Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz Tweets Resignation In Haiku
CEOs may come and go, but not every one chooses to tweet their departure.
Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz announced his resignation via Twitter, becoming the first Fortune 200 head to do so, according to the New York Times.
Schwartz Tweeted from his account, OpenJonathan,
Today’s my last day at Sun. I’ll miss it. seems only fitting to end on a #haiku. Financial crisis/Stalled too many customers/CEO no more(see screenshot below)
The new York Times also notes that during his tenure at Sun, Schwartz as an avid user of social media tools:
Mr. Schwartz has been fond of using the Internet as a soapbox. at Sun, he became the first chief executive of a major company to put up his own blog. Mr. Schwartz also pushed the Securities and Exchange Commission to put blogs on equal footing with press releases and filings when it comes to disclosing critical business matters to investors.
On January 28, Schwartz tweeted out a link to what he said was ‘likely my last blog at Sun…’ (Read Schwartz’s blog entry, ‘Where Life Takes me Next…’ here.)
In it, he writes,
Greg Papadopoulos, one of the brightest people I’ve ever known, once made a very interesting statement – all technology ultimately becomes a fashion item. It was true for timekeeping, and it’s definitely true of computing and telecommunications. To that law, I’d like to add a simple corollary: the technology industry only gets more interesting. It’s been true my entire life.

Jenoptik Group Opens Laser Application Center in Korea
Customers and interested parties in the areas of electronic, flat panel as well as photovoltaics and automotive can test and further develop production processes and lasers. The official opening of the new sales, application and service site took place today. Customers and partners were presented the entire product spectrum of the Lasers & Material Processing as well as Optical Systems divisions.
Jenoptik Chairman of the Executive Board Dr. Michael Mertin and CFO Frank Einhellinger opened the new laser application center in the presence of around 100 invited guests from business and politics, among them numerous customers and partners of the Jenoptik Group in Asia. “This moves our process of internationalization a major step forward. Direct market access and a trained service team are indispensable for complex systems. With the new center, we have laid the foundation for further business activities of all divisions of the Jenoptik Group,” said Michael Mertin at the opening.
Customers and interested parties from across Asia can now test lasers and laser applications for their own production environments on site with their own materials and refine the processes together with Jenoptik engineers. Jenoptik invested $4.4 million (approx. 3.4 million/5.4 billion Korean Won) in the laser application center in the southern Korean city of Pyeongtaek (Gyeonggi province, 70 km south of Seoul).
The application center is sited on a campus shared with Telstar-Hommel Corp., a long-standing Jenoptik joint venture partner in the Industrial Metrology division. Together with Telstar-Hommel Corp., Jenoptik founded JENOPTIK Korea Corp. in July 2009 and built the new application center in only four months. The Jenoptik Executive Board gave special thanks to Buyng-Hoon Im, president and CEO of Telstar-Hommel: “We have an experienced partner in Telstar-Hommel. without the close and intensive collaboration, we would not have been able to build the laser application center so quickly and successfully,” said Michael Mertin and Frank Einhellinger in their opening speech.
Lasers and laser processing systems available for extensive tests, process development and pilot and small production runs.
Over an area of approx. 500 square meters, the laser application center has initially been equipped with two laser systems for processes in the electronic as well as photovoltaics and flat panel industries: the JENOPTIK VOTANTM Semi 300 is designed for machining wafers (Si, GaAs or SiC) and thus also for ultra-precise applications in clean room environments. The special separation process developed by Jenoptik, so-called TLS-DicingTM (TLS = Thermal Laser Separation), enables the quick, efficient and damage-free separation of semiconductor wafers. With the JENOPTIK VOTANTM Advanced laser system, the TLS process specifically addresses the photovoltaics and flat panel industry for industrial cutting (called separation) of thin-film solar cells and display glass. in addition to tests, customers and interested parties can also develop individual technological solutions on the systems, manufacture pilot runs and small batches and commission feasibility studies.
