So, if you are in the iSchool you should have received an e-mail from the Dean about the Informatics students that are participating in the URS. What stunned me was that one of them was none other than our favorite Informatics-do-it-all-in-javascript-student, who shall remain nameless. It simply stunned me. Now, there are some other great people from the Informatics program presenting (OpenAgent, Botanical RFID, to name a few) with projects that are worthy of the Symposium. But man, if he can get in…

T-Mobile Compass
T-Mobile Compass – Ever wanted to know what your estimated coverage is in a specific area on T-Mobile? Pretty neat. Of course, being in a building/underground/not outside will vary your results.
INFO Personals: Juniperx
That’s right folks, not only does Fark have personals, but so does the yet-to-never-be-created INFO portal! I’d say collect them all, but I don’t feel like making more than one… or do I?

Moussaoui pleads guilty to role in Sept. 11 attacks, could be put to death – “He also acknowledged that, when questioned in Minneapolis less than a month before the Sept. 11 attacks, he ‘lied to federal agents to allow his Al-Qaida ‘brothers’ to go forward [and] … fly planes into American buildings.'”
Quick Start!
Well, this past week I have been in training at Avanade. They call this Quick Start and it is a basic rundown of all the things that you need to know in order for you to get up and running after you get hired. The basic format of the training is that they bring in about 35 people from all over the world to do their training at their office in Seattle. So, I got lucky in the fact that I didn’t have to travel to training. But, being able to meet all of these people from such different walks of life was simply amazing. Aside from the training, getting to interact with all of these people was really cool.
Also, as an added fun thing to do, Avanade treated all of us to Cooking School at Blue Ribbon Cooking School Tuesday night. So, we go out to the school, make our food, learn some new tricks, and eat good food. Sounds cool, huh? That was probably one of the cooler things that we did during training. The school was cool and the food was awesome. I have the recipies to cook them, but I bet I’ll be too lazy to make them. You can see pictures from last night on my Flickr account.
Yea, the training was cool. I meet some cool people and had a really good time. I don’t know how other companies do their training, but I can’t say that I was dissapointed with the training that I had this past week. But, now it is onto projects, getting my MCP and working towards my PMP. Mmm…
Thank You Flickr!
As you know I purchased a Flickr Pro account in January and love it. Well, today Flickr lowered the price for a pro account to $24.95 a year (see article). That’s good and all for those of you that don’t have one and want one. But, I already have one… so, what do they do? Well, I now get my pro account for 2 years plus they gave me 2 invites to give out to anybody for a year of Flickr pro. And on top of that, the limits for a free account went to 20mb from 10mb and pro limits from 1gb to 2gb! Guess it’s time to take some more pictures!
