West Chatham Elementary School’s Family Science Night was held on March 15th in Pooler and was visited by community partners from the U.S. Coast Guard, Gulfstream, Boaen Mechanical Contractors Inc. and International Paper. Science activities included investigating electricity, sounds, bubbles, games and art. Students were able to participate in a number of hands-on activities with professionals nearby to field any questions.

I used to love science fairs when I was a young geek, but for some reason, all my science projects used to be such lame subjects. I did the standard ‘The Solar System’, and after that I launched my efforts into exploring such fascinating subjects as ‘The Octopus’, ‘Hiccups’, and ‘Can You Recognize Your Own Profile?’. Not only did I involved my whole class in these projects, lining them up against a white curtain with a light to take Polariods of their profiles, but I was awarded with nothing. Don’t worry, I’m over it now (am I?), and I applaud all young kids en an Honorable Mention at the fair. interested in science, exploring random subjects, and learning more about cures for hiccups.

Companies from all over the country will be converging on Savannah from April 10 – 12, so if you happen to be out and about, this week will be great for networking!

Blade Systems Insight is the first national summit focused on the ROI, TCO and bottom-line business benefits of blade-based systems and virtualization solutions for today’s data center.

Now, what does that mean?

Well, blade based technologies are the fastest and most significant growth area in server computing. According to bladesystemsinsight.com, “Blade systems represent highly advanced, ultra-dense servers that fit on a single card and deliver higher performance, lower power consumption and extraordinary economies of scale. According to IDC, the blade server market – including related applications—will double in size over the next five years and be a $10 billion marketplace by 2010. The blade space is expected to experience a 350% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next four years.”
