It looks like Sony and Microsoft are poised to launch their respective next-generation game consoles on May 16th. Three days later, the final (and simultaneously interim) chapter of the Star Wars saga blasts its way into theaters. Throw the E3 gaming and entertainment conference and expo into the mix, and you have a perfect storm of geek-centric events and distractions ready to destroy productivity among programmers and IT staff across the nation. I hope Alan Greenspan has factored this into the Federal Reserves' latest economic forecasts.
