Billboard top 10

Dear Members and Constituents,
I think you've all seen the billboard which sits twelve feet or so from my office (yes the one where the Friday Donut Club has placed an unauthorized announcement). As I understand it, the intent of the billboard is to promote a fun workplace by providing product information (Come again?). While challenging, I think the concept can be made to work. In order to do my small part, I am proposing....

...the top 10 things that could go on the new billboard:

10. Collocation, location, location: Advice for a challenging market from Level 3's real estate experts
9. Keeping our revenue stream Regular with dark fiber
8. The wacky wireless weekly: From technology to devices, this segment has a lot to talk about, I'm sure some fun facts can be found
7. Long-haul long shots: Unlikely events in the long haul transport network and how they were handled
6. CNS-CNS : Core Network Services-Curious and Novel Snippets
5. Vox populi: Wholesale voice services speaking to the people for the people
4. Cable guy! Featuring a new quote from Larry every week
3. Functional focus: We would not be a "highly matrixed organization" if we did not have at least three dimensions on which to create our matrix. This section would make sure IT, finance, marketing, architecture, engineering, operations, legal, regulatory, HR... etc. don't get forgotten
2. I think, given Metro's ability to find new and creative venues, they might do well to steer clear of a stodgy old billboard. They don't want to jeopardize the street cred they got by posting announcements in places like the ladies' restroom (and you were beginning to think we were going to omit Metro --of course we all know this top ten list could not be complete without it)
1. The Friday Donut Club announcement of the week. Why not? Sure Donuts are not a product or segment, however...

Regardless of whether these suggestions get implemented, one thing is for sure: Jeff Martin has brought four dozen LaMar's donuts and they are ready and awaiting consumption. So, count your blessings, and stop counting the seconds until donuts arrive, for they are here!
Happy Friday!

Donut Doodle Dandy

Dear Members and Constituents, In trying to figure-out Wednesday’s cool-looking Google Doodle ( Jorge Luis Borges’ 112 th birthday ), I stumbled across a list of Google Doodles you’ll never see. This, and a Rockies game later that day, were sufficient inspiration to get my head spinning around what other doodles Google might never noodle? I’m sure you’ll probably have a few ideas of your own, but I was able to come-up with a couple. How about a former Colorado Rockies player whose unfortunate encounter with a moth put him in the news this week? The Matt Holliday doodle might look something like this… Another item which, surprisingly enough, has not been made into a doodle are donuts. Although I was slightly taken aback to find this delicious pastry has not been featured, after the initial disappointment, I decided to take matters into my own hands and take a stab at one (perhaps Google can use it next year for national donut day )… or to celebrate Greek police having “ blown a ho...

Bring your own Geiger counter!

Friends, This week’s news were literally radioactive -and I’m not talking about the fallout from the Trump-Putin summit. I’m talking mutate your DNA-exciting news. I’m talking Marie Curie-worthy news. I’m talking Geiger-counter-tilting news. I’m talking… well, you get the (glow in the dark) picture. A study about a lone wolf collared near Chernobyl and tracked on a long trek spawned the headline “ Could Chernobyl Wolves Be Spreading Mutations? ” While one can be forgiven for envisioning a flying wolf with laser eyes and a green aura about it, the disappointing story basically says most mutations are harmful to an animal’s health -and unhealthy animals are unlikely to travel 250 miles and mate with other wolves, contaminating the gene pool. So, much ado about nothing. The desire to open Rocky Flats (a nuclear weapons facility turned wildlife refuge) to the public has triggered some litigation from an environmentalist group. At st...

Habemus Donuts

Friends, On this first Friday of Leo XIV's papacy, there’s a lot we still don’t know about the new pope. As we learn more, I’m sure there will be many tomes published on the visible head of the 1.4 billion strong Catholic Church. Here are a few possible titles for books and articles to come: From Chicago to Chiclayo: an unexpected journey to Rome Leo is a Virgo, and other fun facts LEO: not just for Low-Earth Orbit anymore How White Sox became part of the papal regalia One Leo, two Leos… the Count counts popes I was going to throw one in there about his favorite foods, but it seems nobody knows. Here’s hoping the first US-born pope loves donuts (that would be a great omen for things to come). If not, Sophie Carrigan's classic, Leo's Lost Donut , would take on a whole new meaning.
