Covad Communications , which has been testing their Ethernet service, announced today the launch date for nationwide Ethernet services – namely April 15th (aka Tax Day, “Pay the Man Day”, etc). I almost went with Covad’s solution when TMC moved to our new headquarters , but decided to go with Optimum Lightpath instead ($2500/month for bundled 45Mbps data + voice). In any event, according to Patrick Bennett, President and CEO of Covad, “What will differentiate this product in the market are the integrated QoS and CoS options that give our partners immense flexibility in optimizing network performance based on their application requirements.” Covad designed these services to run business-class, real-time applications like Voice over IP, video, gaming, VPNs and video conferencing through multiple traffic-handling options via Quality of Service (QoS) and Class of Service (CoS), and are backed by Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Sorry, I got there about 30 minutes late, and so I have only partial notes for this session. Andrew McAfee What Corporate America Thinks about Enterprise 2.0 #corpamericathink How to talk to your bosses about technology Use before and after comparisons instead of demos example: search using MIT’s internal search, versus Google search when i want to find the MIT search site, I use Google “strength weak ties” “granovetter weak ties” 49 search results from MIT research, but not one was the right one use Google Scholar granovetter weak ties first result: the right paper, can download the full text, the list of citations, etc. google scholar put together in someone’s spare time over a few months Present theories and frameworks, not jargon grounded in bullet-proof previous work example: a knowledge worker’s view of the enterprise concentric circles none -> potential -> weak -> strong ties then explain how facebook helps build, strengthen, manage the weak ties Present data, case studies, narratives Not about Google, Amazon, etc

Apparently, Toyota and Nissan have teamed up to create an organization called CHAdeMO that is working standardizing the stations were you might charge up your electric or hybrid vehicle in the future. The idea is that cars from different brands should be able to use the same general equipment for recharging, instead of relying on a

Holy smokes, did I make the jackpot or what!?  I’m in a Stamper’s 12 group where we get together at Sue’s house (SU rep) and spend a min. of $25 a month, and take turns playing hostess.  My name was drawn for February, which happens to be one of the three best months to play hostess because of the Celebration promotion that is on.  My sales were so good, that I had lots of free shopping to do, and everything you see in front of me was FREE.  Free, Free, Free. No time to stamp today–I’m over at Sharon’s working on my clay project.  We’ve been playing with this project for many months, and I hope to come close to completion today.  I can’t play all day though–I have a tutorial to shoot for tomorrow.  Will take some pics of our projects.

Brandon Marshall’s history includes multiple arrests, police responding to calls of domestic disturbances and suspensions levied against him by both his team and the league. But the meaning of his history is deeper than just a recitation of his record, points out Dave Krieger of the Denver Post.

Quoted without comment from Agha and Malley’s Three Men in a Boat , published in 2003, other than that this section has stayed with me in the years since it was published and still seems applicable: Sharon sees the roadmap as a nuisance, Arafat as a diversion; Abu Mazen alone views it as worthwhile, but then again principally as a potential way out of the current mess. None of the three sees it for what it purports to be: a plan designed to reach a final settlement within three years. Not one of them truly believes in the logic of its gradualist, staged approach to peacemaking, which amounts to Oslo under a different name.

Very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes cor pulmonale – elevated pulmonary vascular resistance and secondary reductions in left ventricular filling, stroke volume, and cardiac output. The authors of this NEJM study hypothesized that emphysema, as detected on computed tomography (CT), and airflow obstruction are inversely related to left ventricular end-diastolic volume, stroke volume, and cardiac output among persons without very severe lung disease . Of the study participants, 13% were current smokers, 38% were former smokers, and 49% had never smoked

March 13, 2010 I purchased a Samsung SGH-I607 cell phone aka BlackJack for $112 CDN, and it does have some quirks. With the default Windows Mobile 5 installation, ringtones of any size can be added and used easily.  Unfortunately, Windows Mobile 6 is supposedly better. Therefore, I installed Windows Mobile 6 from http://www.samsung.com/us/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP01&prd_ia_cd=&prd_mdl_cd=&prd_mdl_name=SGH-I607.  Furthermore, I downloaded and installed

Computers today face too much pressure from society. All the sleek, slim towers in magazines give them complexes. Honey, not everyone can be a HP 2 .2GHz Slimline Computer with Windows 7 Premium! It’s not realistic to have that as your ideal tower image! You’re a beautiful PC already! You don’t need a 6-in-1 memory card reader or 6 USB 2 .0 ports! Oh I am not just saying that because I’m your father! Now look, I get it; sure lots of boys might think they want a SuperMulti DVD Burner with LightScribe, but wait until you’re a little older, honey.
