On May 15th, 2008 – Carl Icahn stepped up to the plate and officially announced his bid to proxy Yahoo so he could work with Microsoft on getting a deal out.  A couple days prior, Eric Jackson decided to pull his bid for proxy and the rumor started to fly that Carl Icahn was going to take over the fight.

Of course we saw how that went – Icahn got a seat on the Yahoo board, and Yahoo stayed with Yahoo.

Other items of note – ZDTV starts, HP and EDS acquisition and the Ethernet Standard is formed. Of course there is a lot more in the podcast.

This weekend has been a whirlwind. I’ve been working on some new items and I went out of town yesterday. I also had to figure out what I am going to do this week. Tomorrow I have to report to Jury Duty. I may be out for 4 hours, I may be out for 4 days. God forbid I may be out for 4 weeks.

While I don’t think it will be the extreme latter, I have to make preparations if I am out for more than a couple days. That means the Podcast may not happen on Wed. Therefore to suppliment, I am planning a mini-podcast for Monday. Add to that the Quickcast. That means a lot of work on a Sunday.

Not that I mind. I enjoy doing this WAY too much.

FAWM is almost complete. I’m at 13 songs and the 14th is a collaboration with Madison favorite – Beth Kille. We went back and forth on this song, but I think we came out with something that people can remember. If there is time, I will sit down and make a 15th song.

Tuesday is Mardi Gras. Wednesday is the beginning of LENT. While I am not as religious, I still try to make one life changing 40 – day challenge. I did not plan to do one for this year because I gave up a couple things this last year. I also wanted to focus on the site. Maybe my 40 days will be dedicated to the portal redesign. We’ll see what happens.

That’s all for now. 2 Podcasts coming tonight. Else, I’ll see you on the other side.

Well, I finally scraped up my quarters and nickels to get the plane ticket and Hotel reservations for VEGAS BABY!! This will be my first ever trip to Vegas. It’s a little nerve racking, but also extremely exciting.

I will be staying at the Monte Carlo. I am arriving at 11 AM PST on January 6th 2009. Will be there until 6:30 AM on January 12th. Hopefully there will be no snow in Vegas.

This will be an Awesome week with Todd Cochrane and Andy McCaskey. We will be running Back Channel, High def content and a lot more on the TechPodcasts Channel. In addition I will be pushing out photos and Blogs throughout the weekend.
