Just sitting here, listening to Michael Savage, listening to him and thinking about the good ol' days at the same time. Chatting with Jer, trying to think up some neat ideas, and "arguing" over the biggest unanswerable question ever... It started out that way, anyway. It turned into another unanswerable question. Don't think it is as big of a question as the first one though.. Something to post about soon. No wonder I'm going bald!
Well, I suppose today has been a little better than the last two weeks, generally speaking. My friend still doesn't have the internet or phone back, which totally sucks. I was hoping I wouldn't have to go another whole weekend without talking to her, but I guess I'm gonna have to now. Which reminds me: Today is FRIDAY! It's too bad Friday doesn't mean much anymore. It used to be great -- no school until Monday! But now there is no school at all. Fridays are no longer as "hooray" as they used to be.
Other than that, I worked on my program some more. It's always almost done. I never get around to actually finishing it because I keep getting new ideas. And then I find some bugs, since I do all the testing as well. So I'm always busy with it. Pretty soon I'm going to have to talk to a lawyer about making a license for it. If anyone has any info on software licenses, or knows someone that knows something about them, like a lawyer specializing in stuff like this, lemme know. I have to say, I've come a long way with this program. When I started back in late December or early January, I hardly knew anything about .NET. Now a lot of it is a breeze. If anyone knows someone that sells Avon, I may have something for them coming up pretty soon. I'll be sure to let everyone know...
I added some more stuff to my blog as well. Changed a few things around, added some stuff here and there. Interesting stuff. I wish I had started this long ago. Next step: GET READERS!
Lastly, from what I remember, I played some Asheron's Call earlier today. For those that don't know, Asheron's Call is an MMORPG created by Turbine. I have been playing it for 7 and a half years now. I started in January 2000. A month before I started, I thought the game was the biggest piece of crap ever. It looks like I was wrong here, which I'm fairly glad I was wrong. If anyone starts playing and needs a monarchy, Katfood's Mage is the one. All we really did on it today was put all of our rare items on one character so they weren't spread out over dozens of characters. I was going to help a n00b then, but he logged before we went anywhere. So then I logged too and haven't been on since.

NECC[1] = MondayJune 29, 2009 – 10:25 pm
In the style of "release early release often" and "perfect == good.enemy()" we bring you this totally unedited, case rapidly typed post, because I need sleep.
This was the late-night idea. Results forthcoming. Traffic not as good as hoped, but it did meet our primary criteria of "hey, we need a way to meet people!" (In other words, we were so busy talking to people that we didn't have time to constantly man #neccwall. This is good.)
Manned the Sugar Labs booth for a bit; had a good conversation with Scott Bullock on how engineers interested in education tend to make things for the kids they used to be (a tiny minority) and the problem of how to reach the rest.
Stopped by and talked with teachers who had gotten HP tablet PC grants. An Arkansas school had children annotate photographs with geometric drawings ("This sunflower exhibits symmetry over this line! *drawdraw*"). I asked if it was far more engaging to do that than to print out the picture and hand the kid a marker. They said yes, but didn't know why – I wonder how much "technology helps students!" is attributable to students being excited by shiny new things, how much is due to the self-selecting nature of teachers willing to experiment with new tech (they'd tend to be the more adventuresome, dynamic ones even without "technology"), and how much the design and enablements of technology actually chips in to "increased performance."
Another note: as an engineer, I'm used to being able to think about the "perfect" solution and then take the time to build it. Most teachers can't do that; they don't have the skills or time to create much in the way of new things (said the Arkansas teachers). You look around and see what's on the shelf and do something with it. You don't waste time thinking of things to build from scratch because you'll never have the resources.
Then there was the Mt. Vernon high school that had gotten tablet PCs for their teachers. They didn't have them for students; maybe 50% of their students had computer access at home. One of the teachers mentioned that he'd done his student teaching in a neighborhood with much more computer access, where you could actually email the students files and expect all of them to be able to print them out and bring them in the next day – this was a very different situation. Computers are expensive.
They were so proud that they had moved to using Powerpoint for classes. "The students love it," they said. "Some teachers don't have good handwriting… and this way it's clear what they have to study [by memorization]… if they're absent, they can watch the video at home without having to come to class and talk with the teacher…"
I… have conflicting feelings about this. On the one hand, they're doing the best they can with a difficult situation. On the other hand, this is an incremental improvement down a road I don't agree with (drill and kill, turning learners into automatons and using technology to script away human interaction). But to overturn such a difficult situation would be extremely difficult, so maybe this is the best that they can do.
Overheard amusing conversation: "Municipal wifi? Won't that spread all sorts of viruses around?"
There is a film titled "Autism: The Musical." It is a documentary of an acting teacher coaching 5 autistic children to perform a musical, and looks intriguing.
The exhibit hall is HUGE.
These notes take me nearly to lunchtime on Monday. I will have to finish them tomorrow.
If I were making NECC bingo cards, they would have the following words: collaboration, sharing, management (as in "classroom managment" – this bothers me, as if children were an industrial process that we need to keep in line), problem-solving, 21st century learners, integrative, accountability, standards, immersive, constructionist, community, reaching-outside-the-classroom-walls, rigorious, standards, innovate.
There's power and honesty here. There's also a lot of thin glossy washes of sounding-good – educators aren't in particular positions of power, nor are the kids they teach, and both have (as people in those situations tend to do) become extremely good at giving the answers that those in power like to hear. You can see that gloss occasionally washing over someone's passion – projects designed so that the outcome is in ready-made press-release format, obligatory scatterings of buzzwords (you know what? I will make that bingo card) but it gives me heart that oftentimes the fire will break through. The best thing I can do, I think, is be on fire myself these next two days so that nobody else will be the only one outside their comfort zone.
Speaking of fire, I've got a low-grade fever – my immune system has decided that DC is full of allergens that it must FIGHT! NOW! so I'm going to sleep and write the remainder of Monday's notes tomorrow.

