Reminder

This is a reminder that we are meeting today, April 28th, 2005 at the library cafe at 7pm. See you guys there.

Darin, I sent you the pic that u needed.

This applies to all of us.

THERE IS ALWAYS A SHORTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO GET THE JOB DONE ON TIME WITHOUT EXCUSES OR GRUMBLING.
If you really study those who have reached the top of any organization, you will find that they are the people who cheerfully accept challenges, take the initiative, and get the job done. They don’t complain, and they don’t make excuses. Those who never get anywhere in their jobs and careers can’t seem to understand that achievers don’t become achievers after they reach the top. They reached the top because of the way they conducted themselves along the way. You can easily become one of those individuals who regularly advance in the organization-if you are willing to pay the price. Any good manager will tell you that the type of people who are most in demand are those who can think for themselves, who will take the initiative to do the right thing without being told, and who will stick to the job until it is finished. You can be one of those people if you choose to be.

The endnotes look kind of funky, i'll make them look prettier when I get the chance.

Hay Guys

I know some of us already have a lot of articles on OLED. We need to bring them all to class tommorrow (4/13/05) and put them in a binder. I'm going to look for a few more articles that I find interesting and bring them to class as well. Cheers.

A great chance

Guys: This is very important, and I’ve arranged to bring a few of our outstanding 119B students to this. Please let me know by e-mail or on Wednesday. -Rich

Autonomic computing capabilities are addressing an important obstacle in the IT industry today: complexity. Gartner estimates that 60 to 80 percent of the average company's IT budget is spent on simply maintaining existing applications. Self-managing technologies allow businesses to focus on their core competencies and competitive differentiators, rather than just maintaining existing systems. IBM has hedged its bets on autonomic by making it the cornerstone of on demand computing and today it's moving from vision to reality for many customers. IBM is hosting a panel discussion on April 19 at the IBM San Mateo Innovation Center and would like to invite you to hear from leaders from Stanford University, a local Venture Capitalist firm, Bay-area software companies and an IBM executive on the importance, influence and impact of this technology.
Date: Tuesday, April 19 Time: Breakfast available at 9:30 a.m. Panel discussion from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Location: IBM Innovation Center, 2929 Campus Drive, San Mateo Panelists include: Armando Fox, Assistant Professor, Stanford University Jim Harlow, Co-Founder and CTO, NetFuel Guy Lohman, Research Manager, Autonomic Computing (based IBM Almaden Research Center) Dave Trowbridge, VP Products, Network Physics Ric Telford, Director of Autonomic Computing Architecture and Technology, IBM

GO for it!

Far too many people spend their entire lives waiting for that glorious day when the perfect opportunity presents itself to them. Too late, they realize that each day held opportunity for those who sought it out. If you have not formulated a plan for what you would like to accomplish, don’t waste another minute. When you have clear and definite purpose fueled by a burning desire to reach your objectives, nothing can stand in your way. Don’t wait around waiting for life to happen to you. When you know what you want and how you expect to earn it, life will agree to your terms, not the other way around.
