What do you mean, LEAVE the Apple Store?!

Took My Kid To Work

Almost forgot to take a picture of us together! I got this as we were leaving and I’m impressed with myself with how good it came out. First shot, self-portrait!

Hey, I Work For That Guy

This weeks Forbes cover story is all about the company I work for and our CEO, Neal Patterson. Nifty. (I’m not sure how long that link will work.)

I’ve been with Cerner for nearly 20 years (even through the infamous parking lot memo talked about in the article) and I love it. I feel that we’re working on things that are actually useful for humanity, and that’s refreshing.

Towards the end of the article you’ll see this:

A new type of patient record is quickly and automatically searchable, even if the data go back decades.

That’s a reference to something that started with the little 5-person team I work on.

Pony Express Museum

From the outside the museum doesn’t look like much. Inside it’s a pleasant surprise.

You start with a somewhat long and cheesy video, and then walk by a full-size diorama of the first rider taking off and wonder if that’s about it for the museum. But then you get into the museum proper and it’s quite nice. It’s not immense, but it’s much bigger than it looks when you first arrive, and it’s nicely lit and clean. The displays are all interesting and well done.

If you’re driving through St. Joseph it’s worth a stop. Heck, we’ll probably take the kids up sometime just for this since there’s a really nice play area, and we live less than an hour away. It’ll be a nice day trip. Something different to entertain the kids with.
