The Countdown to Solutions 2006 Has Begun

Greetings all from Phoenix... Phoenix, Arizona... just in case you did not know where Phoenix sits geographically.

Okay, I realize this is not Las Vegas, but then again I have about 36 hours to burn until Solutions 2006 begins.

In the ensuing hours... my excellent technology adventure begins right here... in warm, sunny, wonderful Phoenix.

Why here... not there?

One word Huevos Rancheros... okay two words, but still the best eggs money can buy.

Also... NASCAR... can we all say Jimmy! No, I am not going to the race, but just being in the same town with the great one is something special.

For reference... over the next 36 hours I will be updating the blog from the road... as I find free Internet access at KOA campgrounds along the route.

Please don't tell KOA as I do not have a budget for them. Maybe just the mention of their name will offset the lost revenue from my piggybacking on the connectivity.

For now... it is late and I need to finish my technology game plan for the conference.

I will lay that out for you a bit later... but trust me... it's going to be great! That goes out to an acquaintance of mine Dr. Rick Christoph, who was right it is going to be great!

Night for now and talk to you soon.
