A little break from the norm today to wish all of you a happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.
I know this has been a tough year for many, yours truly included, but there are also so many positive things that I can cite that make this a year of challenge, growth and eager anticipation for the coming year of 2010.
My family is continually blessed in ways I can never fully contemplate. Let me just share a few:
I wish you and yours the best in this season. The Lord will never provide you wish a hardship that He cannot help you overcome. Pray for his strength and grace daily!

The 10 Questions You Should Never Stop Asking – Forbes.com.
I highly recommend this great article about fundamental questions every business owner or business leader should always be asking.
We sometimes get caught up in such minutia and we overlook the obvious. I highly encourage you to look these over, both now and on a regular basis.
VW overtakes Toyota as world’s largest automaker.
I first heard this news at an event in Murfreesboro, TN on Monday and it took me a little by surprise. EVERYONE knows that Toyota overtook GM in the not so recent past, but NO ONE knows that VW has surpassed Toyota during the first 9 months of 2009, selling 4.4 million vehicles worldwide to Toyota’s 4.0 million.
This really bodes well for VW as they agressively promote their Audi brand and move quickly along toward the opening of their production facility in Chattanooga, TN.
Congrats!
Some great advice from Mrinal Desai about how he “screens news” in order to stay current.
I like many of his ideas and I think you can learn some great tips about how to learn more in less time.

HPCwire: ORNL-Led Team Takes Prize for World’s Top Science App.
Congratulations to the Oak Ridge group that achieved 1.84 thousand trillions calculations per second (petaflops).
This application was achieved on one of the Cray supercomputers housed on the ORNL campus in East Tennessee. Part of the improvement that led to this achievement was a recent upgrade from 4 to 6 processors.
Starbucks boosts social media activity during Thanksgiving – Brand Republic News – Brand Republic.
Not a big surprise here. Startbucks will use each of these networks in a unique way.
I really like their idea of having people upload photos while drinking a Starbucks product. The ultimate Affinity gathering spot.
You will see more of this kind of approach from Starbucks and others.
I like to talk with others about the impact of Technology on their world and their work.
