First, yes, I am a blade runner. We all run the new blades here at Sun. Those of you that like P.K. Dick will recognize his work in my opening blab. Also, it isn't Christmas, but the new blades rock.

1. Yes, I do have pictures of the birds' nest in the grill. Dang birds will not stop building a nest.

2. The blog did see a 146% growth over April. Not sure my test worked, but there is more traffic.

3. Last week we launched "Storage Stop, A Blog from Sun's Solaris Storage Software Group", intended to bring together any and all information useful to storage sysadmins using using Solaris as a Storage Operating System, as well as our storage products including tape, disk and NAS.

We kicked off with a welcome message from Bob Porras - that post got 190 views the first day (May 30th)!

Today we've posted a list of Storage-related blogs at Sun, so that storage sysadmins can quickly locate the Sun experts who are blogging on topics that interest them. (Additions to this list are still welcome, BTW.)

Storage Stop will publish at least weekly (on Wednesdays), and we are eager for more material for it. If you would like to see an article, or can suggest topics that should be covered (and the people to cover them), please write back to me.

Have fun. And, no, I am not a replicant, but I can replicate using our world class data storage software, AVS.