Greetings Sparkfunners,
congrats for all the good work you've been doing!
how about cooking for us a breakout board for something beefier, such as TI's TLC5910? $5 per one RGB does not make sense in any decent RGB LED project, which may contain dozens of LEDs…
Product BOB-09816 about 7 years ago
Can this breakout board be used for amplifying and sampling an electret microphone?
I've tried it and I am getting no meaningful results, just a flat line

After a week of stressful waiting, Lehman Brothers Asia finally has a buyer. Nomura, Japan's biggest brokerage firm, bought Lehman's Asia units.
What this means for me? I'll be again working for a Japanese company. We're no longer a Wall Street company as all connections to New York will be lost (Barclays bought Lehman Brother's US units). I no longer fear for my employment status.
Life goes on… for now.

Oh, Jesus effing Christ. R'as al Ghul? Really?
It's pretty clear that R'as isn't the mastermind. I can't exactly tell you why he isn't, but he isn't. His introduction here feels the same as the Riddler's, with Snyder and Tynion simply showing us that someone that we'd suspect to be the mastermind isn't, actually, the mastermind. The problem with R'as' role in this story is that it's connected to one of the more ludicrous turns of events in this series, namely Bruce's loss of control over Wayne Enterprises.
I haven't really talked about the fall of Wayne Enterprises here, since, usually, we have such bigger fish to fry. Of all the gimmicky moments in this series, it was definitely one of the more gimmicky ones. Snyder and Tynion try to explain it here, arguing that, yes, it was extraordinary, but that proves that only someone as crafty as R'as al Ghul could've done it. But, it really does defy belief that anyone, even R'as al Ghul, could do it. Wayne Enterprises is a publicly traded company; R'as couldn't just snatch up its constituent parts without someone noticing. It's not like Alfred runs the company from the cave while Bruce sleeps. They've got to have an accountant somewhere. But, it just further Snyder's central thesis, that Batman is actually a raging idiot, since the guy can't even keep control over his own company. Moreover, it's pretty clear that it's going to be ret-conned at some point. After all, Bruce depends on that money to be Batman, the same way that Tony Stark needs his money to be Iron Man. Sure, authors can spend a few issues exploring the idea of them disconnected from their wealth and rising to that challenge, but, ultimately, it's existentially necessary for their alter egos. Since it's clear that R'as isn't the mastermind, he's essentially been reduced to little more than a nefarious accountant at this point. I'm not really sure why we're supposed to consider him a serious threat. But, it looks like we'll spend at least next issue pretending.
Moreover, this issue just randomly dispatches the supernatural aspects of the series by explaining that Dr. Milo was merely a pawn of Blackfire. As a result, I'm still not really sure why we re-introduced this aspect of the story in issues #44 and #45, since it didn't further our understanding of the events that occurred under Arkham. It's not like we even get any real character development, since Luke just shrugs off Jim's apology for abandoning him under Arkham and Bruce makes a half-hearted comment about feeling bad about sending Luke to handle Arkham in the first place. I'm not really sure what the authors meant here.
Seven more issues. Only seven more issues.

