Mike’s New Blog

DataPig Technologies

Mike Alexander has decided to start his own blog. It’s called Bacon Bits, which fits into the whole Data Pig Technologies theme.Mike promises to add significant new posts every day, and as he says “Don’t worry, it will be great…you’ll love it.”

Mike’s a fellow Microsoft Excel MVP, and the two of us run a three day Excel Dashboard and Visualization Bootcamp a couple times per year, most recently last month in Dallas. We’ll probably do it again in September or October.

Advanced Excel Conference

Bob Umlas and I are hosting an Advanced Excel Conference next week, Wednesday and Thursday, June 17-18.

It’s two days of Excel programming and charting, and despite the late date, it’s not too late to sign up.

Bob’s yet another Microsoft Excel MVP, and he’ll be teaching Intermediate Excel VBA and Excel UserForms. I’ll be covering Advanced Charting and Using Excel with Other Applications (mostly PowerPoint).

Busy June

As anyone with kids knows, June is the busiest month of the year. This year has been particularly busy, with the high school graduation of my middle daughter (technically her graduation was late in May, but it all blurs together).

There’s also the proms, year end concerts and recitals, the sports banquets, the awards nights, finals, and lots of other fun activities spread over May and June.

June’s full of other occasions as well. Today is my anniversary (26 years), and tomorrow’s my birthday (the big five-oh!). Another daughter has a birthday next week. And I want to wish a belated birthday to Kim and Kelley Deal (only one day late).

Happy Birthday! Wow, you’re the same age as Barbie, the integrated circuit, Motown and the St. Lawrence Seaway. And it’s better to share a birth date with Hugh Laurie than Eliot Spitzer!

The date is shared also with George H W Bush, Jim Nabors, and the singer for Boston.

Oops! The guys whose birth dates I mentioned are June 10/11, 1959, not June 12.
I hope you, George, Jim and the other guy have a great day.

Oh great. I told my family at dinner that House and I have the same birthday. And the Boston singer isn’t celebrating any more. He died a couple years ago.

Well, I still have Anne Frank, Chick Corea, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Marv Albert. And drat, I missed Mary-Kate and Ashley by a day (13th).

Hey, Happy Anniversary! (OK, I’m a day late here, but I’ll slide over to today’s post in a few.)

In the meantime, check out the date on the calendar in Norman Rockwell’s “The Wedding License”:

Naomi – Thanks for the good wishes.

My daughter’s headed to U of Rochester in the fall, and the older one’s at Vassar. So if any of my readers want to click on the “Buy Me A Coffee” link about 25,000 times, I’ll be able to afford tuition.

Hi Jon,

All the best. Father’s day also sneaks in to June as well.

Cheers

Bob
