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!

IT Needs its Gates and Jobs

Scour the data sheets and marketing of the best business technology hardware and software and you will see complexity. You will see references to ports, protocols, abstractions, management models, object-oriented and non-object-oriented practices, etc. Hand that data sheet to a highly-intelligent, well-educated lay-person and you will get a blank stare….

Passwords Are Doomed: You NEED Two-Factor Authentication

How many people use eight-character or less passwords with the first letter being capital and last entries being numbers? People are predictable and so are their passwords. To make things worse, people are lazy and tend to use the same passwords for just about everything that requires one. A study…
