It wasn't just Strictly Business at Caprice Bistro last night, it was a lot of fun. The group upstairs at the popular downtown establishment was elbow-to-elbow and notably energetic. The Big Talker FM weekly business networking event at various area restaurants keeps getting better - and better in this case means that people are finding the Strictly Business events an excellent place to make new business...

Coding After Hours. I started this Everyman late tonight because I was doing some Gummy Bear coding, but the older I get the less I want to hammer away all day in Visual Studio then code some more after hours. I guess that’s why I blog so much at night. It’s still geeky but it’s not coding. Ted Dziuba posted I Don’t Code in my Free Time espousing a similar theme, though in...

[Quick power poll. My run of ridiculously busy days isn't quite over.] Two more Sierra Nevada stages. Two stages around Avila. 30km against the watch in Toledo. That's what's left to decide the 2009 Vuelta, and as you can see from the current GC, absolutely nothing has been decided yet. Here are the top eight and a case for and against their making the final podium: 1. Alejandro Valverde +0.00 Where...

Despite...

Mark Evans submits: I can appreciate that shmoozing customers is part of doing business so there’s some method to the madness that Nortel (NRTLQ.PK) rented two luxury suites at Dallas Cowboys’ football games last year. Of course, this was from ideal given that Nortel was focused on cutting costs before filing for bankruptcy protection in January. So, you can appreciate the interest in...

Mark Evans submits: There’s no doubt that Mike Zafirovski has disappointed many people since he became Nortel’s (NT) CEO in 2005. His performance, highlighted by Nortel’s bankruptcy protection filing, has prompted a lot of people to call for his dismissal. It’s a natural reaction given Nortel’s situation but the question is whether it’s possible to replace him at...

Welcome to everyone from the Square Eyes blog post over at The Stage: [Scott Matthewman’s] personal favourite at the moment (unsurprisingly for a Stage employee, perhaps) is musical theatre performer Mark Evans, with Jade a close second. Otherwise, though, I find it a little hard to muster much enthusiasm. Eurovision expert Ewan Spence has been liveblogging [...]

Mark Evans submits: Mike Zafirovski has now been Nortel’s (NT) CEO for three years.
