Me + Blender = Water Conference Video

This seems like good Friday blog post material. I thought I would share the opening of the South Carolina Environmental conference video I worked on last year. Yes, that is me with a blender. Yes, the blender still works. No, I did not throw up.Check it out here.

This year to help market the conference we created a series video ads to parody those UPS Whiteboard ads. We started to release some of the ads this week. Here is one of them. And no, that is not me in the wig.

If you are interested in attending the conference, its only 16 days aways. Here is the flyer.

First Glimpse of the new Apple Data Center in NC

Its really there.

Apple has started building a new 500,000-square feet data center in Maiden, North Carolina with construction to be completed by late 2010. The data center reportedly will use about 20 megawatts annually – enough to power 16,000 homes. Here is the first glimpse from the air:



The new Apple facility will be the company’s East Coast operations center and would according to some take advantage of the 3 hour time change on the East Coast to facilitate communications between European operations/sales and California for data transmission.

This data center is estimated to cost over a billion dollars which is double the cost that Google is investing in a large data center in Lenoir, NC, 28 miles to the north.
