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!

Why Cloud is as ‘Green’ As It Gets

July 9, 2010July 9, 2010

I stumbled across a document from Greenpeace citing cloud for additional power draws and the need for more renewable energy (http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/publications/reports/make-it-green-cloud-computing/.)  This is one of a series I’ve been noticing from the organization bastardizing IT for its effect on the environment and chastising companies for new data centers.  These articles…
