I have noticed a nice spike in traffic on all three of my blogs (Kevin Mullins, The Tech Manager, The SysAdmin) an wanted to thank folks for reading and remind everyone that comments are welcome. In particular, my SysAdmin blog has really come on strong with twice as many hits and page view as my other two blogs. Again I thank you and remind folks that I am always open to share ideas and strategies on all three blogs and welcome your help and participation.
I have been falling behind in my reading and posts lately and at some point will share with you my troubles, however this weekend I got back into reading and listening and thought I would start with a few funny videos.
I heard on TWIT (This Week in Tech) that 2 out of every 3 people have heard about the iPhone. Now that is a marketing engine. If you have not heard about the iPhone then here is a quick little commercial ....

And now here is another look at the iPhone .....
...iPhone Parody...
And finally, in between all the iPhone hype, Microsoft came out with a new product of their own. They call it the Table. Anyway, seeing that I pointed out a iPhone parody, I thought I would share with you a Table Parody ....
..Table Parody....

Our son Kevin graduated from Hampshire College today with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Hampshire has a unique way of molding and evaluating students with more written reviews than most colleges and I wanted to share with you some of the comments written in Kevin's final evaluation by his committee which consisted of 2 Hampshire Professors and a Professor from
Amherst
College
:
Kevin's writing acknowledges the reality of our society
Kevin's plays always have their own voice
Kevin's work is of tremendous imagination
Kevin's Division III produced an astonishing volume of work
As a playwright/activist Kevin is tireless in his efforts to bring to light social ails through theatre and as an arts manager, he is diplomatic, wise and mature and we have much confidence in his future as a theatre artist.
Kevin completed what he started 4 years ago and now its time to begin the next chapter in his life.
Kevin we love you and are very proud of you.
Congratulations

For those of you who have not visited in a while, I moved my "Technical Manager's Perspective" blog to http://www.techmgr.net and I have started another blog at http://www.syadmin.net
I am coming up on my one year anniversary of blogging and I am looking to make a couple changes in focus and strategy with my blogging.
I really enjoy blogging and communicating and I know that I have a little following, however most of the folks that have communicated with me are more technical non-management folks and my interest and/or search for improvement is more on the managerial side, which leads to more posts about managerial content as opposed to technical content.
So, in an attempt to maintain both a technical and managerial focus I have created an new blog for system administrators called The System Admin which is located at www.syadmin.net. Notice the spelling and play on sy.
I have moved my Technical Manager's Perspective blog from my www.kmmm.net domain to www.techmgr.net. I am not sure what I am going to do with my www.kmmm.net domain however I will be focusing on both the www.techmgr.net and www.syadmin.net domains in the next few months.
I am moving my blog to a new domain www.techmgr.net . I will maintain both blogs for a couple of weeks to give folks time to change. If you read my blog via a RSS feed, you will need to create a new feed from the www.techmgr.net blog.
