Do you love storage? Are you in the Seattle area? Join us for Storagebeers tonight at Joey Bellevue!

Fasting to Mitigate Jet Lag: Surprise! It Works!

Oh yes! A real breakfast to break my fast!

I’m a frequent traveler, and thus a frequently suffer from moderate jet lag. It’s just so hard to adjust to a new time zone! But I recently stumbled on a simple method many claim helps your internal clock re-calibrate to travel. After trying it out on my trip to Australia last week, I’m convinced it can help!

Australia VMUG User Conferences, Melbourne and Sydney

Everybody uses Sydney Harbour to illustrate Australia, so I will too. This apocalyptic Tsunehisa Kimura artwork is the cover of Midnight Oil's Red Sails in the Sunset, one of my all-time favorite albums!

I’ve been invited to give keynote speeches at the Melbourne and Sydney VMware User Conference events! I’m really looking forward to seeing Australia, meeting up with great friends there, and giving some all-new session talks!

Dell World 2012: A Retrospective

The Austin Convention Center was awash in "Dell blue" last week

Dell invited me to attend their Dell World conference in Austin, Texas last week, and it was an enlightening experience.

Storage Developer Conference, Santa Clara CA

If you’re a real storage geek like me, you simply must attend SDC. If you’re there this year, come say hi! If not, you should start making plans for next year. Be there!

VMworld US 2012, San Francisco

VMworld is the best IT Infrastructure show on the planet!

At the end of August, I’m headed to San Francisco for VMworld US 2012! I say this with quite a bit of excitement because VMworld is always a highlight of my year but also because of the fun stuff I have planned this year: A special Tech Field Day Roundtable discussion, fun meetups like VMunderground, and of course lots of great technical content!

Building Virtual Infrastructure Seminar, San Jose CA

I’m heading back to San Jose at the end of August for another Building Virtual Infrastructure seminar presented by Truth in IT. These all-day events are a chance for end-users to learn more about next-generation servers, networks, and storage.

Building Virtual Infrastructure Seminar in London

This week, I returned to the Europe, and I’m glad to be back! I spent the weekend in Belgium visiting friends, but now I’m back in London for my next Building Virtual Infrastructure seminar. If you’d like to learn more about next-generation servers, networks, and storage I urge you to attend this event, whether in London or my future dates!

Cisco Live US, San Diego CA

Extreme? No way! That's networkers for you!

Next week I’m off to San Diego for Cisco Live US 2012. My previous experience with Cisco Live was definitely positive: It’s a whole world of networking fanatics and lots of ecosystem companies. Plus, last year included an amazing party hosted by yours truly (in disguise!)
