I went by my bank today to discuss moving our payroll over to their system. I specifically deal with my personally banker whenever possible, but today he was unavailable. It seems he was studying for his Series 65 exam and taking the test tomorrow. I am always encouraged to see people continuing their education, and especially this time, because it means that he will able to help me with even more services.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Series 65 exam, it is to become a qualified investment adviser. The test is all-inclusive and I’ve been told that it is extremely difficult. LIIF.com has the complete course sets in print as well as cd-rom. Many people take advantage of practice tests and study guides provided them. They even have practice finals for a complete product.

Some people have asked me what happened to my Whims and Wonders blog. Well, it’s still there, and going strong. It can be a little less formal than this blog, so be prepared. Consider it the teenage brother of this one. Look for whims about the fun side of technology, as well as some cool toys and even some more personal info about my hobbies. Hell, you might even get a Paris and Nicole update, hence whims and wonders. I hope you enjoy both blogs and look forward to your continuing comments, suggestions, and snide remarks.

Blade server technology was initially developed in the early millennium through a partnership between IBM and Intel. Later, a number of major companies, led by IBM, formed an “industry community” in February 2006, with a website base at blade.org. The mission of the community is to “accelerate the growth and adoption of [blade] technologies in the market.”
