Maybe "User Prods" (think Cattle Prods)

iProds ??!? Sounds devilishly exciting!

I really like the idea of a "forced" mingle. Being generally introverted and totally okay doing my own thing lends itself not to get involved.

During SW I constantly forced myself to be around people "in the know" and was able then to feel like less an outsider, making this a core part of the events going on (social gatherings) would make it even easier for those of us who don't do as well forcing ourselves to interact.

Call me simple minded, but I prefer good bottle/can koozies!

How many of those can you need? I know very few people who use them and no one that isn't flush with them, drawers full of them. It's a great idea for people in hot locations but being from the north they aren't used there in any quantity and in the south people just throw them out left and right. That's my experience, anyway.

I must be a rare bird then. It is not uncommon for us to have 20 - 30 people over for a movie night, game party, or what have you once or twice a month. Every drink has a koozie on it including soda. I used to collect lanyards but my wife thinks the koozies are more practical.

Call me simple minded, but I prefer good bottle/can koozies!

As someone mentioned in one of the other threads -- PowerShell... I've written a few scripts for managing an RDS Deployment... It's crazy all the things you can do with PowerShell...

I agree, I think anything PowerShell would be a great value.

Wow, I just looked from Minneapolis to Nicaragua for that time frame on United and came up with $250.

This makes me sad because the three tickets I just picked up for Orlando were $650 each.

Why does airfare have to be so crazy?

To keep on topic, I would travel outside the US for a good conference.

Just posting to say "Hi!"

I realized I had been a member for 30 minutes and not posted, knowing myself if I didn't do it now I never would.

Thanks to @scottalanmiller for talking to me at Spiceworld 2015 and telling me about this site, I already see it will be a great asset for business and pleasure.

Cheers!
