I have the little writers block thingy

You know the thing where you start thinking about your weekly entry and to capture your perspective on something and you either have nothing at all or in my case I am all over the place.  I have IT as a growth/profit versus cost center.  Too many companies struggle to get their head around that one unless they sell their IT directly.  Than there is ERP best in class versus fully integrated, but that has been done to death – though all the others have not seemed to have solve much.  What about mobility and the need to have everything accessible from any device?  I don’t have any specific perspective on the need for everything accessible accept – yeah.

Jump into the Windows 7 debate than.  Simple – too expensive, too much more hardware needed, new stuff but not revolutionary.  Microsoft stop evolving, I don’t have that much time to wait.  The global economic woes continuing and the impact on IT spending.  Sputtering economy has some thinking long term and most holding onto their cash still and no looking to let it go for anything.  Than we have the long range impact of China’s IT power versus the rest of the world.  Well, that took a hit due to the economy, but still something to worry about.

Okay, let’s get serious here – I have to write something.  Not that I get hundreds of views a week, but for my sake.  Green tech, there is always something to write about green tech.  Nope – just the same lower power consumption equipment, evolving software that connects to more devices so you know how many flushes a day per bathroom and the latest hybrid car.  Well, Ford is taking the approach of once again getting more miles per gallon from just gas with ‘boost’ power versus hybrid tech.  Think if they had taking that marketing/engineering leap 4 years ago they would still be begging for bailouts.  Nice to be innovative after you fail gloriously.  But, who am I to talk – I normally look much better after a spectacular failure.  Lowering that bar and everything.

Already, back to the subject at hand of a subject.  I am watching the ceiling fan, listening to Diana Krall singing ‘Cry a River over You’ and my L-mode (see Pragmatic Programmer – Refactor Your Wetware) is not accessible.  I could write another book review.  Nope, re-reading Refactor Your Wetware as Hunt recommends SQ3R.  I did buy two new books, but will save them for a later entry.

I could complain that Coke Zero or Pepsi Max is not offered in most vending or fountain machines.  What is with that Coke and Pepsi?  Feed my addiction.  My fav Pepsi commercial – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPZImMrAkV0

Alright, I give up.  This is what you get folks.  I will wait until Monday to post it in case I wake up in the middle of the night with a spurt of brilliance.  But, it has been 45 years and outside of when I was 9 and I woke up with the best idea of how to maximum pool time between the 4 pools we had between my friends (we could not swim unless a adult was around), I am still waiting for another one.
