Motorola SURFboard eXtreme Cable Modem SB6121
I was able to get my new Motoroloa SB6121 cable modem I bought up and running when connected directly to a computer, but I was having no luck getting it to connect to my Linksys hub. I used my alternate wireless internet connection and on the motorola site it referred to the fact that a cross over cable was needed to go between the cable modem and the hub. Fortunately I had one on hand and after resetting the modem, then plugging in the cross over cable, and THEN turning on the router, it all worked. Phew!

Post mortem technique
Two interesting tricks I saw in a postmortem I just attended:
Take a poll via anonymous sticky note poll on the relative safety in the room:
4 - Secure: I can share everything
3 - Safe: I can share almost everything without filtering
2 - Neutral: I can share most of what I want to share without filtering
1 - Dangerous: I cannot share some of my important contributions in the room.
0 - Treacherous: I cannot share most of my important contributions in the room.
Then talk about what ground rules could be put in place to help this. Then up/down thumb vote to confirm everyone agrees to abide by those rules.
The other was to do a Return on Time Invested (ROTI) at the end of the meeting:
5 - Awesome!
4 - Exceeded expectations
3 - Was worth the time invested
2 - Wasn't worth 100% of the time invested, but worthwhile
1 - Not worth my time
