Survival for the high-powered, IT Exec: The ultimate wired office/gym!

The ultimate wired office/gym! Walkstation! Internet Treadmill Workstation! Sounds silly? Yes, as first? Like being alive? The this is no joke. I've been working with Physical Therapist on this for 4 years now:(see http://crockettdunn.blogspot.com/2008/02/holy-grail-found-introducing-best.html ) Survival for the high-powered, IT Exec: The ultimate wired office/gym! Hello there. My name is Crockett. I own an IT business. I love life... I mean, I love being alive, and I intend to postpone the cessation of my being alive for as long as possible. This product list is for the serious information technology worker concerned for her or his physical health. Let's face it, our generation has seen enough sedentary IT worker and computer addicts die of cardiovascular related illnesses anywhere from their late 20s to early 40s. This is serious. So perhaps it's more appropriate to say that this product listing is intended to help the IT/Knowledge worker stay healthy, and SURVIVE in an industry that constantly begs us to "please be seated." The Ultimate Internet Treadmill Workstation, Totally Wired Home Gym, and generally surviving and staying healthy as an information technology professional have all generated enough interest to merit going beyond my "generic, personal," blogs and offering this as an Amazon List, and an exclusive blog, here, http://internet-treadmill-workstation.blogspot.com/. With that, to those seeking physical and fiscal health in this post-information-revolution era in which we live, I say, "WELCOME!" (from the treadmill, in fact). Come in, explore, and most of all SHARE your methods and experiences with countering what has historically been a purely sedentary vocation.

This is so sweet

This is so sweet:

My router emails me its diary every week so I can keep in touch with what
it's been up to...

How cute!

Joyous Technology in your Bathroom

This week has been the perfect storm of business and personal "stuff." So I gave myself a little reward.

I bought a red, blue illuminated, temperature-aware shower head that streams light through the jets: red for hot and blue for cold.

The household revolution has only begun.

Next come the faucet heads:


TEMPERATURE-AWARE FAUCET HEADS EVERYWHERE!


THE PEOPLE DEMAND TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE, LIGHT-EMITTING FAUCET HEADS!!!


[As soon as CDLLC achieves regional, national, then global domination, we will be upgrading to this one, much more elegant.]

Beautiful Home Available in North-East Pasadena, CA (Greater Los Angeles Area).

Walk the neighborhood using Google street level, here

More gorgeous photographs here:
http://crockettdunn.blogspot.com/2007/06/worlds-best-home-for-sale-in-pasadena.html
The place has a swimming pool, gorgeous view of the mountains from the upstairs patio/balcony, new appliances, new electrical, upgraded kitchen. Four blocks from the Eaton Canyon hiking area, and about a mile from the off-leash dog park.

And for my fellow Information Technology workers, all rooms are fully cat5 wired and gigE ready, from central, ventilated server room (the coat-closet under the stairs).

It's a peaceful, quiet neighborhood... no helicopters, search lights, and all the stuff that comes with downtown Los Angeles. We found it to be a nice break from the intensity of of medical training and starting up a business.

If you're a Google Maps user, check out the neighborhood (click here, http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=114041658695191030139.00045386863e1758da6e3&ll=34.159084,-118.087192&spn=0.015732,0.038624&z=15), from the Eaton Canyon nature area, Victory Park (baseball, football, soccer, picnics, special events, weekly farmers market), to the people and off-leash dog park. There are several golf courses nearby, plus a gym about 6 doors down.

Easy commute to CalTech, Fuller Seminary, USC undergrad, USC medical school, and USC residency hospitals.

Ah! I almost forgot about the Peacocks, the arboretum, and so much more... in case I left anything else out, I've included a link with HOUSE PHOTOS here (http://crockettdunn.blogspot.com/search/label/Pasadena%20House), from when we leased to our first tenants!

I only wish I had time to add a more comprehensive map and tag more of our secret Pasadena neighborhood attractions. I will leave it to you to search for Hollywood, the Staples Center, and all of the non-secret great stuff that comes with living in the LA Metro area.

Sungard EXP Web 5.x Users, and The Wisdom of Crowds

I'm going to make an expection and mix businsess and personal blogs to try to drum up some enthusiasm for the new Sungard EXP Web User Forums. The new blog can be found here: http://sungardexpweb.blogspot.com/.

This is a place for users of Sungard's EXP Web and its predecessor Octane8 to discuss common challenges and put our brains together to solve problems.

Background: Sungard's EXP Web is a piece of software, a Content Management System (CMS), which CDLLC uses to deploy some of our clients' web-based applications. It's very robust and functionality-packed, so naturally users are full of questions. My hope is that this forum will serve as means for us to help one another answer these questions.

***Please respond by comment post if you would like to become a contributing author, and someone will contact you with further information. ***
