Good Monday morning and here are the details for today’s Squawk Box.
This morning we’ll be talking with Simon Ditner and Evan Liebovitch to find a little about this week’s IT 360 show in Toronto. What’s it about, and what will they be doing there. I’m sure it has something to with Asterisk.
And if time remains, we’ll also discuss a couple of the hot stories that emerged over the weekend. The NY Times says that blogging can kill you. With three of my friends having had heart attacks this year, it’s hard to disagree! But is three a trend? And how about the way that Shel Israel and Loren Feldman have been circling the hydrant? It’s been like watching a car accident — tough to tear your eyes away, but ugly nonetheless Is there a lesson there for satirists and those targeted by satirists alike?
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

thanks for that Dana. We in the VoIP blogging community will miss him, and I was certainly looking forward to connecting up with him in San Jose. If I'd been there a few days earlier…
As a long time friend of Russell, who was interviewed (but not quoted) for the NYTimes story, I thought y’all might be interested in my own views about all this. But it’s long, so here’s a link.

My own solution, by the way, includes daily exercise, weekend bike rides, the love of a good woman, and rampant hypochondria!
