The final podcast episode for this morning — the third of three. In this episode, I talk about the wild and wooly process of learning what I could eat, and why anything that I might actually want to eat would kill me in short order. This was the part that, had I not already been scared out of my wits, would have terrified me. It’s become much easier to deal with as the panic has subsided, but this is still one of the areas that many folks trip over. It’s a biggie.

The second podcast episode for this morning — the second of three. In this episode, I talk about the process of learning about cardiac rehab. I knew that I enjoyed walking, but I never dreamed how important it would become in getting me through this process. I also talk a bit about the mental and emotional sides of rehab — they’re far more important than many people think.

A new podcast for this morning — the first of three. In this episode, I talk about the process of learning about my medications, and the importance of doing my own research.

This morning you’re going to see three quick posts with brand new podcast episodes. Why three in one morning? Deadlines, friends, deadlines. I’ll have more from the world of Interop later this week, plus other news and (I hope) a dose of bloggy goodness.

I’ve been spending a fair amount of time ramping up blogging activities. Not here, obviously, but over at the Inside Interop blog. This week, I’ve had posts on cloud computing, data center air-conditioning, print servers, as well as the popular weekend wrap-up post. In addition, I’ve been working on the Interop LinkedIn group, the Interop FaceBook page, and the interop_events Twitter feed. There’s also a major new social networking development that I’ll be able to talk about next week.
So what’s next? More of the same, plus at least three more episodes of the new podcast, a new video (or three, or four…), plus some feature writing (and, oh yeah, I’ve got to finish up my course work for the Spring term). Aside from that, it’s just sitting around watching races on TV for me…
More later…

I’m starting a new podcast project today, and I’m not sure how many episodes it will have. In the episodes I’ll talk about how I’ve learned about my heart — and what I’ve learned. The project is part of a great class I’ve had this term, Designing On-Line Curriculum, at the University of Florida. You can download the podcast episode here, or listen with the embedded player below.
Let me know what you think — more episodes will be coming later this week.

I’ve been busy blogging over at the Inside Interop site, and there’s a lot more activity to come. We’re working on various social networking approaches to building the Interop community, and I’ll be writing about those here very soon.
I’ll also be starting a new podcast series here — the subject is how I’ve learned about working with cardiac issues. The impetus behind the series is simple — it’s for a class at UF — but I hope that folks will enjoy the way the series goes together. I’m using it as an opportunity to try some new blog capabilities, so it should be an adventure all around.
While we’re waiting for those, feel free to head over to Inside Interop to check out my posts on network infrastructure, keynote addresses, and cloud computing. There’s more to come, soon…

This morning I blogged about the Silicon Valley phone sabotage on the Inside Interop blog. It’s a great object lesson in physical security — why padlocks can be just as important as firewalls in protecting an I.T. infrastructure. It’s also a good lesson in the importance of redundant paths for critical services. We’ve seen, time and again, just how vulnerable single points of failure make a system, and this incident proves it yet again.

My first small article as a returning freelance writer is up. It’s good to have something “in print” again, but it’s obvious (to me) that I’m still in the process of getting my mind’s muscles back in shape. The physical side of things seems to be heading in the right direction…I just hope the mental side can keep up. I suppose there’s something to be said for being healthy yet “not the sharpest tool in the shed,” but I don’t want to be the one saying it.
Anyway, feel free to go take a look at the article on small business security and insider threats. There’s also a new blog post on netbooks and network infrastructure up at the Inside Interop blog. Let me know what you think about each of these — I’m looking for feedback on how my writing looks these days.
Keep your eyes open for a new series of podcasts coming soon. One of my classes at UF has a project requirement for podcasts and I thought that “learning about cardiac rehabilitation and health” might be a good topic, since I’ve been giving it more than a little thought lately. My only real question is whether to do them as audio or video podcasts — if you feel strongly about it one way or the other, let me know.
That’s it for now…more later.

OK, so I know it’s been a loooong time since the last post. I intended to spend some time blogging around the holidays, but I didn’t feel very good so that didn’t happen. Then I was going to start blogging seriously when my position at InfoWorld was eliminated, but right after that I ended up in the hospital for 19 days, so that didn’t happen. Now, I’m home, and blogging on a free-lance basis, and it’s time to get back into the real world…so here I am.
The plan is to start keeping up with this blog on a regular basis, both for things I don’t have anyplace else to write about, and to let folks know about my other activities. There are some reviews coming up, but until then you can read the beginnings of my work on the Inside Interop blog.
Thanks for stopping by — there will be more, later.
