April 1, 2009

Without knowing it, I had already found a love of Cloud Computing. I found that bouncing my email from ISP to ISP was inefficient and difficult to manage my archived items years ago and had moved to Yahoo for my personal email and Gmail for my professional contacts. Not only was I no longer tied to my home computer but by moving to the cloud I was able to access the data even faster! SalesForce seems to have taken all of the regular office utilities and moved them to be easily shared and gave access to an entire workforce! Pretty clever.

Chocolate Salon San Francisco

March 22, 2009

Few people get to experience heaven without the sudden abrupt meeting with the front bumper of a bus or something.

MGT521 – Management

January 21, 2009

MGT521 introduced concepts such as collaboration, problem solving, and ethics. As with all classes at the University of Phoenix the first class is the formation of groups. Luckily two of the campus staff, Kari Peloza and Lois Smith, were scheduled to be in the class and my entrance interview earned me a recommendation for their group.
