It’s been a while since I did a Ramblings. Here we go… Last night I went to record some of July’s Day in Tech History episodes. The audio was lagging – when I stopped processing, it would sit and think. I was able to save the recording, but it took a good 5 minutes to […]
I took a break from my regular duties to record Episode #61 of the Techpodcasts Weekly. There are 2 parts to the show – The first one is about the HP Tech Forum. The second is an interview I conducted with Thinix – a touchscreen overlay software company. PODCAST MADNESS code is in the show […]
What an honor this was: Steve Wozniak was at the HP Tech Forum to sign books and talk about his role as lead scientist at Fusion IO. So when he agreed to come in to the booth and talk with myself and Andy McCaskey, we were floored. Therefore, we have a 2 part interview. The […]

Well, yesterday’s video had some problems in the recording end. Too bad, I thought it was the best of the videos. The sound was the culprit and it wasn’t fixable through filters like compressors or gates. Andy and I found a nice spot to go over the last day of the HP Tech Forum. In […]

The 2nd day of the HP Tech Forum is over, but what a fun day from the Studio. We interviewed some great HP superstars, as well as go around the expo getting video. Of course, the big event was the interviews with Steve Wozniak. An amazing 30 minutes for myself and Andy McCaskey.
The second day got out of hand really quick. We sat down for breakfast and started talking about the day. Next thing we knew, we had 8 minutes to get over to the arena. I came over to the studio to get things ready, therefore, I recorded a quick planning meeting of the day. Hopefully […]
Monday morning, wake up in Vegas to the sun coming up over the mountain side. Pretty cool stuff. I looked at the clock and saw 8 AM, but in all reality it was 10 AM. Once again – pretty cool. Met up with Andy and Joe where we had the morning breakfast – planning meeting. […]
I got into Vegas on Sunday, where I instantly ran into Tom Augenthaler from Ivy Worldwide. After a quick dump of stuff in the hotel, I went down and met up with Kristi Popp and Becca Taylor. We had a nice lunch at the Border Grill, then headed over to the conference hall where we […]

For the longest time, we have been told that Blades are better than servers. Well, what would be better than that? Extreme Scale out. I talk with Doug about the “Skinless Server”. We look at the DL-6000 SL-160, SL-170z,SL 2×170 a pull out server with the cables in the front for easy access. With the […]
Last week we showed off the HP POD system. An impressive Data center in a metal case. However, how do you power the POD? That is where this POD comes in. It is the ActivePower Powerhouse. A 40 foot container that gives the Data Center the power and cooling it needs. Andy McCaskey talks with […]
The show ended with a big bang – well, not that big bang, but we were close to being that philosophical about it. With the Closing Keynote including Dr. Michael Kaku about what we could see in years to come. How Moore’s law is about to come to an end and we need to run […]
Well, the day started out with interviews, then more interviews, then a keynote and now we rest until tonight. But there are some great pictures of the day, therefore, here is the rest of Day 4. The Closing Keynote pictures are with the respected post.
TCO stands for Total Cost of Ownership. One of the big points at the HP Technology Forum was how much money you can save if you update your servers.

When I went to Las Vegas in January, I thought I would be going back to cover events. I didn’t think it would be so soon. But I don’t mind – a little hop over to the city that never sleeps for a few days of fun in the sun. Except I will have a […]
