Forrester's Research Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George Colony talks about how Information technology should really be treated as Business Technology. He points out 7 specific items that he talks about with any CEO or business owner he meets with.
In this video he make some very good points but the one that stood out to me the most was "Stop Being Clueless"he goes on to say that all executives and business owners know about financials, marketing and all the other aspects of their business but have NO CLUE about technology, the one thing everyone use to make their business more productive, efficient and profitable. I personally have found this statement to be very true, i would even go as far as saying that 95% or more of the executives and business owners i have meet with are in this category.
Lastly i would like to thanks to Sean Green who 1st brought this video to my attention via his Magic Software Blog

I believe that when running a business you need to take some time out and have a good time. To much work and no play will quickly make your employees and the office environment miserable.
Last week (April 1st - 5th) Wayne (Marketing Director) and I went to a marketing boot camp in Nashville, TN. While the boot camp was very informative, and we met a lot of good people that were having the same types of struggles and successes with their business. We did manage to have some fun.
While we were in Nashville it just so happened the Spike TV's UFC Fight night was happening, so Wayne and I were fortunate enough to go to the event. If you have never been to a UFC event and you enjoy MMA, you must attend a live show. It is the one sporting event where you have the opportunity to shake hands, take pictures and talk with the athletes. We had a great time. Take a look at some of the pictures we took.

PC World's Ian Paul has a great blog about whats going on with the Conficker Worm now that April 1st has passed.
"April 1 has come and gone, and the Internet has not disintegrated and no major cyber-attacks were reported. But Conficker still remains a threat. Now don't panic, this doesn't mean cyber-Armageddon could strike at any minute, it just means you need to make sure your computer is fully updated if it isn't already. Feel better? Good, then let's take a look at what's going on.
Why It Ain't Over Yet"....
