MMS 2008 - Sunday - Registration Swag

April 27, 2008

Finally got here after quite a long drive. We are staying at the Venetian and it is quite nice. There are quite a few people here already. When you register you get a backpack this year. It is blue, dark blue, but it is an OGIO backpack and it has a side zipper for your laptop as well as small side pockets, a large front pocket and a small front pocket. It actually looks like it will hold up quite well, I have heard this brand of backpack is a quality backpack but can't attest to it myself. I...  ... Read the full post or  the 2 comments.

MMS 2007 - Day 1 Recap

March 26, 2007

During day one it is mostly Hands on Lab (HOL), and the Expo floor opens. I was at the myITforum.com booth when the Expo opened and I have to say it was a mad dash to get the buttons for the party.

Never, ever, ever, think that anything you write will not be read by your manager, director, head of HR, CIO, President, CEO, Board, wife, friends, customers, future customers, future hiring manager (Hello again!), children, those who don’t care for you, peers, NSA - you get the idea.
