I have to admit that I have a lifelong obsession with taking notes - and then forgetting to go back and review them for long periods of time. Sometimes when I look back at my notes, their significance eludes me. Sometimes there is some value to be gleaned from my notes.

Virtualization is just a feature set.
Mobility changes everything (with reference to the power of virtualization)
SOA: consumption happens in ways you didn't anticipate.

In 2012, 1 gigabyte will cost $1.
IT headaches are unmanaged pcs, data leakage, disaster recovery, and security vulnerabilities - unless you can separate the system data from the user data.
Virtualization is a quality of life tool: you can do fixes, patches, upgrades, etc. during business hours. It is an insurance policy for IT staff.
It takes twice as
much energy to manufacture a computer as it will use in its lifetime.
HAVE A GREEN DAY!
