Here’s what I’ve been doing this Father’s Day weekend…
Apple of My Eye and Cute as a Button and I spent most of yesterday working in our brand-new Mindstorms NXT laboratory building, programming and testing robots. So far we’ve built the TriBot, Alpha Rex, and Spike AKA The Scorpion. Both of them dig getting the robots to do their bidding, altho CaaB’s reactions have been roughly akin to that of a diabolical robot horde overlord.
Where did this come from? Really from four things… read more…

After dinner last night, the entire Career Express team headed to Target. It was just like a Susan Bradley Mountain Dew run, except without any Mountain Dew in any of the carts at all.
What were some of the things people did get?
And because it was Target, there’s a whole other level of affectation required…
But while we were waiting for everyone to finish checking out, I noticed something that, quite simply, take this bus tour to a whole other level of kickass…
Of course, I had to know…
Drunk with our newfound scores, we promptly got lost in the economy-sized elevator…
You know why? Because we’re the creme de la creme, that’s why!

MS Learning picked me as one of the six winners of a free trip to Tech-Ed 2009! Not only that, but I’m taking the road trip option. That’s right…cross-country via bus. Atlanta to L.A. in 11 days, with tons of stops in-between.
Here’s the current itinerary for the Career Express tour, straight from MS Learning’s kickass Born to Learn blog…
That’s a whole heaping lot of places where you can come get your learn on with us. We’ll be delivering technical intros and overview, career talks, and all kinds of stuff that’ll be so amazing, you’ll think you were stealing something. So if you’re within striking distance, I hope that you’ll come say “Heya” at one of our stops!
All that’s really just the start. The Career Express will also be at Tech-Ed 2009 with an “Are You Certifiable” booth where folks can play live rounds of the game for prizes. More details on all that later.
And you can bet I’ll be documenting the whole trip, right here at the Funcave. So stay tuned.

Anybody who’s interested in Essential Business Server from a technical or business perspective should run, not walk, over to YahooGroups.com and sign up for the EBS Virtual UserGroup AKA EBSUserGroup.
Founded by Amy Babinchak, this virtual user group focuses on (surprisingly enough) Essential Business Server and all the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious goodness it includes.
Right now, there’s a live poll for EBSUSerGroup members to indicate which topics they’d most like to hear about in upcoming webcasts. Stuff like:
So if mid-market’s your thing, or you want it to be, this is a darn good place to start getting your feet wet.
