Uninsured in America
Monday, July 7th, 2008I should’ve just titled this post “How to make yourself really mad in just a couple of minutes,” but I thought that might be just a tad bit too long for a subject. I originally got a link to Freemarket Cure from a close friend who also happens to be a medical doctor. […]

Back from TUCON 2008
Friday, May 9th, 2008Last week I attended the TIBCO User Conference in San Francisco (affectionately known as “TUCON”). It was a good event for learning more about Service Oriented Architecture software and implementation, but it’s the best event if you (like me) implement TIBCO Software. I thought that the best keynote speeches came from Robert Beauchamp, […]

TIBCO subtly announces it’s for sale
Sunday, October 21st, 2007In a somewhat brief statement with Reuters last Friday, TIBCO CEO Vivek Ranadive comments that the board would, “do what is right for shareholders” if a bid were made for the company. He further stated, “we are a very attractive franchise.” This announcement shouldn’t be surprising given that just one week prior Oracle […]
