Damage

Last Friday a sales was fired. She was trying her best but the company did not recognize her hard-work. Today I was called in to the CEO's office. Obviously the sales said something honest on her last day, which was not very pleasing to the bosses. My boss told me that he wants to UNDO what happened in the last three months, and to begin damage control. The damage refers to the impact on the command system in the sales team that is collapsing due to different directions inside. I was blamed for spreading negative opinions and tense relationship with sales. It can't be undone, but seems I need my damage control plan now.

DEMO09 Winners Announced


DEMO 2009 is finished. Perhaps influenced by the economy tsunami, only 39 companies attended this event. This is almost 50% loss compares to previous records (I think it must be a dilemma for Chris Shipley to find a balance between companies that are willing to pay and those that really worth it.)

Among them, there are 7 DEMOgod winners and 1 People's Choice. I am interested in the above solution and is going to try it.

Sci-Fi Movie


What kind of movie will you expect when you see the title "IP MAN"? To me, it is definitely a sci-fi Matrix-like movie. Wrong answer! It is actually a Hong Kong martial art movie about the master of late martial art movie star, Bruce Lee. Ip Man was the name of the master in Cantonese. I wonder if he would be a hacker today if he's not dedicated to martial art.
