    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

Engaging in Conversation By way of introduction, I am Toby Getsch, a Program Manager and SharePoint MCTS here at J Street.  I’m excited to engage in some conversation and start leveraging blogging and social networking more – all while trying to promote and bring [...]

Simpler and Less Expensive Solutions

As I work with clients and also in my own life, I am often challenged to come up with solutions to various issues.  I think we need to look at things from different perspectives.  Solutions do not need to be overly complex and they don’t have to be expensive.  This TED talk challenges a few [...]

Are we truly free?

I had to pause this video about half way through because I could not stop crying. Kevin Bales: How to combat modern slavery Are we truly free? Facebook Digg Print Email

Content and Discussion and Facebook Wins

Content is created all over the place.  Discussion about content happens on Facebook. Twitter and retweets are nice, but discussion in a closed system among people who care about similar things and can hide certain “friends” makes for a better medium than other places.  It’s actually open communication and open discussion, inside of a closed [...]

Deal with your mistakes, like right now!

Virgin America had a bad flight.  It turned out not to be such a disaster because they (sort of) dealt with it early.  United, on the other hand, well they shat on their own faces by  being dorks about breaking a guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo I kinda like the song.  I’d like it even more if it [...]

Simplicity rules.

This past month I moved across the country, back to the Seattle, Washington area.  I love it here!  And, I’m glad to be back. This trip back was done with everything I own able to fit into my truck with the top carrier.  It was not really that tight of a fit.  That’s mostly because I [...]

an old algorithm and a new risk

Cell Phone Encryption Code Is Divulged “A German computer engineer said Monday that he had deciphered and published the secret code used to encrypt most of the world’s digital mobile phone calls, saying it was his attempt to expose weaknesses in the security of global wireless systems.” …hmmm… More perspective is in the full article.

“…why we find it meaningful to develop technology.”

There are many reasons.  One of the Twitter co-founders writes about one good one.  They listened. Facebook Digg Print Email

information overload

It’s always time to simplify. We need to make information simple. We need to listen and organize and purge. We need to be patient with those around us who adapt at different rates. We need to revisit our approach. I just watched this “Web 2.0″ video again.  It is information overload.  Yet, it also is [...]

A Fun Contest with Many Thanks

And, another feature (video!) gets some press.  WordPress is just kickin’ tush with their features and support!  They’re having a contest to find the best 30 second video about giving thanks and what brings you joy.  Pretty cool, if you ask me. Here’s there video about the contest.  I think this video is pretty cool [...]
