Well, I’m 7 months pregnant wid my first child at the age of 26. I am so excited about this baby an feel like this is the best blessing God has ever given me. I’ve been through alot of rough times in my life an jus consider myself lucky to have the best friends an family. I love my moms to no end an she is my best friend along wid my big sis…I will say this…the baby I’m carryin is mixed an gonna be half black an ALOT of people have had alot to say about it…to all you hataz…*F*U* My baby is gonna be loved NO MATTER WHAT by my TRU family an friends. IT’S A BOY!!! GONNA NAME HIM MALAKAI KIER….still unsure about the middle name, Malakai is a sure thing tho!!!!!

who i’d like to meet:

FYI: I DO NOT DATE WHITE GUYS AT ALL…NO EXCEPTIONS! To be honest wid you, I’m not really studyin bein wid somebody right now. I’m jus concentratin on my baby. It would be nice to meet an attractive guy…somebody to kick it wid that it wasn’t all about sex all the time. Whatever happened to jus chillin an talkin to someone about real shit on a personal level? You know…real dates? Movies, out to eat, shit like that?

Further inspection of her blog reveals that she has a very small support base. Her mother and sister will be the only people present at the birth of her son, because “no one else cares.” Sad.

Naturally, I had heard of Salesforce some time ago and didn’t really look into it. As a military Communications Officer, the scope of what was important to me was very defined and anything outside of it, I had a tendency to disregard. But after witnessing the number of broken methodologies used to manage Customer Relationship cycles in the Air Force (especially the tracking of Performance Reports and Decorations, Help Desk operations and Remedy in particular), it was time I investigated.

As I went further down the rabbit hole, I came across Simon Wardley, over at his blog where he was discussing the “Commoditisation of IT.” I invite you to check out his video at the end of his post. Besides being funny, Simon’s theories are profound and highlight the necessity of open standards.

His speech got me thinking about the future of the US Air Force’s networks, which are now conglomerated across the major commands (Air Mobility Command, Air Combat Command, Air Force Material Command, US Air Forces Europe, etc.). This conglomeration was the result of the pooling of assets by Air Force Network Operation Security Centers (NOSCs). Life cycle costs for hardware were too much to bare as infrastructure improvements allowed for higher bandwidth to be transmitted across the country, CPU processing power increased and storage got cheaper and cheaper. Generals realized that the benefits of ubiquitous hardware were marginal. And while hardware for services, particularly email, were moved to centralized locations, remedy databases continued to be locally administered and many other services have not changed.

Air Force CTOs have gotten wiser and are identifying the costs for maintaining antiquated (and data isolated) software. As I have witnessed the hardware for desktops contract back into server rooms, and the deployment, albeit extremely late, of Sharepoint Portal and the implementation of collaborative workspaces, I believe in the next 10 years, the Air Force will also see the tools for management methodologies become more standardized and ubiquitous.

And remember folks, save your turbo for special moments. To really drive the comedic nail into the coffin.

The real reason I went north was to find Bubb Rubb. Tomorrow I will publish the details of that quest. In the meantime, learn about who he is by watching this video and its related content.
