Slideshow: Test Drive of Volvo’s New 2010 XC60
During a casual walk around Denver, I decided to visit Rickenbaugh Volvo to get another peek at this advanced, safe, and attractive SUV/crossover. I had a great, informative chat with Robert Koprowski, an extremely nice salesman who then offered a test drive of the vehicle.
What can I say? I’m looking forward to purchasing the XC60 in 2009. Here are photos from the test drive:
“Stick it to The Man” available June 23 for Amazon Kindle

Amazon EC2: 366 Days of Uptime on Ubuntu Linux. No Reboots or Crashes!
I’m proud to announce the conclusion of a risky, year-long assessment of Amazon EC2. As a technology professional and early adopter since the late 80s, I’ve always had a penchant for living on the cutting edge of technology. Cloud computing is no exception. Nearing my two year anniversary as an Amazon Web Services customer, I am pleased with Amazon’s cloud experience. It’s solid, reliable, and extremely flexible. I’ve launched and configured dozens of servers for personal and client projects ranging from databases to VoIP applications. I’ve never experienced a single failure.
So, why was this experiment risky? Until a few months ago, Amazon lacked a permanent storage solution to maintain data in the event a server crashes. Sure, I maintained backups, but I still ran the risk of losing important data. It’s a risk I was ready to take and I’m happy to report that my experiment with cloud computing was successful.
I hope my experience will encourage others to adopt cloud computing for their own projects. If you’re considering Amazon Web Services, I’d be happy to assist you. Just contact me.
