• Predictions for 2010

  It is the last day of 2009 and as we all know for most of us living on this planet 2009 wasn’t the best year. We had concerns over our jobs, wars, families, and other issues. Over the years I have made predictions or sworn them off based on how accurate... Posted Dec 31 2009, 06:04 PM by Scott Golightly's Blog Filed under: Personal

• Save a Tree – Stop Spam

  Happy Earth Day 2009. I don’t consider myself an “environmental activist” but I do love being outdoors and try to take care of the environment by recycling and purchasing renewable energy. Now I have a new way of helping the environment – fighting spam... Posted Apr 22 2009, 05:01 PM by Scott Golightly's Blog Filed under: Personal

• Bill Gates' Last Day

  There has been a lot of press coverage about Bill Gates leaving his day-to-day activities at Microsoft to focus on philanthropy. As I have been reading them I have been thinking about what it will mean for Microsoft. I have seen several companies where...

• How Would You Answer This Question?

  This is a little off of the typical content for my blog but when I saw this I thought I just have to share (and besides its Friday so you deserve a little break). I got an e-mail asking me to take a survey. It was a web based survey from a company I know... Posted May 16 2008, 11:31 AM by Scott Golightly's Blog Filed under: Personal

• Internet Explorer Gains Market Share

  According to ComputerWorld IE gained a small market share in April. It is the first gain for IE since October and comes after Apple attempted to push Safari out via automatic updates. I didn't do that well in statistics but the numbers seemed relatively... Posted May 06 2008, 02:48 PM by Scott Golightly's Blog Filed under: Personal

• It Ain't Easy Being Green

  I predicted earlier that one of the big trends this year would be "green". I have seen it a lot more lately. Last night as I was waiting for dinner I was flipping through a Wired magazine and saw a few ads from IBM on how they can make the data...

• What were we thinking?

  The other day I was shredding some papers from the early 90's. I was shocked to find a letter from my bank (I don't use that bank any more and the more I think about it I think it was a good idea to switch). In the letter, the bank had just sent...

  First of all let me say Happy 2008 to everyone out there. It seems hard to believe that another year has come and gone.

• It's a Small, Small World

  Last night while watching the news I saw a report of an earthquake in New Zealand. I immediately thought of all of the people that I have shared e-mails with and the few that I have met from New Zealand. It got me to thinking about how much smaller the...

• What Might Have Been

  Looking at the calendar I realize that had I not left Keane 5 weeks ago I would be celebrating my 15th anniversary with the company today. Looking back over the last 5 weeks I have learned a lot and had a chance to work on projects that I think will prove... Posted Sep 21 2007, 08:14 AM by Scott Golightly's Blog Filed under: Personal

• Moving on to a new job

  I have been dying to post this announcement here but I thought I would send out personal e-mails to all the people I worked with and let them know before they heard it here. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a bigger task than I thought and I haven't... Posted Aug 14 2007, 09:44 PM by Scott Golightly's Blog Filed under: Personal
