Cost of storage

I'm trying to put together a roadmap for our Enterprise Storage group, and part of it is trying to show the expected cost of storage over time for different scenarios. Unfortunately I'm having a terrible time trying to gather information on the price of enterprise class storage, and how it has changed over the years. It is obviously getting cheaper as time goes on, but how much? Historically we only buy storage every 3-4 years, so I have a grand total of 2 data points to run with. Not too helpful...

Mayoral Elections in Calgary

I've often thought that I should get involved in politics, as I'm never satisfied with how things are run. Municipal government is especially disappointing for me, likely because the "results" are so pathetically visible. Unfortunately for everyone, I'm far too lazy to commit to the effort and time required for a successful campaign, not to mention the ongoing workload!

Fortunately for me, I think I've found a candidate who has some uncommon sense, good ideas and a firm grasp on reality. Sandy Jenkins has my vote, and I hope that you will read his site if you live in Calgary - and then get out and vote!

Gatorland

I just learned from Fark that Gatorland is rebuilding after a fire. I never heard about the fire when it happened, but I'm pleased to here it is being rebuilt. It was a little cheesy, but I loved going to Gatorland. My son and I got a picture taken with a little caiman and a snake when he was 3, and it is one of my favorites. I'm looking forward to returning someday and getting one with my daughter too.
