The date was Friday the 13th and I would like to say it was a dark and stormy night, but the truth was it was a bright and sunny afternoon. We actually had to close the blinds in our South Florida offices because the sun was producing too much glare on our monitors.

The event was a huge success and saw our team working together for a common goal. So much so that exactly one week after we all got together again, off-hours, to complete the next level together.

With the current crop of new Mac Books that is saturating the market these days, much can be said about the innovative and inspirational design that has gone into their hardware. Apple has always been known for their award winning design. And they always seem to be the trend setter with many other manufacturers following in Apple's footsteps.

However the latest crop of keyboards which they have been using in the Mac Books really makes me wish that others won't follow (do you hear me Sony?).

Is this really innovative design? 

Or is Apple really not the trend setter that everyone thinks they are?

Maybe the true style masters were at Radio Shack back in the 1980's...

Planning a team building event in today's uncertain economy can surely be a challenge. Aside from the cost of the event you must also consider the cost of lost time (which is so crucial with the overall economy slowing more each day). However, the optimist in my sees this as the most opportune time to have our first ever "Virtual Team Building" event. When would be a better time to enjoy work, your co-workers and life in general? In 3 months when the economy slows even more and we are all overflowing with media depression? Or in 9 months when everything picks up and we are so busy we don't have time to take a break?

I say there is no better time than the present and we have set out to make it happen.

Seeing as one of our team works remotely, its not economical to all get together in one physical location. So we have opted for a virtual event. This Friday happens to be Friday the 13th (again, since we just had one in February) and since we all made it through unscathed last month, why not use it to our advantage now.

Our theme is set and our plan is in place. We still have to work out some of the technical details but hopefully will confirm everything tomorrow!