We closed on Bessemer on Tuesday and work got underway today. The guys cleaned up the yard and began airing the house out. A dumpster will be delivered tommorrow and clean out of the inside will begin. It's gonna take a few dumpsters on this job as their is quite a bit of trash in the house. The Humane Society will be coming tommorrow to get the four dogs.
The contractor we are using is actually one of the guys I found on the Craigslist ad I posted about last week. He has rehabbed a few houses for himself in the past and he was actually already on my buyers list… and I didn't even realize it. He has been doing new construction for the past two years but wants to get back into doing rehabs. This will be a good one to start on.
Here are some pictures from today, including photos of the inside, you can see how trashed the place is:
The hardwood floors will be done over at Hartford Terrace tommorrow. I'll put up some pictures of that. We have two of our finished rehabs closing at the end of this month. Still waiting for clear title on the Fire Damage Three Family…. I don't think we'll be closing tommorrow on that one. We also have a rental house that we bought in February on Ladd St getting finished up, we should have the new tenant in there May 1st.

No, the answers are not there. I read through most of the SVG related bugs and I fail to see where there is any kind of timeframe given. I know that no one can give me an exact date but I wonder if it's something like "we will see this in the next two months" or more like "don't expect this to happen before the middle of next year". None of the bugs I read sheds light on that. There isn't even a target milestone for bug 182533. I know there are still bugs to fix but when I tested the SVG/GDI builds I was pleasently surprised by the robustness of this build and wondered when we might see this enabled by default.

WITH THE increased needs for security against card frauds, several measures have been developed to protect cardholders. Financial institutions are now in the process of introducing and adopting the EMV chip-enabled cards, designed to significantly improve and enhance opportunities for payment transactions.
EMV, which stands for its original developers, Europay, Mastercard and Visa, is a global standard for transactions made on chip-based credit and debit cards. The impressive technology features payment instruments with embedded microprocessor chips that store and protect cardholders' data, making it harder for anyone to steal account information while making payments.
According to 2017 Debit Issuer Study commissioned by Discover Financial Services, the EMV technology has helped decrease fraud rates from 2015 to 2016 by 28%. Thus, the switch from traditional magnetic stripe to EMV chip-equipped cards has been adopted by card brands and banks all over the world.
EMV technology revolutionizes the payment ecosystem. Unlike the magnetic stripe on traditional card that contains unchanging data, EMV card generates a unique transaction code on every payment process that cannot be used again. This feature, known as dynamic authentication, makes it difficult for card fraudsters to copy cardholders' data through the skimming device.
The EMV chip cards are also read via "card dipping" mechanism instead of the usual swiping of magnetic stripe cards. When an EMV card is dipped, data flows between the card chip and the issuing financial institution to verify the card's authenticity. This process may not be as quick as the swiping process, but customers are ensured with safer and more secure payment transactions.
Host Merchant Services, a premier credit card and payment processing service provider, identified in its Website some of EMV chip-equipped cards' benefits. First, EMV allows more secure card-present transactions.
Host Merchant said that EMV cards offer better transaction security to all parties involved in the payment process as cardholders' information are stored in the encrypted microprocessor smart chips.
"It's much more difficult to acquire the data, and it's also more difficult to create fraudulent cards because that requires the technology to duplicate the microprocessor chip and the encryptions that protect its data," Host Merchant explained.
Aside from contact or chip-and-pin transactions, EMV technology enables contactless and mobile transactions. Cardholders can simply tap their cards near a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, with no signature or PIN (personal identification number) needed, to settle payments. At a store that has mobile payment readers, consumers can also process the transaction by waving their smartphones over a terminal that automatically reads the payment information stored on the smart chip embedded in the card.
Host Merchant also said that EMV systems can operate in offline mode. "Because EMV cards contain microprocessors that can actually interact with terminals, they can perform offline transaction verification and offline cardholder verification." EMV chip cards can use verification data from its own microprocessor smart chips to verify PIN codes and create cryptograms.
Since EMV technology is a global standard, cardholders can use the cards around the world in more than 130 countries.
According to EMVCo, a member-owned technical body that owns, enhances and promotes the EMV specifications as an inter-industry compatibility standard, the number of EMV payment cards in global circulation had increased by 1.3 billion in the previous 12 months to a total of 6.1 billion. It also said that 52.4% of all card-present transactions conducted globally between January and December 2016 used EMV chip technology, up from 35.8% for the same period in 2015.
In the Philippines, financial institutions are now ramping up the distribution of cards with EMV to meet the deadline set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). In a statement, the central bank said that all BSP-supervised financial institutions (BSFIs) are given until June 30, 2018 to fully comply with the EMV requirement. BSFIs who will fail to do so will be subject to monetary sanctions provided under relevant provisions in the Manual of Regulations for Banks (MORB) and Manual of Regulations for Non-Bank Financial Institutions (MORNBFI).
As of December last year, the BSP announced that around 90% of banks and other financial entities have already "substantially complied" with most of the technical requirements for the EMV technology shift. This is in terms of software upgrades and conversion of automated teller machine (ATM) units, point-of-sale (POS) terminals and clients' cards to EMV.
"To raise awareness as well as manage customers' expectations on the replacement of their payment cards, BSFIs should intensify their public awareness programs leveraging on all available communication channels. The information should clearly indicate the date when EMV cards are available and ready for pick-up by their clients as well as the related procedures for replacing magstripe cards and distributing EMV-compliant cards. BSFIs are further expected to develop strategies to entice or force clients to replace their old cards with EMV cards," the BSP said.

