 30 minutes prior to opening For the third year in a row, TPN produced Xbox’s presence at the craziness that is Comic Con. This year, in addition to the booth, TPN helped with four offsite parties, on three different days, at three separate hotels. You haven’t lived until you’ve crossed train tracks carrying 75lbs of posters in a mob of 5,000 people. …continue reading “” ›  Technogym Management Team Congrats to Technogym!

We’re pretty excited about this event, and we know you are too. Using Musion Eyeliner technology, a lifelike 3D holographic projection system as seen behind the speaker, Kirk Skaugen, vice president of the Intel architecture group, TPN helped bring the presentation to life with images seemingly floating on stage… To satisfy your appetite for all things Intel, we’ve provided some more links below on the launch. Enjoy! Intel Unveils New Server Chip By Don Clark Wall Street Journal March 30, 2010 Intel Corp. completed a broad overhaul of its chips for server systems, vowing to move the technology it helped popularize in personal computers to the very largest machines used by businesses and government agencies.

Why Nehalem-EX matters By Jonathan Eunice CNET March 30, 2010 http://news.cnet.com/8301-31114_3-10471701-258.html Nehalem-EX (officially, the Intel Xeon 7500) completes the set with a high-end, server version. It ups the feeds and speeds, of course. More cores! More sockets! More memory! More widgets! Most important, it makes it straightforward for server vendors to create extremely powerful x86 servers. 4-socket/32-core servers are easy peasy. 8-socket/64-core servers-enormous by any historical standard-are not much harder. Vendors like IBM and NEC that have majored on scale-up will go even higher. At the same time, Nehalem-EX adds the I/O bandwidth and reliability/availability features needed to feed and care for such large resource pools. Sure, there may be more variants of Nehalem to come (preview: Even more cores! Even higher frequencies! Even more bandwidth!), but the entire range is now in play.  Full hallway at TPN Gallery Walls reception TPN’s spring artist reception had its largest turnout in its ten year history this week. Featuring the work of five local, diverse artists, the hallways were full and the art was selling. The art included the work of Jeremy Mangan, Renate Ruby, Lee Berry, Tia Matthies and Kiki MacInnis. The TPN Gallery Walls reception is a community event, open to the public, and gives us a chance to show our “softer” side and give back to the neighborhood. Solid Ground, a local charity, was on hand as well to collect donations of non-perishable items or monetary contributions. www.solid-ground.org We’d love for you to join us next time! Email Megan West at meganma {at} tpnevents(.)com to be added to our mailing list.

Finally we have an example of a TPN webcast that we can share – http://www.parentingcounts.org/webcast/!! …continue reading “revelations through webcast” ›  Richard giving his thoughtful speech... TPN celebrated the retirement of our much loved co-founder Richard Moore last Friday at the EMP. Attended by family and friends, it had the feel of a reunion as well as a retirement party. Guests included employees from 20 years in the past, TPN’s early days, all out to toast Richard and his general wonderful-ness; a testament to Richard’s management and people skills. Richard’s love of fax machines was celebrated, and our MC, Greg Elder, dusted off an early version of a fax Richard purchased and gave it as a gift. I’m sure its sitting on Richard’s mantel. We wish him all the best and we’ll miss his quick sense of humor and easy companionship. Congrats Richard! |
