Anyone who stumbles on this website, might look at my last post and think. Wow, he stopped writing when Steve Jobs passed away, he must have taken that seriously. Nope, sorry everyone, I just got busy with life. But I am back again!

- Hoping for the same forward thinking this morning that we saw in yesterday's keynote. #tcon11 #ualberta #yegit #
- Keynote by Michael Argast from Telus. He is new, I hope Telus hasn't eaten his soul yet. 🙂 #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Today's talk is highlighting why I felt the RIM talk yesterday felt dated. BB features aren't competitive any more. #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Mobile antivirus may be a backward step but it is inevitable. There will always be a need as hacks will always exist. #tcon11 #
- Hmm looks like the #tcon11 tag doesn't like me today. My tweets don't seem to be showing up. #ualberta #ualbertait #yegit #
- Wonder how many faculty break IT policy? #tcon11 #
- Social media crime hunt is the new age of Darwin! Let the criminals get themselves caught! #tcon11 #ualberta #yegit #
- Great opening talk! I hope the next talks are just as excellent. 🙂 #tcon11 #
- At @chrisj_moore talk about city of Edmonton IT. Interesting parallels to #ualberta IT planning needs. #tcon11 #
- Design fail L2-190 unless you are 5 feet tall you are in the way of the projections in this room at the podium. #tcon11 #
- Indexed and artificially intelligent open data center jointly developed between U of A and City of Edmonton. #suggestion #tcon11 #
- At VPIT talk #tcon11 we do need a complete cultural change at #ualberta so that people accept new technology quickly and easily. #
- Rate of technological change is so great that popular tech will change completely between 1st and 4th year in urgad study #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Campus IT needs to collaborate with cell carriers so campus cell coverage is pervasive! All mobile tech needs to work! #tcon11 #ualberta #
- VPIT: United we grow, divided we status quo. Nice. 🙂 #tcon11 #ualberta #ualbertait #
- Absolutely! Can you get others to think too? RT @mcguiganj How to do more with less? It's easy.. think! #tcon11 #
- Bad form Technocon, scheduling a tour during lunch, then when people return no food is left. Very bad! #tcon11 #ualberta #fail #
- #tcon11 closing keynote. Fundamental difference. The government would be "collecting" your information. You "volunteer" it to Facebook. #

- Good breakfast at Technocon but dissappointed in swag bag inconsistency. #tcon11 #yegit #
- Robin Winsor good opening keynote at #tcon11 a bit of a taste of TED talks of the past. #
- Technocon talk by Robin Winsor gets better and better I wonder what he thinks of a massive joint open data initiative with #ualberta #tcon11 #
- Robin Winsor talk about big data at #tcon11 has he been thinking about entirely virtualizing the cloud software and infrastructure #ualberta #
- Ok sitting in "This too shall pass – and other change myths" at #tcon11 excited to hear what is said. Things never change right?! #sarcasm #
- I decided to buck the trend and sit at the front in "this too shall pass" #tcon11 They are putting out paper and pens #interactive #ualberta #
- "This too shall pass" This is going to be interesting. #changemgmt #tcon11 #ualberta very experienced speakers! #
- "This too shall pass" so most places are about linear thinking just to get an answer. Breaking the rules might make things better! #tcon11 #
- "This too shall pass" Ideas get dropped when communication breaks down and patterns are all that exist! #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Ok just learned in "this too shall pass" that not everyone has a problem with change. Maybe it is just #ualberta fears change! #tcon11 Ooooh #
- User management as a service UMaaS at #tcon11 this should be interesting Another example of IT becoming transparent! #ualberta #
- Yes absolutely!! RT @jordanshodges When policy fails…. Try thinking. 🙂 #tcon11 #funny #
- Groups can't afford to stay in the data center business. Progression to the cloud just makes sense. #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Wow UMaaS with full workflow management really does implement on demand computing! #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Whoa! Completely control end point computing access from within your HR application?! Amazing! #integrationwin #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Definition of irony RIM guy talking about balancing needs of clients with RIMs current performance in the consumer market. #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Dragons and laser beams to protect infrastructure?! I need to upgrade!!! #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Nick Dawson RIM "mobility and smartphones are the present" will he talk Augmented Reality? #AR #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Booyaa called it! I see Augmented Reality on his slide! #AR #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Bandwidth providers better realize, yes you can charge for use but be realistic or you will fail in the face of competition. #tcon11 #wind #
- "don't give away the keys to the kingdom????!!!!" wait what did RIM do in certain other countries recently when pushed? COME ON! #tcon11 #
- Kudos for Nick Dawson handling the country privacy question. But what did RIM really say to them? I lack trust. #tcon11 #ualberta #
- Good time at #tcon11 today. I hope tomorrow is as enlightening as today was. #ualberta #ualbertait #yegit #