Welcome to my new blog! I know that no one knows of this yet but hopefully someone will take interest and then share it with others
OK well let me tell you a little bit about myself…For now I will just call myself "A" which fits well because Atheist starts with "A" and low and behold so does my actual name. And so does Awesome and Amazing, and Apple. ok I'll stop.
I was raised christian, baptized when I was 8 years old and started doubting god as soon as that happened. I am now in my mid twenties and I'm just now slowly coming out as an atheist.
I feel liberated just typing it out for the whole world to see! I feel liberated when I say it out loud to myself!
Both of my parents believe in god and so does my brother. They don't know yet about my beliefs and I'm really nervous about coming 'out' to them. My mom is more 'spiritual' and my dad attends church every sunday. My brother goes to church every once in a while.
I'll tell my whole religion story in the "About Me" section.
This blog will be my thoughts and experiences as I'm coming out into the world as an Atheist. I'll post articles, YouTube videos, or anything else that I find interesting that is helping me in my journey. Maybe I'll even get a few friends to join in on this.
So to you readers out there that happen to stumble upon my blog welcome and I'm glad you're here!!

Brenda's Review
Very reasonable prices and good work.
The first time I contacted Tim was around a year ago. He came out on short notice, and gave me a reasonable price for the job I asked him to do. From there I used him at work for a couple of jobs since he did a good job at my house. When it came time for me to get my carpets done again this year I called him again, and he did a thorough job for a reasonable price.

Chain of stampeders climbing to the summit of the Chilkoot Pass, 1898 Dawson City Museum & Historical Society (19126.96.36.199)
The Chilkoot Trail and its sister, the White Pass, were the most commonly used routes to the Klondike. Beginning at Dyea, the Chilkoot Trail wound 25 kilometres (15 miles) along wagon roads and forest paths, growing steadily higher until it reached Sheep Camp at the bottom of the pass. The pass itself was not particularly difficult on its own, but to 20,000 inexperienced stampeders each ferrying a ton of supplies it might as well have been Mount Everest.
Many stampeders reached Sheep Camp and, upon viewing the human spectacle on the mountain, gave up and sold their outfits, returning home. Those who made the 1,000 metre (3,000 feet) climb had to repeat the task up to 40 times in order to pack their entire outfit over the pass. After each climb, stampeders cached their load at the top of the pass, near the North-West Mounted Police outpost at the Canadian border, and returned for the next load, often simply sliding down the snow-covered slope. Many hired packers at high prices to lighten the burden. The local Chilkat First Nations people were known as accomplished packers and were generally able to carry about 45 kilograms (100 pounds) at a time. One Chilkat packer was said to have carried a 160 kilogram (350 pounds) barrel over the pass.

