Technology All Twisted Up...




"...Go be the Rock Star..."


"...This song ain't about no bootie, it's about transistance. You dig?"

Yeah, I'm still in Vegas...

I just like saying, "HoobaStank..." and going to Vegas...



Like I need another reason to go to Vegas - I will be there for the Muratec celebration.

And I am looking forward to it.

There are few remaining MpS Frontiers; not so many of us Crawling In The Dark as once was...

Evanescence - "What You Want"



Do what you, what you want
Your world’s closing in on you now (it isn’t over) Stand and face the unknown (got to remember who you really are)

We're coming into the last quarter.  2011 pushing out, keeling over, 2012 more than a twinkle in the eye.

And how will it end?

Will you make quota?

Will your commission check be "correct" this one time?

Looking forward to the NEW comp plan?

How many of your co-workers won't be next to you in March?

How's that new MpS manager working out?  Another new manager?  Really?

Are you still a solutions provider on the 1st and a box mover on the 18th?

Is this "What You Want"...

MpS going downstream - Way DownStream - SMB/SOHO - wait, WHAT??



9/2011

HP recently announced a slew of new machines, MpS enabled aimed directly at the small business niche.

Oki - is bundling scanning options built for Quickbooks, integrated with hardware, under their MpS, for around $800.00.

And I swear, I can almost hear Samsung slowing down through re-entry, landing in the water and waiting to come ashore en mass, with cheap, bundled MpS devices.

The Sky Shall Shatter the Heavens into Stars -

The great double-dip recession of 2008-20xx is recognized by layoffs,  jobless figures, the California exodus, the Detroit melt-down and the not so stark difference between government-created jobs and government jobs. (Think about it...wait for it...wait....there.)

As corporations are reducing headcount and squeezing every ounce of productivity from the zombie-like survivors, home offices are sprouting up like poppies in Afghanistan.

HP is getting out of PC's because they see less value for their shareholders in PC's - and as the PC goes, so too, goes the printer.

Downstream.

All these laid-off executives,  managers, and cube rats are going to find their way in the world, most won't simply lie there, on the couch, collecting "Obama-bucks" forever.

The new Aquarian Workforce will be mobile, they will work simultaneously for multiple employers, and be based at home - printing. All those individual stars falling out of the sky, landing and thriving - on smartphones and tablets; no more brick and mortar.

But wait, there is more.

As the corporate world shrinks, and the need to print fades to white, smaller, cheaper, and MpS Bundled devices will be the norm; if by "MpS Bundled" I mean S1/S2, which I do.

Machines talking to machines, toner automatically delivered, directly from the OEM.

Service you ask?  Really?  How about the OEM's go and design devices as reliable as your flat screen? How often have you called for service on that one?

From B2B to M2M to B2C and NOTHING in Between.


You feeling that? 

   

That's my L.A. - How many times does L.A. need to get blowed up by aliens?

For Three Years - This has been played here on DOTC on 911


It isn't that they hate Us - they hate themselves...

It isn't that we are arrogant - we are envied...

It isn't bragging, if its True...

Deep down, our identity is there, supported by hundreds of years of pushing every  frontier between Plymouth Rock and Tranquility Base.

We are not Broken...
We are not Alone...

I Knew the Day Would Finally Come! We were There - Americans Were on The Moon, for all Mankind.

Astronauts' tracks, trash seen in new moon photos - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON (AP) —

A spacecraft circling the moon has snapped the sharpest photos ever of the tracks and trash left behind by Apollo astronauts during their visits from 1969 to 1972.


Images taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter from 13 to 15 miles up show the astronauts' paths when they walked on the moon, as well as ruts left by a moon buggy. Experts could even identify the backpacks astronauts pitched out of their lunar landers before they returned to Earth.

"What we're seeing is a trail," said Arizona State University geology professor Mark Robinson, the orbiter's chief scientist.

"It's totally awesome.""

Isn't it cool, when chief scientists get quoted saying something like, "It's totally awesome?"

Apollo Moon Missions Rediscovered: Uncovering the Tracks and Treasures Left Behind

Recently, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured the most impressive photos to date of the Apollo astronauts' tracks and the debris they left behind during their expeditions from 1969 to 1972. 

From an altitude of 13 to 15 miles, the images showcase the pathways that the astronauts traveled during their moonwalks, as well as the tracks left by their moon buggy. 

Additionally, the experts could identify the backpacks that the astronauts tossed away from their lunar landers before returning to Earth.

"This trail is absolutely incredible," expressed Mark Robinson, the orbiter's chief scientist, and professor of geology at Arizona State University. "It's totally awesome."

It's amazing how far we have come as a society to witness such groundbreaking achievements. Even more thrilling is the fact that we continue to discover new aspects of these historic moments in time.
