Is Kai Axford Speaking at TechEd 2008?

Mordac: The Preventer of Information Services

Okay.....here's your daily Dilbert for the security crowd. Definitely one to print out and hang on the bulletin board. I love Mordac . You'll love what's he done for Dilbert in the past. (I really like his implementation of strong passwords).

Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager

Okay, I know I'm late to the game on this, but I think it's absolutely terrific. I'm a big Star Wars fan so I'm glad I found it. It's a video series about Darth Vader's "less charismatic brother" who works at a grocery store. I love that this was created

I'm baaaaack

Well....as many of you can probably figure out, I've been remiss in my blogging as of late. Of course, there's no good excuse, except to put this in the context of "travel + content prep". Regardless.....I'm in fact back. This week is an interesting one.
