I was excited to hear the national spelling bee was to be on "regular TV" a couple of days ago. I was very much in agreement with the news hour, in regards to "That it is great to see kids get this kind of recognition for mental achievement not just achievement in athletics". I remember writing a great paper regarding the "revenge of the nerds take II". Just like when Bill Gates and all the other non-bureaucratic engineers started to get real attention from their achievements we will see information savvy folks do the same. Forgive them they know not what they do. Ask the folks who are working the Google enterprise.
Domestic Travel -- Milwaukee
This past week I was in Milwaukee Wisconsin for a Global meeting. It was my first time spending anytime in the city of Milwaukee. It was good. Lots of bars, coffee houses similar in old factory buildings. We make some large mining equipment in Milwaukee. The size is staggering. The shovel in the pic is NOT the largest rope-shovel we make. I had fun with this pic of Gracie. I doctored it up a bit. I decided pile out my collection of boarding passes from the last 15 years. It is certainly not all of them and there are a few randow receipts besides airlines in there but it is most airline boarding passes. I just noticed today that they dont have the year listed, just Month and Day. I am sure with forenscis we could figure it out, but it was easy to remember what year it was I took the particualr flight. Also, the printing is low quality ment to be no permanet many are fading some are totally blank. The information has totally disappeared. It is the high speed hign reliability thermal
