Enterprise integration with Building Automation Systems is a hot topic. All your major IT integrators are exploring this while the BAS community is actively working on web services standards. Google oBIX and BACnet Web Services. The process control industry also has OPC which is often used in buildings too; OPC is working on their web services spec called Unified Architecture.
Wal-Mart and HP are rumored to be coming out with a $399 laptop this holiday season, and it actually sounds sweet (fyi, don't let AMD Sempron scare you, it is the Thoroughbred Athlon XP). You'll probably need to buy Windows seperately. Google has more details.
Most of kids I work with are barely aware of Aliens. Bladerunner will remain great in the minds of those who remember it (especially before the POS "Director's Cut"). Anyway, space + cowboys... Anyone remember Outland? It's "High Noon" in space.
Bears like to slide a slippery slope of optimism. Bulls like to climb a wall of worry. Personally, I only hear about the impending crash, not that I'm buying anything, I'm just saying...
I have to agree with the parent msg, contracting is wonderful.
Get a tax guy like he said. Important note, you have to guestimate taxes quarterly. As long as you guestimate 115% of the taxes you paid last year, there will be no penalty (double-check this, it's been a few years). What this means is that in the first year you can put a butt-load of money into some investment (play it safe, it isn't yours).
A new TC has been formed at OASIS for this very purpose: Open Building Information Exchange.

If anyone gets kicked in the balls over one, then these laptops are gold.

Why does the mass have to come from earth? Wouldn't lifting the equivalent of 20 earth tons of mass from the moon be easier?
Hawaiian shirt day... PAR-TAY!!!
I want to research phones, but all I'm finding is obfuscation. Is there a dpreview for wireless phones out there?
Good point, lets just wait until we have enough proof to convince W.

I landed on a well lubricated bar... and couldn't be happier despite the limp.
Gosh, I can't believe there hasn't been a stargate joke yet. Amazing.

All REST, no SOAP. Bravo!

Dummy, you just supported my statement that these protocols are unusable by enterprise developers.
