Sonicwall Technical Day Tomorrow

Sitting in the Marriot World Center hotel in Orlando, FL tonight. Perched up in the back of the bar with a Long Island Ice Tea and the ball game on the big screen. I will be attending a Sonicwall Technical Day tomorrow which is being held here in the hotel. I am excited to see some of the new products that I haven’t had the chance to play with yet.

The Marriot has an interesting approach to internet access. You can get wired or wireless access for $15 dollars a day, or sit in the bar. It really depends on who you are as to which is the more affordable option XD

VMware User Group Meeting in Tampa, FL

Drove up to Tampa today to attend my first VMUG (VMware User Group) meet-up. The meeting was held at Southwest Florida Water Management District’s Tampa location and was really good. Representatives from SWFLWMD, VMware, EMC, Data Domain, Veeam!, and Symantec were present. The presentations were kicked off by the Senior System Administrator of SWFLWMD which was followed by presentations by VMware, EMC, and Data Domain. Overall the meeting was neat for me because it wasn’t the normal sales pitch / PowerPoint you to death onslaught that is normally standard fair for these type of gatherings. Apparently the Tampa area VMUG meetings are held quarterly. I am going to be attending more of these meetings in the future, it is worth the drive.

Got it! The Rush Limbaugh signed humidor

Well folks, I kept with my original bid for the signed humidor and I won! I placed my original bid just after the auction started and thought that I would lose for sure. Well, I didn’t and I am now the proud owner of this El Rushbo signed humidor. Hrmm, come to think of it, I’ve never even had a cigar, guess I need a recommendation or two.

Rush Limbaugh signed humidor

Rush Limbaugh signed humidor on eBay!

So a radio station in the area has this thing going on for soldiers, it is called Cigars for Soldiers. They basically send cigars to deployed troops as a show of appreciation. You can visit their webpage and get additional information here. Recently, someone from within the radio station offered up a humidor for sale on eBay, signed by none other than Rush Limbaugh. Apparently, Rush signed the humidor knowing that it was for a good cause and obviously, his signature helps to increase the value.

So why am I mentioning this on my technical blog? Because it is for a good cause and its your chance to get the signed humidor! I have placed a bid and I am currently the highest bidder, who knows how high I will go!?!

The direct link to the item is here.
