Back from Las Vegas and Reno, finally!
Posted by James B. in Personal, Technology on May 1, 2009
Finally got back from my trip last night. I received the 2009 COMMON/IBM Power Systems Innovation Award for Energy Efficiency this past Sunday! It was awesome and it is such an honor to receive such an award. I will post some pictures from the awards ceremony when I get them from Kevin and Larry.
USBC Queens & Womens Tournament – Reno, NV
I finally got into Reno this morning and got settled in. I am now over at the National Bowling Stadium poking around in the infrastructure here. I must say that I am more impressed with this facility than the Cashman Center in Las Vegas. It is just beautiful.
USBC Open Tournament – Las Vegas
This was definitely a sight to see. It is insane the amount of bowlers that are here. I got to take a look around the curtain to see the infrastructure that runs it and I have to say that they run a pretty tight little ship. Needless to say, I will definitely be redesigning and consolidating alot of that into a BladeCenter and VMware. Now off to Reno!
Las Vegas and Reno
I am leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow morning to go check out the tournament infrastructure at the Cashmen Center. Supposedly I will be redesigning the infrastructure as it is big and old. I will then be going to Reno on Saturday to receive the IBM/COMMON Innovator of the Year Award for Power Management. Sounds like my next week is going to be fun!
Fat Tuesday
What better of a day for my divorce to be finalized on but today! I am officially divorced as of today! I already had a reason to go celebrate tonight and now I have even more of a reason to celebrate! Anyway, I felt I would share that little schtick…
