Confessions of a Novice Webmaster

by Terry Gardiner

As a novice Webmaster I’ll go out on a limb here and say: “I love Microsoft”! This company has given me software that has made my computing life a pleasure. I don’t use their browser but everything else that Windows 95 has to offer, has made my internet experience high caliber. Making a very complicated tool work easily for the masses has enabled most John Doe types to access, download and unzip software, that can enhance writing and graphic ability which can parallel the work of top professionals. Brainstorming ideas and content for the website was hard enough for me and without the exciting website software that is available today I could have never been successful at the Webguardian website final product.

From Turf to the "Murph" Super Bowl XXXII

by Greg Schaffer

There was 17 weeks of battles fought in the trenches of synthetic turf and moistened, mud soaked, natural, grass. Graven warriors in mud clad uniforms proudly displayed their athletic prowess for hometown fans. There’s been swearing, growling, bone crunching, and spitting. Broken bones, ruptured tendons and MRIs captured the Monday morning eyes of curious fans as they briskly search the columns of their local sports page.

The Great Potato Barnstorm

by Hal Janneck

Flying, flying and controlling an airplane, have been part of my consciousness since what seems to be the very dawn of my memory. One of my earliest readings included a story that I still remember. It was one in which the hero was a farm boy who constructed a two-engine model airplane, powered by twisted rubber bands, and launched it from the top of the silo on his farm. In those years, I don’t think that the tiny engines that power the more sophisticated model airplanes of today had been perfected. But this lad made an airplane, with sticks of balsa wood, glue, paper, and rubber band “engines,” and it flew.

A Document Engineering Knowledge Paper

by Kirk Puterbaugh & Stephen Lankton

It appears that business today is more complex than ever before. People in the work place are interacting and conveying information at a pace never before imaginable. However, the most valuable product that your company owns is still the same as it has always been: It is knowledge.

The knowledge contained inside your company is how to manage, make, build, invest, market, evaluate, and grow. Yet, the tools for managing that knowledge are usually unexamined and unused.

What a Difference a Day Makes

by Greg Schaffer

How do you turn from the Goat of the NBA to a Star in a matter of 24 hours? How can 1,440 minutes alter sports talk radio conversations from a stab at your very core to praises in your behalf? Ask the Utah Jazz!

Blowout Win?
On Tuesday night, February 3rd, the 30-14 Utah Jazz went to The Pond in Anaheim, California to face the 10-37 LA Clippers. Many people saw this as another blowout win for the surging Jazz. How wrong they were! Reserve guard James Robinson lit-up the Jazz with a season-high 25 points, which included 5-9 from “3 point land,” to lead the Clippers to a 111-102 victory. This win helped stop the Clippers 8 game losing streak. The Jazz were able to hold the lead once, early in the first quarter, 20-19. It only lasted for 39 seconds. From that point on the Clippers never looked back. In the third quarter they lead by as many as 21 points. The Jazz were able to cut the lead to 4 points early in the fourth but never threatened again.