There are plans to expand the application center with additional laser systems in the coming months as part of the expansion of JENOPTIK Korea Corporation ltd. within a short time, JENOPTIK Korea Corporation ltd. has already positioned itself as a partner for the entire Asian growth market. The company has eight employees and, in addition to the application center, is in charge of all after-sales service in Asia together with other Jenoptik companies, e.g. in Japan. A total of over 60 laser systems for various applications are currently in use in Asia. 14 further systems have been commissioned and will be delivered or installed in the coming months. JENOPTIK Korea Corporation ltd. achieved its first successes quicker than expected and received new orders worth a total of around 5 million in recent months.
Jenoptik Group expanding presence in Asia.
According to preliminary figures, sales of the Jenoptik Group in Asia comprised just under 8 percent of overall sales of around 470 million in 2009, just under 10 percent of overall sales in the Lasers & Optical Systems segment were in Asia. “We see more great potential for the overall Group in Asia. With our direct local presence, we can now approach the market better and more intensively. in the current year, we are again expanding our activity in Asia,” says Jenoptik boss Dr. Michael Mertin. in Asia, the Jenoptik Group currently has a total of about 150 employees in own or joint venture companies and, in addition to Korea, is also present in China and Japan.
The business contacts in Korea are attributable to the Industrial Metrology division of the Jenoptik Group, which has already been represented there for over 25 years. Customers of Industrial Metrology include renowned automobile manufacturers and suppliers such as KIA, Hyundai and GM Daewoo.

Chiefs sign free agent RB Thomas Jones
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—The Kansas City Chiefs’ running game just got a bigboost.
The Chiefs signed free agent running back Thomas Jones(notes), who led the New YorkJets to the AFC championship game last season and was the NFL’s third-leadingrusher.
The team announced the deal Tuesday, but declined to disclose the terms.
Jones had career highs of 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, a yearafter being selected for the Pro Bowl following a season in which he ran for1,312 yards and 13 touchdowns.
The 31-year-old Jones is expected to complement third-year running backJamaal Charles(notes), who was Kansas City’s MVP last season with 1,120 yards rushingand seven touchdowns.
Despite Jones rushing for 1,000 or more yards for the fifth straight season,the Jets cut ties with him when free agency began last Friday. he was due a $3million roster bonus on top of a $2.8 million base salary this season, and Jonesand the Jets failed to reach a compromise on restructuring his contract. Theteam wanted him to take a pay cut, and Jones declined.
Jones sat out voluntary activities last offseason while tryingunsuccessfully to renegotiate his deal, which was front-loaded over the firsttwo seasons. he made only $900,000 in base salary last season, but didn’t allowit to affect his play.
Jones was a major reason the Jets ranked first in the league with 172.2yards rushing per game, and helped new York within a game of the Super Bowl. Heappeared to tire down the stretch as rookie Shonn Greene(notes) got the bulk of thecarries, but Jones has said he feels he can play another four or five seasonsbecause of the terrific shape he keeps himself in.
He was drafted seventh overall in 2000 by the Arizona Cardinals. he wastraded to Tampa Bay in 2003, went to Chicago the following year as a free agentand was traded to the Jets in 2007.
Jones ranks second only to LaDainian Tomlinson(notes), also a free agent, in yardsrushing since 2005. Jones ranks 28th on the career list with 9,217 yards, 190behind Earl Campbell.

To all those people who say “If you don’t like America, why don’t you leave?”?
Dear Pro-Americans! the answer to your question is that I am too poor to leave. Though I really do wish to. How many of you would fund me to leave? I am debating creating a fundraising effort to help me escape this country, as a political refugee of a one-culture-fits-all totalitarian style regime. Our government really is similiar to the “terrorists” they so claim to hate.
Costa Rica Moving Day | Uber Articles
By Frank Scott | March 9, 2010 | Popularity: unranked (?)
Conducting photo tours in Costa Rica can be quite an experience because I never know what my group and I will encounter. Here is an entertaining event that occurred while we were traveling to one of our locations.
