Last week I gave a presentation on IT - past, present, and future for a particular vertical market.
I guess it's time for "Ontario Emperor IT - past, present, and future."
David Allen (not to be confused with Allen David) has a blog.
Let's take a step back...back to the twentieth century. Before I became an internationally recognized expert on Oracle giveaway pillows, my two claims to fame were as follows:
- A 1999 call-in to a Los Angeles "Anti-Radio" show hosted by the Poorman (Jim Trenton). I have no idea what I talked about.
- A September 13, 1998 mention in the David Allen column in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. Again, I have no idea what I talked about; the article has long since disappeared from the online archives (I used to link to it, but the link broke), and I haven't made an effort to find it recently.
(Actually, I'm serious about that. If my daughter had to choose between her e-mail account and her MySpace account, she'd probably drop the e-mail. And she's not even a Twitter fanatic like her dear old dad. Luckily.)
Now, it's possible to interact with Mr. Allen in a more public and interactive mode.
I'd ask him if he were writing about the Taco Bell controversy, but there's isn't too much of a local angle to it (well, people will certainly go to local Taco Bells, but they won't be debating network product placement).

Hi David - I was the one who asked you to delve into the historic calendars at the Chino restaurant, the "Cock-A-Doodle".
Can you find out how in the world the Upland Public Library was allowed to sponsor an event tonight (9-17-08) titled: "PIMP YOUR BACKPACK"? We were shocked that a supposedly educational institution was using the work "pimp" to encourage students to come in to decorate their backpacks. The Director of the library, Ms. Kathy Bloomberg-Rissman, told me today that the teenagers "identify" with this word, and have no understanding of the true definition of the word. Yeah, right.
On a more lighthearted note, could you please give us all an update on the splendid Chinese restaurant - the Yangtse (sp?) on Euclid in downtown Ontario? I don't see any new replacement blue awnings, but the sign is still painted on the brick wall. Parking problems aside, we still frequent the place, as we have for 3 decades. Thanks David!
