Microsoft taking a lesson from Wal-Mart.

I’d say the end is nigh, but for Microsoft to be hiring a Wal-Mart exec to manage their (third? second?) retail store, the end is about 100 yeards back there some where. I gotta say, Microsoft’s problems are many, and large, and it’s sad that they’re going down a path of copying Apple (poorly), rather [...]

360Coldfusion, very interesting

Tom and I thought about doing a CF conference, after I think 360|Flex Seattle. The reason we never went forward with the ideas was CFUnited and CF.Objective().

Florida is nice when it’s not humid

We went to Florida to celebrate mom’s birthday at Walt Disney World, which was a ton of fun! I’ve never been before, so it was cool, we hit The Magic Kingdom, Animal Safari, and Hollywood studios. My favorite ride was the new toy story Midway, that was hella fun!

This was a good time to be at Disney World, it wasn’t too crowded, which is a good thing, since I hate crowds. The longest wait I think we had for the jungle cruise of all things! Having now experienced the Magic Kingdonm, I’ll take DisneyLand. Space mtn is way better in CA!!
