We have had enough positive feedback about the sight, our intentions, and the podcast, that we got to thinking about how to take this to a bit more that just a monthly spotlight.
So what we would like to do, is record an additional podcast mid-month, between the spotlights. The goal of this mid-point podcast would be to hear from some of the individuals in the community. Who are the movers and shakers? The serial entrepreneurs? The mentors? Who has their finger on the pulse of the future?
Know some folks we should interview? Have something you want to say?

You might have noticed, that in addition to covering Utah, and technology in Utah, that I tend to chime in on technology, and using it to help out in our community (and our world). Though I know it is a bit far afield from Utah, a friend pointed me toward a really interesting article today about Technology being used in really cool ways to “solve” blindness, and even give “spidey-sense”.
To chime in with what I was told: if you read this article all the way through, and don’t say “holy crap” at least three times, I’ll be surprised.

We want to thank everyone who attended our first Tech Spotlight. The technology that was spotlighted was Mozy by Berkeley Data Systems. I am personally a user of mozy, and loving it. What is it? Well, imagine you could take 30 seconds, download a program, install it on your computer, and it would just run silently in the background from then on, making sure that a secure backup of your files gets stored by Mozy every time you make any changes.
This stuff is just cool. Basically, it takes the folders and files you specify, and replicates any changes. Cooler if than than, it does block level incrementals (copies only the bits that have changed… even from large files like video or databases). It Can handle open or locked files. It is all encrypted. Up to 2 gig for FREE! It even stores 30 days snapshots, so if you accidentally corrupt a file, get a virus, etc. Just pull the version from 30 days ago.
Drop your laptop? Get a virus? Remove files you didn’t mean to? No sweat.
If I don’t sound entirely objective about this product, forgive me. But after running it a few days, the peace of mind was so awesome I logged on and bought it.Â
Want to know more?  Check out the podcast, or subscribe to the podcast with 30 minutes of Q & A with the folks that make Mozy happen.
Have questions or comment? Chime in here and Mozy will be happy to respond.
Thanks again to all who attended, and to Josh Coates for such a great presentation. We will have pictures up within the next day or two as well.Â
