Thanks to Blogging Idol …… What’s Next?

I was certainly not expecting it…..other blog postings and musings were certainly as interesting and as thought provoking as mine (in my opinion). Nevertheless, I am grateful for the recognition and can certainly use [...]
And the winners are …
Jun 17th
First, an apology. It’s come to our attention that a number of people whom we wanted very badly to attend our Blogging Idol wrap party didn’t receive our invitation. I’ll look into how this happened, and if it somehow turns out to be my fault, we shall never speak of it again. The results of [...]

Jun 7th
There was a lot of news in the tech world yesterday with WWDC and E3 (Did anyone else find it ironic that Apple was announcing email enhancements and Microsoft was talking gaming?).

Are You a Data Hoarder?

Note: This is a repost from my other blog to keep you occupied while we wait for the judging to finish. . . If you ever want to cure yourself of the notion that you live a simple life, move. We moved this week into a new home. We love the house, the yard, and [...]

I hope everyone enjopyed themselves this year…..I know I did. One of these days I may just turn into a real professional blogger like Kevin and Chris……perhaps I should practice using Twitter first. See you at the after-party !
How to harvest the best ideas from your team.

Value for Money
May 24th
I recently got involved in helping to prepare a workshop on enhancing Value for Money in procurement. Funny how the complexities of the topic jump out at you when you try to make a few slides – what you may have thought was a straightforward concept becomes a minefield of definitions and concepts, just like [...]
Dear RIM, Change your Playbook advertising…
May 24th
I know the BlogIdol contest is over, but just had to get this off my chest. Every time I see the adverts for the new Playbook I find myself commenting out loud to anyone who will listen. Usually it’s the dog, and she knows how I feel about this. The problem is this… I would NEVER [...]
