    Geek cred ... what is this statue?

    While looking for a name or term to describe what the next three months worth of upgrades will bring to the table, one name stood out.

    The attached image captures the very essence and spirit (with a little bit of humor) of what we have on the road map for early next year.

    First bit of the upgrade is scheduled somewhere between the 30th and the 4th. Think of it as the pedestal.

    Cerberus.

    You're beefing up security, or is Geo branching off into the pet market?

    Jeez .. that was too easy.

    JGL, the roadmap can be summed up here.

    Cerberus is the monstrous watchdog of the underworld. Heads from snakes grew on his back, he had serpent’s tail, lions claws, a mane of snakes. He guarded the gate to Hades. He wouldn't let the dead escape the kingdom of Hades, and the “living” could not enter either, although the mythic hero Orpheus gained passage by charming Cerberus with music.

    Originally Cerberus had 50 or a hundred heads but eventually looked like he had three. His brother was Orthrus who had two heads. He is the offspring of Echidne (half women, half serpent) and Typhon (most fierce of all creatures).


    The three heads are the symbol of the baser forces of life and represent the past, the present and the time yet to come.

    Should that be Greek cred?

    Sorry!
