Jen and I went to the Funeral Procession for Ted Kennedy yesterday. We were located at the exit of the U.S Capitol where the motorcade exited after stopping at the Senate steps.

Zune HD, Will you Buy One?
The Zune HD is a pretty neat little device from Microsoft. Pricing and Storage sizes have not yet been announced but check out the video to see the amazing OLED screen and the new interface. It looks promising but will probably be priced out of my realm.
Recovery.gov | SharePoint, Blogging, and Photo Uploads!
This will never happen with recovery.gov but it’s in the second contract modification document from Smartronix.
Synteractive is a strategy and business solutions consulting firm specializing in
leveraging the power of information to radically improve the efficiency and effectiveness
of complex organizations. Synteractive has a proven record of using Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server (MOSS) technology to aid in business transformation efforts of both
federal government agencies and private companies. They will leverage their unrivaled
expertise in Web 2.0 technology implementation to transform Recovery.gov from a mere
information dissemination website into an interactive platform where Americans can
swap stories about stimulus projects in their areas, upload pictures illustrating the
effects of the projects, blog about their experiences, and ultimately engaged as a
meaningful member of the Recovery community.
First off, why build a transparent application in Sharepoint! Secondly, have you seen any government sites that allow users to blog and upload pictures? Can’t wait to see this in action!
Oh yeah, hopefully Smartronix isn’t letting Syneractive design the website, it looks really bad!
Contract Documents for Recovery.gov can be found at http://www.recovery.gov/?q=node/765 <– where are the pretty urls?

Zend_Db Firebug Profiler via .ini File
So a couple of days ago I posted a way to get the DB profiler working via your bootstrap but an easier way to get things working is via your configuration .ini file.
Once again you need Firefox, FireBug, and FirePHP. Then in your .ini file add the following lines;
resources.db.isdefaulttableadapter = true resources.db.params.profiler.enabled = true resources.db.params.profiler.class = Zend_Db_Profiler_Firebug
The best part about this is that you can add this code only to load based on the environment set in your .htaccess or index.php file in your public folder.
