Overrated.


So the rumor is that Padmasree Warrior is on a short list of candidates for a new Cabinet-level position that Obama wants to create, a CTO of the nation type office. And the short list is apparently two people long. The fact that she is even on a list 1,000 people long stuns me and every other Motorolan who has had the pleasure of working for Mot while she was the CTO under Fast Eddie Zander. She was a travesty for Motorola. All she succeeded in doing was creating the nonsense buzzword "Seemless Mobility", that Zander hitched his CEO wagon onto to ride off into the sunset with her moseying on behind. Under them, our mobile phone division fell so far into the crapper, even Roto Rooter can't help us out now. Also, our Labs division, which she was the head of, as CTO, now no longer exists. So, Motorola, a company known for innovation and inventing, now does neither, and we can send all of our thanks directly to this woman. And now, she may be in a cabinet-level post for the entire country.

Oh, by the way, after she left Motorola once her safety net Eddie was ran out on a rail, she went to Cisco with record speed. And, apparently, being there a year, all she has succeeded in doing there is inventing more buzzwords. This time, its "Brainforming" instead of "Brainstorming." How ridiculous.

Here is a video of her managing to talk for over 3 minutes, yet say absolutely nothing of consequence. See if you can tally all of the buzzwords!!




Shocking. Appalling. Very Chicago.

Say it ain't so, Barack O!!!

Happy 2009!

Last night we went to a friend's house for a New Year's Eve party. It was a fun time and Bailey was allowed to come along. She got into the partying mood. She didn't exactly put a lampshade on her head, but came close.



I found these glasses at Walgreen's for 5 bucks. It occurred to me last night that the next time they'll be able to make glasses like that in the shape of the year with having two zeros in the middle will be in the year 3000. So, for 5 bucks, I got something people won't be able to buy for another 991 years! I don't think Methuselah even lived that long!!

Happy New Year!!
