Happy Festivus to one and all!
2008 was the first full year of 360|Conferences, and saw us visit; Atlanta, Milan Italy, and return to San Jose CA, where it all started. It also saw us start to make some money, enough that we paid ourselves a little money, not a salary, but we’re able to show a bit of income for our efforts, which in a start up never hurts! LOL.
A lesson in 2008, Don’t F with Community
So last night I saw a very powerful example of not doing business like it’s 1980.
I remember as a kid, and even as a young adult, saying, “Wow, I had no idea a Wal-Mart/Starbucks/McDonalds/You name it, was going in there.”
Those days are no more. The internet has changed that, forever. Builders and land barons can [...]
New and improved johnwilker.com
After tapping one of my good friends for some of his mad SQL skills, as well as dusting off more of mine than I intended to, I’ve now successfully moved johnwilker.com over to a hosted wordpress blog site.
Same Domain, same feed (assuming you’re using the feedburner feed, sorry Sim, but you can use this one)

More proof my wife is great!
Without even knowing it, prior to our meeting, she bought a widescreen, HD capable TV.
Tom and I bought a PS3 for 360|Flex Atlanta, since he’s already equipped for gaming, and Blue Ray, I got this one. Not counting when it’s doing a tour of duty as the official Rock Band/Guitar Hero station for 360|Flex, it’s [...]

Well today was the last day of work. I leave for Colorado tonight.
It was your typical last day of work, lots of hugs and handshakes. And for me, lots of work. My last day at any job is always a pretty hectic one. I actually had code to write.
BC and I talked for a time [...]
A weekend in Big Bear
Saturay – 4.28.2005
Started the morning with the traditional Alpenhorn Bed and Breakfast four course breakfast
Fresh Fruit (as opposed to the old stale stuff)
Homemade granola and yogurt. This trip we bought a bag of granola to take home. Who’d a thought ground up stuff could be so tasty.
Banana oatmeal broulee. I don’t like oatmeal much but [...]
What’s not to like about monkeys?
Nicole and I went to see David Sedaris at the Barclay theatre at UCI. This dude is just damn funny. I’m not sure if he’s as funny to read as he is to listen to. His voice and tone just makes his stories so much more hilarious.
I haven’t laughed that hard in a really long [...]
