World Wide Technology’s Upcoming Geek Day

Joe Onisick (@JoeOnisick), January 15, 2011January 15, 2011

Coming up very quickly is World Wide Technology’s (www.wwt.com) annual Geek Day, March 10th 2011 (http://www.wwt.com/geekday/.)  I’m very much looking forward to the event for two reasons:

  1. It’s free to customers
  2. It’s totally focused on geeks interacting with geeks.

The event is focused around live interactive demo’s from sponsor technology companies with breakout sessions chosen by the attendees via online voting.  My favorite parts are that the sponsors aren’t allowed to do lead collecting (badge scanning you know from conferences), gimmicky swag giveaways, or stock their booths with gobs of marketing fluff.  It’s true focus is the demo, and engineer to engineer discussion.  See the link above for more information, and the video below for some customer feedback on the events.  I hope to see you here in St. Louis in March!

The Brocade FCoE Proposition

September 6, 2010September 6, 2010

I recently realized that I, like a lot of the data center industry, have completely forgotten about Brocade recently.  There has been little talked about on their FCoE front, Fibre Channel Front, or CNAs.  Cisco and HP have been dominating social media with blade and FCoE battles, but I haven’t…

A Salute to Greatness

October 29, 2012May 18, 2020

There are two things I’ve spent my life doing: being a class clown (laughed at or with is your choice) and building my career.  Since I was 16 I’ve worked no less than 40 hour weeks and more consistently been immersed in IT upwards of 80.  I have rarely taken…
