Independence IT announced today its “On the Road” Photo Contest.  The purpose of this contest is to demonstrate the mobility of the company’s hosted desktop service.

 To enter, individuals must send a photo of themselves or a group while traveling on business or a personal vacation holding the official contest sign that says “On the Road with Independence IT”.  Extra points will be given for those photos that include a communication device, such as a laptop or smart phone.  Photos must be submitted between March 1 and June 30, 2010.  A panel of judges will select “The Best Picture and the winner will receive a $250.00 American Express gift card. 

 “Serving as a virtual IT department for our clients for more than a decade, we have heard many stories about the wonderful or whacky places they have logged into their remote desktop accounts to accomplish some type of work task,” explained Tony Whitton, CEO at Independence IT.  “We thought this photo contest would be a great way to collect pictures and show the world what you can do with our service.”

 More contest details and official rules can be found on the Independence IT website at: www.independenceit.com/ontheroad  or on Facebook at:  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=311872065162&ref=mf.

If you have ever vacationed in Nags Head, NC, you have most likely noticed the old water tower.  In fact, if you pick up a map of the Outer Banks, the old water tower is still listed and pictured on it.  Well, that water town has been replaced by a newer one and the old tower was torn down to make room for a Cell Phone Tower. When I was down there visiting this past weekend, we spoke with one of the owners who is campaigning to “camouflage” the tower into something that is more visually appealing.

My personal opinion is that the Town Officials should seriously consider this request.  While a cell tower may be a necessity in today’s world; it does not mean that everyone should have to look at the ugly thing.  There are so many options available to turn this structure into another Landmark for that area.  Such as the old water tower was for the town for so many years!!!
