Scott McNealy Talking About Open Source


Below is Scott McNealy, former co-founder, President and CEO of Sun Microsystems, giving a great talk at POSSCON 2012 that I just stumbled upon because I was thinking about the fact that it has been five years since Oracle purchased Sun.. This is very interesting because Scott gives an open source history lesson and what is needed now. I have been and will always be a HUGE fan of Scott McNealy.  I also cannot thank Scott enough for writing the foreword for my book, MTConnect: To Measure Is To Know (along with Dr. Dave Patterson of University of California at Berkeley). Enjoy this hour long talk...


The DC Auto Show in 2015 - Corvette Z06 and Stingray


Julie and I attended the DC Auto Show two weeks ago today.  I finally got around to put the photos in.  As you can see, we spent most of our time looking at Corvette Stringrays :-)

Below are four photos of the absolutely amazing supercar the Corvette Z06.  Zero to sixty in 2.95 seconds starting at a very reasonable $79,000.





Below are three photos of me appearing pretty happy in a Corvette Stingray :-)
