Yesterday at Lehigh University we hosted a group of 30 IT professionals to learn about some of the latest technologies around green IT and virtualization. Following the presentations we lunched on Italian steak, chicken romano, and cappuccino cake while attendees had the opportunity to network with one another along with representatives from Contour, EMC, VMware, and newly acquired EMC partner Data Domain.

Following the lunch we made our way down into the scorching sun where we watched the special teams practice. The most exciting part of the practice was watching second-year man Desean Jackson returning kicks. You have no idea how fast these guys are until you see them in person. The temperature was 93 degrees and after several hours of direct sunlight most of the guests retired to their cars for the trip back home.

Upcoming on the 20th is the Recoverpoint event at the Camden Rivershark game. I have heard that the Camden ball park is one of the nicest in minor league baseball due to it’s sprawling view of the Philadelphia skyline.
