Been a While
It's been a while since I posted anything original here so let's take a stab at it, shall we.
What's new?
I've been working like a dog over here at the job trying to fix up some virtualization stuff. I've made some good progress.
I'm taking tomorrow off for a sick day to undergo oral surgery. Not exactly looking forward to the procedure itself but it will be nice to have it finally over and done with.
Laine and I are looking at renting a house here in Mountain View. That would be soo nice. It's over on Mariposa drive, not too far from downtown Mountain View and the Caltrain.
That's it for now.
More details to follow I'm sure.

MIcrosoft MSN to Buy Third Screen Media
Welcome to RCRNews.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Microsoft in talks to acquire Third Screen Media
We predicted that advertising via mobile phones would heat up this year, and now it looks like mobile marketing firm Third Screen Media might make some pretty hefty cash as players like Microsoft want to get into the mobile advertising game. Rumors are suggesting that Microsoft's MSN unit is in negotiations with Third Screen Media, which already offers a full-service advertising solution to content publishers seeking to port their content into the wireless market. Third Screen is in a position where it could wait for other suitors and cash out with the highest bidder as larger players like MSN have to build their capabilities from the ground up. Operators are looking to bring outside advertising onto their decks as a way to subsidize the content on their portals. Carriers like Verizon are in the midst of testing different advertising models while content publishers are pushing operators to allow them to sell ads in their content.
