by John P.

Layered TechnologiesHere is some exciting breaking news! My former boss, and head honcho over at SAVVIS Communications, Jack Finlayson just took on the role of CEO and Chairman at Layered Technologies, a good sized Web hosting company that also happens to host WordPress – which as we all know is the software I use to run One Man’s Blog!

Folks, this is pretty amazing because Jack is a $Billion company CEO, and he chose to go to Layered Tech. I believe the reason is that one of this companies specialties lies in Grid Computing, which in essense takes a giant farm of computers, straps them together, and sells you as much or little of the power as you need. Kind of the same philosophy as a utility company. You plug in, use what you need, and only pay for that much.

Hey, for all of you that have been trying to access the site today, sorry it’s been down for hours. :-( I hadn’t noticed because for the last couple of weeks I’ve been on a super-secret mission. Perhaps I’ll tell you guys what I’ve been up to in the next week or two… Anyway, the [...]

So You Think Your Cell Phone is Safe?

October 30, 2007

There is nothing like instilling a little fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) to help sell a product… or a consulting service! Some young guys in L.A. garnered some serious attention when they told ABC News that they could hack cell phones of the rich and famous. And this short video is the result of that [...]

How the World Has Changed in 100 Years

October 30, 2007

Ok. This info is old, but I came across it and thought it would be fun to resurrect it once again. There have been all sorts of claims as to the year these stats originated, but generally I believe they are from 1903. I have not vetted any of the “facts” here, but they do [...]

Today’s post is unfortunately a sad one. We lost a very close family member this weekend to a long battle with a number of ailments including Cancer. It was one of those situations where our loved one was taken decades before her time, but at least it was not something that just occurred suddenly. It’s [...]

South Korean Sports Fans Rock!

October 27, 2007

Although I had previously posted about the Incredible Choreographed Samsung Stadium Performance, I’m still blown away by the amazing routines the South Korean fans put on when cheering for their favorite teams. In this case, they aren’t doing a routine on the field like in that previous article, they are actually doing the routines in [...]

Ok folks, this might seem a little mundane, but it was actually totally cool. In Minneapolis, MN there is a two story Target and they have solved the problem of taking carts from floor to floor by building a special cart escalator. We’ll call it a cartalator! So, I was really looking forward to my [...]
