentations. It was the perfect lead-off to a great day. The presentation touches on and can be referenced by every presentation for the remainder of the day.

Y2K retrospective
I really liked this Y2K retrospective on Slate, http://www.slate.com/id/2235357/entry/2235359/. The article makes a point that it is one of the few times in recent history where people worked pro-actively to work on something. The article asks the question if we spent too much time and money worrying about the problem. I wish that the article had deleved into that answer deeper.
New Blog!
A long-time member of Technology First recently complained to me that we need to be more fun. Since I do not know enough about IT to post anything more intellectual than a witty /. Comment (yeah, I'm cool), my posts will be lighter than our other posters.
