For those of you thinking of buying some network gear, you may want to take advantage of Amazon.com’s mainland U.S. free shipping over for orders over $99 (read restrictions). Yes, there are lots of provisos, so read the list carefully. Amazon.com’s prices are competitive or better for all of the cheap home gateways that they offer; I just updated that page to include links to Outpost.com and Amazon.com for items that either or both store sell directly.
Not sure why I was browsing through some old photographs earlier tonight – but while doing so I came across this shot of me in the White House Briefing Room on April 12, 2001. We were there thanks to my Glenbrook co-founder Allen Weinberg’s connections with a senior White House correspondent while we were in Washington with our first -ever- client.
Those were the days before 9/11 – and we came into the White House late in the afternoon for an escorted look around. It was amazing. I almost walked into the Oval Office with my camera – before being politely shoo’d away back down the hallway. I’m sure things are very different now.
It’s fun to remember that time – a much more innocent and open time it was. Me in my short sleeve shirt standing in the White House Briefing Room.
Who would have thought?
