There’s a breakfast at the U of M tomorrow that business managers and IT managers may be interested in. Dr. Vallabhajosyula Sambamurthy, who I shall refer to as “Bill” for the remainder of this paragraph because I don’t feel like typing that long name over and over, will speak on “Enterprise Agility and Information Technology Management.” Bill is co-author of a book, Winning the 3-Legged Race : When Business and Technology Run Together
Mmmm. A breakfast buffet sounds good. Are there any Shoney’s left in town?

My sixth article for Saving Consumers Time is now up. This one is about single serve coffee machines, machines that brew one cup of coffee at a time, allowing each person in your home or office to enjoy exactly the cup of coffee they want. These things are a cost-effective alternative to driving through Starbucks every morning.
Thanks to all of you who have sent words of support and encouragement today. (In case you missed this morning’s post, I got laid off yesterday.) I’ve already had one person ask me to contact him about employment opportunities, and another who has some consulting work. I’ll get back to you real soon about those – my e-mail box is flooded right now, and I’m still in shock from the events of yesterday, so please give me a day. I’m also considering panhandling as an option. I figure I’d have an advantage over all the other panhandlers Downtown, since I don’t smoke crack, and I’d be the only panhandler on the street who knows that the plural of “cent” is “cents.”
All right… gonna take care of a few things, then head to Bardog with the laptop. Due to the rain I didn’t get to early vote today. Maybe tomorrow.
