I don't know who the hell Matt is, or where the hell Matt is, but damn, I think he's the greatest.

Seems like everyone is a big fan of George Carlin now that he's dead. I loved his earlier stuff, back in the early to mid 70's, but then I guess the drugs and alcohol made him stupid and he dropped off the radar for a while. In his most recent incarnation he always struck me as angry and mean-spirited, and I found little joy in listening to him. But I ran into this clip recently, and I have to say it is genius. It comes across as sort of an old white-guy rap.

The Oxford Computer Group workshop started today at 0800. We had a sellout crowd for the workshop (again), and initial feedback has been incredibly positive: "I give it a 9 out of 10", and "totally awesome". For those who aren't familiar with this year's workshop, it walks each attendee through building a solution for a cross-organization collaboration scenario that includes deploying and configuring ADDS, ADFS, ADRMS, and ILM 2 (Beta 2). I'll get more detailed feedback at lunch later today.

Sounds like Scotty is making a slow and steady recovery. We'll miss him at DEC.
