Plasma Screen Lifter

May 28, 2008 / By John Beagle / In Display, Plasma, Rental, Screen Lifter / Leave Comment

Companies wanting to transport 103″ plasma screens can do so with an automated transport and crate removal system. The screen lifter can also spin your screen 360 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise.

The new system can be used for digital signage and multimedia high res video at your next trade show, conference, convention or corporate event and has multiple uses at the same event because of its portability.

The packaging is what really makes this thing great. When I am in my trade show booth, I do not want a damaged 103″ Plasma Flat Screen staring everyone in the face. Thats why it’s a good idea even at $15k, not including the flat screen.

The Next John Beagle

May 16, 2008 / By John Beagle / In ACT, Middletown, Ohio State / Leave Comment

John Beagle is my son and I am proud of him.

He scored a near perfect in math on the ACT test. He is a cook at the Red Onion Restaurant, working under Chef Gary Heinz, who was the Chef at the Maisonette, a five star restaurant.

Johnny, as we all call him, played Monroe HS soccer for four years and was top scorer in his division. He has recently taken up golf and expects to beat me this summer. I said no way.

Johnny will go to the Ohio State University this fall. He has been accepted into the Honors program where he will figure out what kind of engineering student he wants to be.

The video is from a speech he gave at the Middletown Community Foundation Awards Banquet in May of 2008. Johnny has been a active member of the MCF for 3 years.

Dumpster Cam (Security Camera)

Why watch your dumpster? Just watch this video to see that employees throw out more than just trash. A dumpster cam reduce inventory ‘shrinkage,’ saving thousands of dollars.

Dumpsteer surveillance is a good thing to keep everyone ‘honest.’

Sunshine Laws and Email in the US

April 8, 2008 / By John Beagle / In Email, sunshine Laws / 1 Comment

Regarding Public Emails and the Sunshine Laws also knows as the Open Meetings/Open Records Law.

“There is a large misconception by non technical people that if they have a backup system for their e-mail server they are in compliance. This could not be more wrong.” JVC

Have the email floodgates just opened now that people are asking for electronic documents including email?

When people ask for public emails they are well within their rights. But many public officials need Sunshine Law Training.

In one case, a city mayor had sent out an email to all council members asking members to agree to a small city related finacial matter.

A public governmental body cannot simply make those kinds of decisions by responding to information emails from the mayor. This kind of a decision requires a vote to be taken in an open meeting.

Reference: Sunshine in Missouri

In another case, parents opposing a school levy requested email from school district administration and pro-levy supporters. These parents were well within their rights to ask for the email that the school district was not willing to provide.

Reference: Parents angry about records, Group wants e-mails they sent to schools

This may be a wakeup call for all public entities in Ohio and other states from Florida to Hawaii, that have enacted similar sunshine laws.

E-Mail archival regulations are a relatively new thing, and compliance seems to be slow. Nevertheless the law is in effect and government agencies and schools in many states are required to comply.

One possible solution for small governments and school districts is the Barracuda Message Archiver.

John 3:16 is Gospel

March 25, 2008 / By John Beagle / In bible, john316 / Leave Comment

Jesus’ words as recorded in John’s gospel, chapter 3 verse 16, are probably the most succinct and perfect presentation of the entire gospel message ever recorded.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

This bible verse holds special meaning to me because I only know that my birth name is John (no last name, I was adopted by Don and Sue Beagle) and I was born on 3-16. John 3-16.

Making Friends on The Voice of Monroe

February 19, 2008 / By John Beagle / In Printers, Rental, The Voice / Leave Comment

I said, “These things are taking up too much room in Josh Van Cleave’s computer shop.”

So I donated 10 to the schools which they have received and 10 to the city (5 for police and 5 for fire), which council has to approve before they can take delivery.

But that still leaves me with a bunch of these left.So I got to thinking. How bout I donate them to every Monroe business, church, student or organization until they are gone. All you have to do is to register on The Voice and request via the printer giveaway link.

So that’s just what I did.

Top Beagle Uno

Photo: Uno the Beagle

It was the first time in the history of the show that a Beagle won “Best in Show” at the 132nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

The show was at the Madison Square Garden, Tuesday night, February 12, 2008. Uno the beagle is a 15-inch tall champion who beat six highly ranked, highly coifed pooches like a standard and toy poodle, a Sealyham terrier, an akita, a weimaraner and an Australian shepherd.

“Everything he does is correct,” said J. Donald Jones, the 75-year-old judge who bestowed the top prize for purebreds on the beagle. “This is a great dog.”

This kind of make me proud, being a Beagle and all.
