Welcoming Matthew

September 9, 2010 8 Comments

VMworld is over, and my biggest concern was skirted…that Baby Mini-G (who was due just after Labor Day) wouldn’t arrive early while I was in San Francisco at VMworld. Skirted…but just. Matthew arrive the day after VMworld to both mine and my wife’s surprise. And after talking to the delivery nurse we’re glad we weren’t the subject of a local news segment for being in labor on Labor Day. In retrospect, we both were unmotivated to do anything on Thursday…almost like something was preparing us for the long day on Friday…

So, he’s the reason why there hasn’t been any post VMworld posts here on the blog…been focusing on settling into life as a new parent and an official member of the sandwich generation. Hopefully, once Matthew settles into a better sleep routine and I catch up on sleep there will be a bit more activity here…thought that may wait until I’m officially over my NPTO (New Parent Time-Off).

I happen to find myself in the RTP area this week, the same week as a Raleigh VMUG. So I’ll be attending this week’s lunch event, any readers plan on being there? There will be some new interesting stuff to discuss by then…

VMworld 2009 Portraits

September 19, 2009 3 Comments

Over 12,500 people descended on San Francisco’s Moscone Center at the end of August for VMworld 2009. Out of those masses, twelve took me up on my Portrait Project offer. This diverse group included VMware vExperts, IT Strategists, and VMware Administrators from around the world. Below, listed in alphabetic order, is one of the portraits from each of those individuals with a bit of information about them. Most have an online presence focused on virtualization, so make sure you click through on their photo to visit their site (most provided one).

Thanks to everyone who participated! What’s amazing, is that if you look at this set of photos you would never guess that they were all take within the same two block area of Moscone Center in San Francisco. In retrospect, not sure if I would be able to do more than twelve of these during something as hectic VMworld. We’ll have to see what next year brings…