One of the pleasures of living in Costa Rica is that I can conduct Costa Rica Photo Tours for folks who want to visit and photograph exotic locations. Indeed, one of the destinations on the tour is the beautiful Osa Peninsula, the “most biologically intense place” on earth according to the National Geographic Society. we drive to this location through the little village of Ojochal, which is very close to my home.
Let me tell you about a unique way to move that some rural Costa Ricans still use. One day, when my photography group was passing through the village, we noticed a most unusual way of moving. But, to help you better appreciate what we saw, let me provide you with some background on the man who was moving.
The fellow who was moving was one of my neighbours, Senor Wilson (real Spanish name, don’t you think?), who has brought my wife and me flowering plants since we moved in. It was really funny the first day that he stood at the top of the driveway with plants in hand. He was so polite that he would not come down to the house without our invitation even though he was there to give us a present.
After a sort of “conversation”, he in Spanish and my wife and I mostly in English, I realized that he wanted to give us the plants. we were new in the community and this was a welcoming from the neighbours who live at least a hour walk up the mountain. Yep, walk. no car. Senor Wilson walked an hour just to deliver a gift. Now, that is neighborly!
Over the years, Senor Wilson has given me flowering plants many times, always expecting me to plant them somewhere. Well, it does not always happen that the planting occurs quickly enough so sometimes the plants may not be in very good shape by the time they are planted. In any event, I certainly never expected to be tested on my planting abilities when I moved to Costa Rica from Canada.
Wilson came back a few days later to deliver yet another plant while his children swam in the river by our house. to my procrastinating dismay he asked where I planted the others that he had brought me.
Well, they were still in the pots (these pots are not the plastic pots that we are familiar with but old aluminum kettles with drainage holes made by stabbing the bottom with a machete), would you believe it? Wilson saw this and decided that he not only would bring the plants but he would plant them in our little garden. that tells you all you need to know about this good man.
Now that you have some idea about the kind of fellow my friend and neighbor Wilson is like, I want to return to my photography tour group driving along the dusty road near my house. Suddenly, we came upon a man walking alongside his horse. The animal was carrying two white bags, two huge white bags, filled with clothes and household items. between the bags, Wilson or his wife had wedged a blue broom that extended over the animal’s head, giving us the impression that the horse was wearing a bristle blue tiara. I wonder if the horse was enjoying his royal status or quietly suffering the indignity of wearing a broom crown.
And there was Wilson standing by the horse with a bridle in one hand and a birdcage in the other. a horse, a crown, a man, and a birdcage. what a sight! Moving day.
I started the conversation as usual with “Hola, que tal?” “How are you?” and then I asked if he was moving (only kidding). But, sure enough, the horse was neighbor Wilson’s version of a moving van. I believe it is called a grass-eating 4 X 4.
Wilson explained that his family would be babysitting one of the Bed and Breakfasts while the owner was going back to Germany during the rainy season. this was ideal for him because it was much easier for his wife and 3 children to live in the pueblo close to the school rather than walk down about 2 miles from their mountain home every day.
I thought that it was rather interesting that he was carrying the birdcage. I would have thought that on one of the previous trips down to their new digs one of the children would have wanted to carry the cage.
Carting flowering plants and birdcages is all in Wilson’s job description. He told me and the group that the little bird was very young (parrot or parakeet, I don’t know), that it just loved to talk and knew many words. as though he understood, the bird started showing off, chattering away while we are talking about it. I would tell you what it said but my command of bird Spanish remains very poor to this day. sorry.
There was a great deal of excitement and clicking of cameras as the group was taking pictures of the family, the chattering bird, and the embarrassed regal horse since the chance of seeing something like this again, ever, was quite remote. welcome to moving day in the mountains of southern Costa Rica! Local colour is always the surprise on my photo tours.
Canadian Frank Scott lives in sunny Costa Rica where he is a professional Costa Rica Photographer offering unique photography tours. some of his work can be seen in Costa Rica Vacations, a very popular travel guide to this unique country.
