If I were you, there would be an unsolicited proposal heading to Redlands next week.

You’re not truly a career beauracrat until the government policies and directives start making sense…

Though, I wonder if that’s still true. It seems like the latest set of policy updates are a lot more comprehensible than last year’s… ;-)

They should have given him a show after all the hard work he did during the second gulf war.

Always gives me a laugh when he said, there are no American forces in Baghdad and we are getting the stuffings knocked out of us trying to enter. Just as he makes the statement, a M1 rolls by behind him :)

ESRI doesn’t seem to have personal blogs on their site which is much different than how other companies do it.

I’ve also never been able to figure that one out although I’ve seen this with our companies as well (like Autodesk) although ADSK has done a better job at aggregating their bloggers. I think it likely has to do with people’s blogs simply taking off, then the company tries to bring them together under one umbrella.. obviously having a corporate blogging policy in place should be on some company’s agenda. The fact that there’s blogs like those published by David Maguire (http://gismatters.blogspot.com/),
Rob Elkins http://myesri.blogspot.com/, and even the ArcPad Team Blog (http://arcpadteam.blogspot.com/) all hosted on blogger and not referenced on ESRI’s blogs home is really odd.

You have raised the bar with that graphic! I’m laughing as I type.

@Erin: I have been on one of the Manifold UCs and their asking for NDAs is completely warranted. There is a boatload of technical bits being disclosed and a lot of technical issues being openly discussed, many of them concerning future developments and thus pretty sensitive. Having to sign an NDA is a bit unusual but it is no big deal and when you realize that NDA is simply a price to pay to avoid turning the real technical talk into the usual marketing fluff you get pretty much everywhere else (“we are committed to serving our customers and making the Earth a better place,” bla-bla-bla, you know how it goes), you gladly pay it.
