Just got a call about doing a one-hour consulting call for a company that wants to know more about MSPs/IT Outsourcers, how they work, what they offer, as well as public versus private cloud. Consulting rate was $117/hour! I know for many people that's low but that's pretty good for me!
Rockin'!

I'm going to make sure they understand the difference between an MSP and an IT Outsourcer to begin with.

Make sure that they know that people misuse the terms all of the time. It's not important knowing the terms but knowing the concepts.

Yup, I know. One has a specific set of services they offer and that's what they do. The other is more the one-stop shop.

@thanksajdotcom Sweet! If you need to get out of ATL for a day, let me know. I'm a couple hours south of you... as is @RojoLoco too, I think.
Wait, where are you? Also, I have no wheels of my own. Is that a problem? Otherwise, gladly!
I work in Alpharetta (north of ATL) and I live out in Gwinnett (East of ATL). Both spots are within 30-40 min of downtown. What part of town are you in?
I'm going to be in Decatur.
That's not too far from the house.

Definitely. Lots of good places around Decatur, and lots of hipsters too.

I'll be up right smack in the middle of downtown Atlanta tomorrow... I got a cochlear implant done last month... All healed up and now, I get my ears turned on and programmed... (It's actually one ear, but as somebody used to speaking on CB radio, saying ear don't sound right)

Why did you get those done?

So that he can.... hear?

While crazy, I do like the Crazy AJ's idea. It seems to have some legs. A long shot, to be sure. But an interesting one.

@thanksajdotcom I'm pretty much completely deaf. (My hearing has been vanishing since I was ~12 years old. The last 4 or 5 years, the rate of vanishing has been rapidly increasing.
Hearing aids don't help because of the type of hearing loss I have (hearing aids just pump more volume in)... The short version is that everybody's ears have little hairs inside them. Sound vibrates the little hairs. Well, instead of my hairs being like pine needles and swaying in the wind, they are like 2 x 4's that simply don't bend enough to generate the sound.
The cochlear implant fixes this by attaching directly to the cochlea and pumping the sound straight to my brain (much like a microphone jack, lol).
I'll wear a device that looks a bit like a hearing aid, but it transmits through the skin in my scalp where they put the implant.