For the first time since the show began, Beauty and the Geek's winner was picked by the viewing audience this year. Given the choice between the first ever boy beauty/girl geek team, Sam & Nicole, and the much more traditional team of Dave & Jasmine, America awarded Dave & Jasmine with the victory and the $250,000 prize.
It had been a long road for the team, which started out highly dysfunctional, with Dave memorably telling Jasmine to her face that she was the person he wanted least as a partner when they were first forcibly paired. But somewhere along the way the LARPer (that's Live Action Role Player, naturally) and the babysitter not only began to work well together, but they truly bonded as friends. They became a very easy to root for duo in the process, particularly considering their rocky start.
The day after the finale aired, I spoke to Dave & Jasmine to find out what it felt like to win Beauty and the Geek.
IGN TV: How did each of you come to be on Beauty and the Geek?
Jasmine: I was at a bar and someone asked me if I wanted to be on the show and I was like "Of course!" I just made it through all the things. I got found, kind of.
Dave: My friend suggested I try out so I went to the open casting call. It was actually the same day I was going to a LARPing event, so by coincidence I just happened to bring all my stuff, because I didn't know how long the audition would take. And the casting people were like "So, why do you have so much stuff?" I was like "Oh, well you see, I'm a LARPer." And from that moment it was "Yeah, you move on to the next round."
IGN TV: We heard quite a bit about Dave's first impression of you, but Jasmine, I'm curious what your first impression of Dave was.
Jasmine: I just had a good first impression. I thought "He seems like a nice guy." I was just excited by whoever geek I got and was just excited to have a geek!
IGN TV: Dave, obviously they showed the clip quite a bit of you telling her she was your last choice. When you see that clip, what do you think now?
Dave: A little bit of me dies inside whenever I see that clip. To be fair, it wasn't fun at the time either. I just realized that it was best to get the truth out and be honest, rather than hide behind any sort of lie and then have Jasmine realize "Wait, he never wanted me to begin with?!" I thought "You know what, no. I'm just going to say right here that I never wanted her and then we can move on." So yeah, I didn't enjoy doing it and I certainly don't enjoy watching it.
IGN TV: Jasmine, did it take you awhile to get over that?
Jasmine: Oh yeah. I was like "This is just not gonna work! We're not gonna get along." It did take awhile. I don't know if it was still that I held a grudge against him for saying that, but I tried to get past it and thank goodness, eventually we did.
IGN TV: You guys were never put up for elimination. Why do you think that is?
Dave: I think we were so completely at first that no one thought we were a threat. So by the time we became a threat, we just never lost a challenge.
Jasmine: Yeah. That, and I think I was friends with everyone in the house and the fact that we weren't winning challenges, people didn't even think to put us up. And when they did think about it they were like "Well, we're kind of friends with them." I don't know, I think it was a little bit of that too.
IGN TV: There were a lot of negative feelings towards Sam & Nicole being brought into the game it seemed. What did you guys think?
Jasmine: I thought it was cool. We got along with them pretty well actually, so we didn't really mind it. I just thought "another team, oh my gosh," but they didn't really bother me as much as they bothered some other people.
Dave: Yeah, I'm not really sure that I understood the animosity towards them.
Jasmine: Right.
Dave: Maybe it was because Sam kept winning everything and people are jealous of winners. Even I got a little tired of saying "Alright, well, Sam wins another one." But he shouldn't be punished because he does well. So I never really understood the antipathy. I liked them a lot, both of them.

Filed under: quote | Tags: art, modernity, photography
If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally. It is time, then, for it to return to its true duty, which is to be the servant of the sciences and arts— but the very humble servant, like printing or shorthand, which have neither created nor supplemented literature. Let it hasten to enrich the tourist's album and restore to his eye the precision which his memory may lack; let it adorn the naturalist's library, and enlarge microscopic animals; let it even provide information to corroborate the astronomer's hypotheses; in short, let it be the secretary and clerk of whoever needs an absolute factual exactitude in his profession—up to that point nothing could be better. Let it rescue from oblivion those tumbling ruins, those books, prints and manuscripts which time is devouring, precious things whose form is dissolving and which demand a place in the archives of our memory—— it will be thanked and applauded. But if it be allowed to encroach upon the domain of the impalpable and the imaginary, upon anything whose value depends solely upon the addition of something of a man's soul, then it will be so much the worse for us!

