Remnants of Hurricane Ike came through on Sunday and knocked out our power. At one time 90% in Cincinnati were without power. Took 3 days for our power to get restored. Another 200K are still waiting. Please pray for the folks living along the Gulf coast who were affected by the hurricanes.

High-level Planning Meetings
Posted by Steve Pietrek on September 6, 2008
I had a good day yesterday. Earlier this week I started a project at a new client who is in the beginning stages of rolling out SharePoint. Yesterday, not only did I get my badge (so I won’t have to worry about getting stuck in the security door again), I had the opportunity to sit through a very valuable brainstorming session.
