A big congratulations goes out to Sarah who has landed a new tech job! She’s one of the top level network administrators for a research company that has offices in more than a dozen companies. Sarah has really impresses me, I remember when she was talking about going to school to learn tech stuff, I had not thought she would go through with it.

But she has – she’ applied herself, done tons of homework and is continuing with school even though she has landed a top notch job already – good for you Sarah!

One of my new accounts has their headquarters in new Jersey. I have only been there once, and it was only for a day, so I don’t know much about the state and what it is like, I always think of the Sopranos and new style accents when I think of Jersey, but from the phone conversations I’ve had with the tech department at this new company, it seems that the people are polite and everything.

I love to travel and enjoy hotels with a passion, if my digital camera wasn’t being borrowed by the girlfriend then I would certainly see if I could get enough time to get some pictures of places that have been featured in some of my favorite shows, but we’ll see, maybe I’ll get a new camera when I’m up there. I’ll be back in town in 6 days, and I’ll keep you posted.

Girlfriend wants the beach, we’ve never been to Mexico, and with the price of the dollar and gas and such, Cancun is the obvious choice this year. So we are heading down to Cancun for 9 days, I will still be online everyday, but I have promised to be offline for at least 8 hours everyday. I think that is a fair trade, I may take the time to spend a couple of days offline – we’ll see how much online drama can be avoided and see if I can actually enjoy a vacation without work for once.

Of course once we started planning this we have had friends suggest that perhaps we should consider a biking tour vacation. Maybe, maybe next year.

This is in my bookmarks, because the words and ideas that are saved here in the transcripts at CNN or incredible. The power of these thoughts from Deepak Chopra should be shared with the world and generations to come.

an excerpt:

CHOPRA: Well, you know, in Eastern traditions, which are now people are becoming familiar with them, the body is seen as a field of energy and information. And it also metabolizes the experience of time.

So let’s say your internal clock is fast. You know, you say, I’m running out of time all the time. And that’s what you say to yourself all the time. So you’re looking at the same watch that everybody’s seeing, but it’s moving much faster.

Well, you’ll have faster heart rate, higher number of jittery platelets with adrenaline and high blood pressure. And if a person like that constantly says I’m running out of time, then one day they’re going to have a cardiovascular accident. And they will run out of time.

GUPTA: They’ll have a heart attack.

CHOPRA: Yes, a heart attack. And they’ll run out of time.

On the other hand, if you say I have all the time in the world, and then when you are intoxicated with love, then time stops for you, that actually influences your biological clock. So you have to reinterpret your life experiences. How do I relate to the experience of time? How do I relate to this body? Do I see it as a field of energy? Can I activate that energy field through yogic practices, reading, (INAUDIBLE)? There are many mind-body techniques.

There is much to be said about business 2.0 – but I am just going to point out to my fellow bloggers that business 2.0 has seriously evolved lately. It amazes me how quick and easy it is to get a few people in a chat room and on web cam in an impromptu meeting. Business is definitely moving faster today than it was just 5 years ago.

I have found that using collaboration tools like google docs and skype, we have saved a ton of time and a bunch of money that would have been spent on traveling and xeroxing. I can’t wait to get holographic meetings like you see in star wars, supposedly this is kind of what second life is like – with 3d avatars instead of holographic images.