Fishy studies by Big Pharma
In a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers concluded that omega 3 supplements, like natural fish oil, "do not prevent cardiovascular disease." But these studies were on high risk patients with known heart problems and on every med from stain drugs to ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, aspirin and no telling what else. In addition, these studies were short-term with as little as 400 mg of fish oil and some were even mixed with chemical based margarine. This report was also done with the deliberate exclusion of many beneficial studies with the same risk groups. Studies and reports like this come out to make natural supplements look bad and make toxic drugs look good. Big Pharma is out to counterfeit and patent everything natural that is good for you. Without that patent, Big Pharma cannot control the money, and it's really all about the money. There is an old Big Pharma trick of coming out with a patented form of a natural supplement and then dissing the natural with every bit of bad studies possible. Case and point Fish oil based Lovaza is a DRUG that has side effects - including death. Treatment with Lovaza can actually increase LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol). Lovaza does not exist in nature; man has to make it chemically. Why do we need an estherized version of fish oil? We don't... Esterification strips nutrient cofactors away and renders the God-given fish oil form less nutritious. Glaxo Smith Kline says they make Lovaza from all natural fish oil and claim that their chemicalized nutrient (drug), along with diet changes and exercise, can lower your blood cholesterol. Newsflash! Diet changes and exercise lowers cholesterol without toxic medications! According to the Mayo Clinic, "Lifestyle changes can help reduce cholesterol, keep you off cholesterol-lowering medications or enhance the effect of your medications." Of course, the cholesterol witch-hunt is all bogus as high cholesterol is only a symptom of inflammation in the body. Big Pharma meds only treat or mask symptoms while causing a plethora of "side effects". Well here's another news flash: There are no such things as "side effects" as they are all effects. Make no mistake, ALL drugs have side effects, even aspirin. If you take any drug, even once, you will have side effects. Big Pharma is not interested in your health Gwen Olson, a fifteen-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry, says that pharmaceutical companies are not in the business of health and healing, but instead, in the business of disease maintenance and symptom management. They are not in the business to cure cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes or heart disease because, if they were, they would be in the business of putting themselves out of business. The Big Pharma juggling-act-balance is keeping you sick enough to need their concocted drugs and well enough to stay alive - and paying your bills. Supplements do work Contrary to what your Big Pharma doctor may say; supplements work! The use of dietary supplements in the United States has increased from less than 20 percent of the population in 1970 to approximately 50 percent according to the last survey conducted by the National Institutes of Health. In this survey, individuals report using dietary supplements to increase energy, maintain strength, enhance performance, maintain health and immune system function, and prevent nutritional deficiencies. But there is a dark side to health supplements. Exposures to vitamins, herbs, protein powders, and botanicals accounted for more than 3,000 admissions to health care facilities last year. About 500 were described as moderate to severe outcomes, and there was even ONE death by vitamin! Now compare this to the medical mayhem of about 783,936 deaths by pharmaceutical drugs each year... there is no comparison. Most people don't need a medical doctor and drugs, they need a good nutritionist. Sources for this article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/reduce-cholesterol/CL00012 Uffe Ravnskov MD.

