It's Never Too Hot
Fifty years ago on this date (7/31), ground was broken for the IBM Rochester (MN) facility, almost 6 months after the plans were announced (see prior post on this subject).
To help celebrate 50 years of innovation,
which is the theme adopted for a series of events to recognize the achievement, Sam Palmisano, Bill Zeitler, and Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty will be on site today.
This special event will be held outdoors. The weather forecast is for temps in the upper 90's and high humidity. Today, we'll call that painfully hot. In 6 months, we'll refer to it as that beautiful afternoon.
