What a great month this is!  As we approach Memorial Day weekend Rhonda and I are headed to our annual reunion with Jimmy and Vicki Henson, and their children Haley, Harper, and Seth.

Rolling Thunder 2012 will be attracting hundreds of thousands of my best friends and I can’t wait to join them on Sunday.

Those packs of motorcycles you see heading to Washington are most likely Veterans spending their time and money to raise awareness of POWs and MIAs that remain behind in foreign lands.  Give them your support and encouragement.

We want to show you how to use your calendar more efficiently together with your to do list. Each has its own functions and responsibilities, but they can work great in harmony once you know how.

There are many great use cases for Apache Hadoop, the open source framework for scalable, reliable, and distributed computing on commodity hardware built around Hadoop Distributed File System and MapReduce, such as delivering search engine results, sequencing genomes, and indexing entire libraries of text, but the Million Monkeys Project by Jesse Anderson may be the easiest to understand and the most fun.
