New iPhone ruggedized case – Magellan ToughCase
Ξ August 1st, 2010 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
As an outdoor enthusiast I got excited to discover a ruggedized case for the iPhone that extends the run-time and location accuracy. Both of which are pretty dismal on my iPhone 3GS. This case could allow me to increase the use of my iPhone to more outdoor activities.
Reminders of a Real-life Hero
Ξ July 20th, 2010 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
Today while reading about the patent wars and the “patent trolls” who contribute nothing, but instead collect patents and use them to sue others for profit, I was reminded of a childhood real-life hero, George Washington Carver. I wrote a report on Mr. Carter in middle school and the impact it had on me helped to shape the man that I am today. Mr. Carver discovered hundreds of uses for peanuts and other crops and improvements upon many other things. He only patented three things, and when asked why, he responded “”God gave them to me, how can I sell them to someone else?” George Washington Carver’s epitaph reads “”He could have added fortune to fame, but caring for neither, he found happiness and honor in being helpful to the world.” He is still a real-life hero.

Freedom isn’t free

We must never forget that freedom has a cost. Stop and think about for a moment those who have sacrificed to bring about or help maintain the freedom that we enjoy everyday.
West Michigan Novell Users Group – The Big EveNt 2008
Ξ May 20th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
I’m late mentioning this, but the West Michigan Novell Users Group is hosting The Big EveNt 2008. This local users group doesn’t seem to get much attention outside of it’s normal circle. Then again, Novell certainly doesn’t advertise like it’s competitors do either.
- Date: May 19 – 20
- Location: Prince Conference Center, Calvin College
- Presenters: John Delks, VP of Sales for WorkGroup Americas
Needless to say, I’ll be looking at the Suse server and desktop products more closely. I started out as a “Big Red” fanboy in the nineties, but job changes have moved me away from Netware and the Novell product line for another color of computing and a network infrastructure focus. I ran Opensuse on my desktop for years as a network admin/engineer in a primarily Windows shop and used Windows XP in a VMWare VM when it was absolutely necessary to run Windows. The Novell Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop is polished, but my Ubuntu desktop is heavily customized and works for me. I’ll write some more after spending some time with the Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED).
