As we approach the eve of the Decathlon competition, the eventful Beijing summer Olympics of 2008 are about half over. Watching some of the (live and recorded) coverage from my lovely vacation spot) I couldn't help observing an interesting comparison to my work life. The context of Olympic Decathlon Champions in history turns out to be a great parallel for Networked Storage Companies and Architectures of today. Yes I really do need to learn to "detach" more, don't I? :-)