In the recent past, companies came up with BYOD policies. Tech terminology is evolving so quickly that it's useful to keep a running understanding of what initials and terms mean. So I asked my networking group members what BYOD means. Beth Carvin, CEO of Nobscot Corporation (producer of HR software) was helpful in revealing that it has nothing to do with a party. Instead, she says, "It's a new term that is being used meaning "Bring Your Own Device" to describe how employees are bring various electronic/communication devices into the workplace." (sic) She went on to explain, "Thus all the new discussion about BYOD. The analysts see it as inevitable and thus are encouraging HR to consider how they will handle [it]. They are also focusing on how HR can provide tools and resources through employees' own devices."
Social media tools were barred from use in the workplace. There was the concern about misuse, distractions, potential leaks made possible via cell phones, Blackberries, laptops and other tools. There was also the problem of workers spending too much time on SM sites instead of producing timely work results. Devices are very useful when it comes to allowing team members to work together on projects, to quickly and simultaneously communicate information to all members of the team (including the department surprise get together). It also brings together collaboration between departments and workers at remote locations. Based on Carvin's revelations, those attitudes are crumbling in deference to better communication with greater reach.
Hospitals and hotels got it long ago. Systems that allow sharing of information ensures that the most recent and valid information is universally available on demand. There's no necessity for waiting days to have everyone on the same page. Speaking of "pages," social media also reduces the amount of paper that is needed to efficiently run an office.
Here we come to the area of the means of communicating that information. Back in the dark ages, we used our desktop computers to do so. (Do any of us remember those huge monitors that took up a quarter of the space on our desks? But I digress.) Now we've reached the age when we use pagers and cell phones and mobile devices, iPhones, iPads, Droids and Blackberries, in order to communicate. (Let us not forget other tools such as laptops and Skype.) Originally used for sending messages and having telephonic conversations, our equipment empowers us to do many more things and collaborate in many more ways.
What's your company's policy on use of devices in the workplace? The important aspect of its use is setting parameters that are definitely understood by workers regarding confidentiality and other matters that should never slip out of the boundaries of the enterprise. Maybe that's a matter for HR. Maybe that's something that each manager should routinely talk about so that workers are reminded of specific instances where confidentiality is involved in the content of the work.
It sort of serves as a primer to this subject, but you may want to read Extreme BYOD: When consumer tech goes to unexpected places. Incidentally, do all of us operate on the same definition of BYOD? You may want to look at how your organization define and uses it or suppresses its use.
As alluded to, there are security issues that need to be addressed as BYOD begins to propagate the enterprise. Social networking security in the workplace gives us some things to consider in that regard.
We need to open our eyes to that fact that SM and devices have taken hold in the company. The usefulness goes beyond use of the device while in the field so that headquarters doesn't have to send someone out to meet us or wait until we come back in to notify of the emergency. Use of a company device is definitely less costly (and more efficient) than disseminating pagers.
Also important is the matter of whether all devices are compatible with others for the purposes of sharing information or having meetings. Yet another consideration is use of enhanced devices because of an impairment. Can those workers still communicate and participate in conversations and trainings from their devices? No doubt, as technology takes more matters into consideration, they do. But we need to bring those matters into the picture as we formulate and update our policies - and communicate them to the rest of the enterprise.
There's a lot of information and thoughts in the field on BYOD. A few that have reached my Inbox may be of interest to you are:
- Can You Explore Employees' Personal Devices at Work? - Legality of Accessing Personal Devices
- Extreme BYOD: When consumer tech goes to unexpected places - iPhones and personal laptops aren't just sneaking into office settings; they're going high (into space), low (underwater), and everywhere in between

Lots of interconnecting tales about visitors to and residents of the small holiday village of Everdene, all linked by having access to a beach hut.
Elodie's story runs through the whole book, from when she met and then jilted her prospective husband in the church after having found he was sleeping with her Mother, right to the present day when she returns in her 70's.
Some of the characters know each other, others meet for the first time, and some never meet each other at all.
There is love, hate, betrayal, forgiveness and much more, all the ingredients for an intriguing and enjoyable story.

Lists of names are typically not very exciting in the Bible. Throughout the Old and New Testament, we come across genealogies and lists of names that do not mean much to us at all. 2 Samuel 23, however, is an exception to that rule as far as I'm concerned. The list of David's mighty men we find in that chapter speaks volumes about who David was and how the men closest to him defined his destiny.
I love David and enjoy talking about his passion for God, his exploits, and how God blessed him. But what about Heleb son of Baanah the Netophahite or Benaiah son of Jehoiada? Now I can hear you saying, "who do you say? I've never heard of those people!" Heleb and Benaiah were just two of the mighty men listed in 2 Samuel 23 as men who stayed by David's side through thick and thin and made a name for themselves through the courage and valour they displayed. I am convinced that the story of David would have turned out very differently without these 37 mighty men in his life.
Abishai, Benaiah, Josheb-basshebeth, Shammah – these and many more are names of men worth mentioning in the context of David's life, successes, and exploits. Too often is David perceived as one brilliant, passionate, and godly man who single-handedly did what he did. No leader stands by himself, and David is no exception. I'm sure many of these men joined him back in the wilderness days, the time when David ran from Saul. Many of these men must have been there when David killed Goliath, when he spared Saul's life, when he wept for his son Absalom…they went through everything together. Study the life of David and you will quickly see that these men had lots of chances to abandon David – but they didn't. No, the book of Samuel would have read differently without these mighty men.
We all need mighty men. Every leader needs men in his life that will stand by him, protect him, and fight for him through thick and thin. Nobody can do what God has called them to do alone and by himself. We all need our Abishais, our Benaiahs and our Josheb-basshebeths. We will not make it to our destination without them. We need their courage, valiance, warnings, reminders, and prayers.
One final name appears in that list of valiant men, a name that serves as a severe warning: Uriah the Hittite. Uriah was the husband of Bathsheba, the woman David slept with and impregnated. We do well to remember that what many refer to as 'David's great sin' was committed when he was away from his mighty men when he should have been fighting by their side. No matter how great, strong, popular, godly, or amazing we are – we all need mighty men, just like David did. Ignoring that fact could have dire consequences.

