Software on a Plattner

Software on a Plattner
The Tech Chronicles
Dan Fost posts about SAP’s main man Hasso Plattner and Web 2.0.

“Plattner seemed at times to be delivering more of an academic lecture, using slides with notes and drawings hand-written in white on a black background, like a chalkboard. But the subject was anything but academic. Plattner gave real world examples of how SAP is responding to changes sweeping the software industry. ”

Dinner at the NASCAR cafe

Turbo Todd Watson is in his 15th year with IBM. He began his career working on two software magazines, for which he wrote on a variety of business technology topics before joining IBM’s Internet division in 1995.

“Twitter’s still on the Bob Metcalfe Network Effect Growth Curve from…well, you know where. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I kicked it old school for my last night in Viva Las Vegas, walking down to the Sahara at the far end of the Strip to dine scrumptiously at the NASCAR Cafe. I was going to hold out for the Daytona Chili Burger (unleaded), but opted for the St. Louis Ribs instead, dining all the while gazing out at Carzilla, the world’s largest stock car, weighing in at more than three tons and measuring 34 feet long and 12 feet wide. As I contemplated driving around an oval track for one’s livelihood, I couldn’t help but wonder if the bartender ever worries about Carzilla slipping in that last turn towards the bar and dropping on him like a lead balloon. Anyhoo, if you ever need any NASCAR merchandise of any kind, the NASCAR store next door should be able to help you out (I had to contain myself to keep from buying my very own Dale Earnhardt, Jr. mouse pad.) I somehow restrained myself.”
