Lotusphere Comes to You - Minneapolis
If you haven't heard, Lotusphere Comes To You will be in Minneapolis April 15, 2009. The location is at the Park Place Doubletree. No excuses not to attend, admission is free!
Even more than the presentations on Social Software, Unified Telephony, Portal and LotusLive, I'm looking forward to visiting with the vendors. Be sure to swing through and try to visit with as many of the IBM Business Partners as you have time. They're a big reason LCTY is possible.
Look for me and say hello. See you there!

Minneapolis St. Paul Lotus Notes User Group Meeting
Great turnout last night for the Minnesota Notes User Group. Tom and John did fine job highlighting the recent offerings from Lotus that were announced at LotusSphere this year. Thanks to the Meridian guys for providing the space to meet. I especially enjoyed some of the Q & A that occurred toward the end. I hope there's more of that in future meetings.
Also, it was good to have the opportunity to talk to a few Notes folks afterward at TGI Fridays. (Greg, Mark and Jeff, it was great to get to know you guys.) Hopefully the social time afterward will be a regular component of the meetings.
Finally, if you're a Notes person in the Twin Cities and haven't attended recently, I would highly recommend attending. There is great benefit in having a community of fellow Notes Admins and Developers to bounce ideas off and these days it doesn't hurt to do a little networking too.

Is what's interesting to me interesting to you?
I've been running Google Analytics for a little while and was curious about what kinds of things people are interested in here. It kind of breaks down into a couple categories:
1. Business and/or Economy, 2. Lotus Notes. This makes sense as that's pretty much the two major categories I find interesting enough to write about. But lets dig a little deeper.
Overall, the most hits I've received on a single post falls into the Business and/or Economy category. A little blurb about the Miller High Life Superbowl ad seemed catch peoples attention. Probably because I titled the Post "Why Didn't Lotus Think of This?" To be fair, I did subtitle it "Don't blink or you'll miss Miller's Superbowl Ad." If you didn't see it, here it is:
As for my favorites, I liked my entry on the Long Tail and the one about how your people are your competitive advantage.
In the second catetory, Lotus Notes, the top vote getter was a reference to a comment I made on Ed Brill's blog. But to be fair, riding Ed's coattails is probably not a legitimate winner. So the number one really should be my post about the difficulty in locating some Lotus Foundations product information.
Seeing as I'm not by nature a complainer, I offer up my favorite in the Lotus Notes category: Notes Formulas for Strings and Lists. (But I am very partial to "Approaches to generating custom HTML of a document collection (view) from notes data via XML(DXL)" as I think the LotusScirpt XML processing classes are pretty handy.)

Contrarian words these days?...hope not!
Thomas Paine: "I seek opportunity ... not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen ... dulled by having the state look after me … I refuse to barter incentive for a dole; I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence."
