Setup - My daughters live in Texas with their mother. They have a Wii. I am visiting my daughters. Tonight, my youngest daughter, Samantha (9), asked me to play a video game with her. She fires up Guitar Hero 3 (awesome!) on her Wii. I watched her put

Did my mouse just jump a shark?

I just sat down at my laptop and realized I don't have my external mouse plugged in. As I am going for it, it dawns on me that I can't remember the last time I used the external mouse with my laptop. I think it was for my event in Berkeley, CA about three

No Internet......a blessed curse....

Three days ago I called my ISP to complain about very, very, very slow web page load times. While on the phone with the tech I hit a couple of speed test sites and saw that my overall download speed was what I expected - 8-10,000kbps. I told him I would

Peaks and Valleys....

From a work productivity perspective, this has been a nightmarish week for me. As I am sure most of you reading this who are in the tech industry know, when technology goes bad it can ruin an otherwise good day. As my previous blog posts have noted, I

Rock on....

I won the Guitar Hero contest last night! The contest was set up with two rounds and then a final elimination. In Round 1 there were five sets of two playing Pro Face-Off. Players had to agree on song and skill level. I was the only one that plays on

Not so fun day today....

Ray Ozzie's keynote today at our internal training called TechReady was great. I have never seen him speak before and frankly don't know all that much about him. I know about Lotus and Groove but not much beyond that. Regardless, I like him and I like

Time to create a Guitar Hero tag....

I just ran across an article announcing Guitar Hero World Tour . I am guessing this is actually Guitar Hero 4 since they talk about the addition of the drum kit and vocals. I think the battle of the band feature sounds cool though I would like to see
