Siemens John Kovach Talks about Data Centers, “The Cloud” and Computer & File Security!
April 26, 2013 | 
Author Think that your life is segmented into private versus online? That what is online stays online and that what you do offline isn’t available to be seen or tracked? Think again. EVERYTHING you do pretty much — financial, talking on the phone, looking up something to compare prices for products at the market- those actions run through data centers. What are data centers and how does it affect you? We have John Kovach, Head of Global Data Centers for Siemens– an expert on what goes through these data centers (AKA The Cloud) as well as how they maintain the security on these centers– which considering today’s world, is pretty critical!
Smashburger Hits So. Calif with a Bang! Founder Tom Ryan Shows Us HOW to Make a Smashburger!
About 2months ago, a friend in No. California asked me during a phone call about Smashburger. I was perplexed– having never heard of it before. While my friend described the place, I was already googling up Smashburger and found 1) that they were an amazing chain of killer burgers with sides to die for as well as burgers that featured a local spin the the location– meaning LA has its’ own burger and the OC or San Francisco has their own as well. #2 I found that the next place to open was in Redondo Beach– a hop, skip and a bit of a jump onto the freeway from me. Wow. KILLER. I got invited to attend the VIP event and actually wanted time to talk to Tom Ryan, founder of the chain so I wound up at the press event (MUCH BETTER IDEA too!) and brought along my good friend and amazing photog/video person, Lisa!