She's so excited. It's almost her day. It's a biggie in the life of a child. And it will soon be here. She was born just two days after her daddy turned 30. Yep, that means his birthday will soon be here, too. What will we do this year? We haven't talked about it – yet. I'm not fond of elephants stomping around the room, so we will.
It's been about 20 months. I had to stop and count this time. It's not a tally that is constantly ticking in the front of my mind anymore. These aren't "firsts" for us anymore. But they are still there. They always will be.
I'm grateful I'm a widow. That probably sounds shocking, but if I had a choice as to how I was to become single again, I'd choose to be the widow of a person who had a chronic disease. I would choose the path I was given. Through the experience I saw him grow. I saw myself grow. I saw many people around us grow. I see people grow even now because of what occurred then. We had time to say what needed to be said. He did not choose to walk away from me or the kids. We were not abandoned nor rejected. I don't go to bed at night and wonder if he's thinking of me. I don't turn on the radio and wonder if he remembers "us" when he hears a song. I don't order ice-cream and wonder if he orders the same flavor just because he remembers I like it. I don't wonder if he will call some day and tell me he still loves me. There has not been a single word added to the record of our relationship these past twenty months. There may be new ways to consider old things, but there are no new things to consider. His thoughts are no more. He is no more. And God is good.
Presenting God's goodness in a way that is truthful and real to a young lady who has experienced the loss of her daddy whom she adored is a challenging task. Surely an enemy has done this – an enemy who roams about seeking whom he may devour. And God is so good, good beyond measure, that He will let this whole show-down between good and evil play out to its bitter end. Then when all the pieces to the puzzle of this world fit together, we will see, all will see, and proclaim that He is righteous and holy and good – all the time.
God has not left me. He will never leave me nor forsake me. It will be a ~HaPpY bIrThDaY~!

for those of you that know me, i am not really a
maybe it's because,
running after my kids {about 5 houses down} makes me winded...
or maybe it's because,
when i do try to "run",
the feeling of throwing up, and being stabbed in my side,
are sooo overwhelming
that i have to stop about 3 minutes into it...
or maybe it's because,
my friends are so shocked at my beet red face,
that they actually, really think i have a horrible sunburn...
{gasps and all ;}
or maybe it's because,
my brother-in-law,
actually laughs out loud when he sees me run,
and pleads with me to tell him my rout so he can take pictures.
{to get a good laugh later}
ya ya ya.
i am not athletic,
with that said.
i went running for the "real" first time,
last week.
yes i had the stabbing cramp,
yes i felt like throwing up,
{but tried sooo hard not to in front of my cute, marathon running friend,
who hadn't even broke a sweat yet, and kept asking me in her calm, un tired,
voice, "are you doing ok?"}
and when i finally finished!
{just short of a mile...}
i wanted to DIE!
{annnnd my neighbor gasped and asked "oh my gosh sweetie, did you get burned??!!"}
just lisa.
the out of shape weak sac, with the beet red face!
and the next day,
i felt like and 80 year old woman...
{the whole day...and the next day...}
i went again.
i went again.
we started running...
{bypassing my "frisbee golf" playing neighbor's, who would have gotten a kick out of seeing
my uncoordinated, red faced self trying to run...}
and we ran
and ran
{no stabbing cramps}
and ran!
and i ran 2 miles!!
{i know...you were expecting me to say like, "5" or something...}
and today i only felt like a 50 year old woman...
not bad.
soon i will be a
"super woman running fool"
*buffalo gal*
