ShoreTel Blog » ShoreTel Mobility and Me

This is a product we have seen a lot of traction regarding. ShoreTel has jumped ahead the other IPT systems by getting rid of the IPT system. Everyone is Mobile today. It doesn't matter if you're an Android, an Apple or some other fruit. Provide functionality to the user and stop forcing them to learn to use it the manufacturer's way, let them use it in the way most comfortable for them.

This is where the market is today. People want choice and we are able to provide that on multiple levels.

Notice this link to ShoreTel where many of the users are talking about the leap forward they have made using ShoreTel and Mobility.

Pelotonia is Reaching their Goal!




Cancer strikes one of every two American men and one of every three American women at some point in their lives. Frank Goode, President of Accent Information Systems, and I have formed "Team Accent", and we will be doing our part to help find a cure for cancer by joining Lance Armstrong and over 2000 others riding in Pelotonia on August 28th - 30th.



Pelotonia, a grass roots bike tour, has one goal: to end cancer. With 100% of every donation going to fund essential research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, we can't think of a better way to join in the fight against this disease.



Will you join us in this fight? Registration for volunteers for this event is now closed, but you can still help by making a pledge of $100, $50, $25, or even $10. No donation is too small! We hope you consider supporting our efforts and this great cause. On the link below, you will find our riders' profiles and a simple and secure way to make any size donation you wish.

Pelotonia - Team Accent

Our heartfelt "thanks" go to our friends who have already made a pledge. With your help, we are one step closer to winning the battle against cancer!

Only 25 days to go!

Pelotonia is a grass roots effort to help The James Cancer Research Center by getting something *unheard of* in any charitable campaign I have ever seen.... 100% of all money raised goes directly to The James. http://www.pelotonia.org/ride/about_james.jsp

All of us have been touched in some way by this terrible disease. Even though there isn't a cure right now one day it will be eliminated.

This is an opportunity to help be a part of the campaign to join over 2,200 people bring a greater awareness to the excellent work being done at The James.

How can you help? By getting on a bike and joining the rest of us. Or if that is not your style, you could volunteer (any of the available days August 28 - 30, 2009) along the 100 mile route. Or if you prefer you could donate to our riders $100, $50, $25, or $10. Really, any amount is appreciated.

There are thousands that will be riding along with Lance as he visits Columbus again as he helps in the fight!

Training for Pelotonia!

Rust is gone!

I finally have gotten the rust off!! Yesterday I ran sub 9 minute miles for five miles straight. The last 1/4 mile I clocked at 1:50. U2's Vertigo brought me home in top gear. No pain or soreness during or after the runs. I may not be getting older :).

I still have my daughter running trying to help her in her complete another Komen's Race for the Cure in Columbus this year. Numero tres.

When we are out together we don't do more than 3 miles with a break at the half point. There are still two weeks before the race so we are working on her endurance to make sure she will have a decent finish of 33 minutes. For every second under 33 minutes I will pay one dollar. Right now she is at 36/37 minutes for a 5k race.

I think we all need an exciting incentive. It doesn't necessarily need to always be money. There are many time that just helping someone by volunteering, or making something better can be enough to move someone to action. For teenagers however money seems to be a dominate motivator. I am hoping that she will learn a lesson I learned when I was 18. If someone gives you money for nothing you should give some to those that need it most. I will write about my experience at the "Robin Hood" in Kent when I was 18 next time.

Perfect day!

Weather is in the 40's today. Only went 4 miles but I felt good about it. Still 10 minute miles but I am not pushing it. By next week I should have 9:30 miles for 4.

There were some people running with jackets today. I saw one girl with a scarf around her face. Am I weird for running in shorts on a day like today? I feel that once the blood starts rushing there is no need for any other type of heat.

Today was perfect weather for me.
