Finally at home to my own laptop. I am hoping you all had time to regenerate with family and friends and forget for a short while, all the issues we deal with daily throughout the rest of the year, and you all had some personal rest time.

The time approaches.............

Our POET office group has been compiling extensive information on certain companies, their operations, their projects and potential relationships that they "may" have with us. One of those companies, most obviously, is Google. Google is a byzantine web of departments, projects, developmental sections, and black ops it seems. What Google does best is not unlike Apple, develops product and process in abject secrecy.

So when AM was spotted with Google reps (not just any Google rep as well) at a public presentation, the race of wagging tongues was on. Why was he there ? What possible subjects could be discussed in between them ? A convenient meeting point ? Discussion of an MOU or preliminary agendas developed ? An appointment made to view pertinent data ? A free lunch ?

Whatever it was It can not be left to the back hallways. As big of a clue as any long has every had that the groundwork is being laid based upon managements bluefprint. These two heavyweights don't meet to share recipe's. So it went with us that even though nothing was officially (really said) said, that its was a very convenient and interesting paradox. One of our group members felt it was a chance to mesh schedules and to talk turkey. Another said that it was a precursor non verbal announcement to familiarize the Google stock holders with a name, a company, and an upcoming 5-10% stake.

Then theres the new CEO. Much ballyhooed speculation on one Rory Read. No signs, no clues (other than a might be timely resignation) no overhang. Is he the man or are there other..... and better ?...or just different ? A recent search we did of nationwide head hunter outfits revealed nothing out of the ordinary in candidate specifics. Whomever it is, you can bet it will be equal if not better (is there any better CV?)to AM's experience and reputation and CV.

Then theres coming further milestones, a foundry partner, more staffing, a NASDAQ entry. Licencee's, investor's, and a willing public looking for the next "IT" stock. A culmination of corporate developments that will define the company for generations.
