Cisco games.

So a coworker sent me this link with a comment about it being 'my kind of thing'. She was right, I went through the registration process and played three levels of the SAN game. There are three games out there - VOIP, Security, and SAN. I played the SAN game through three levels because... Well, my co-worker was right, and if I didn't have a ton of work to do I'd still be playing.
It requires registration that is pretty invasive, but just skirts the edge of acceptable. You can have my email and job title, I'm a little touchy about my phone number. But it was fun to play, and there is a lot of good content out there for the different Cisco certifications. The game is too simplistic in my not-so-humble opinion, but maybe that's the point. Since the scenario is for NASA, maybe Cisco is trying to teach us that SANs don't have to be rocket science.
Anyway, here's the link: cisco games tell your boss you were studying up on SANs when he asks about the games you're playing.
And by the way, if you see anything cool like these games or the "stand up bit" anime, don't hesitate to send them to me. Blogging about storage needs a little bit of fun after all, it can't all be numbers and names.
Don.
