Before his stint on Star Trek, William Shatner ventured into space to the Planet Venus on a mission coincidentally called Project Vulcan. In the Outer Limits episode “Cold Hands, Warm Heart” (S1E1).

As you can see, Shatner had already learned the technique of eating the scenery.

The unique design that is the Pagani Huayra is one of the fastest, most appreciated supercar out there. Some argue that we’re dealing with a hypercar, but that’s not important; no matter what you call it, it will grab your attention and never let go. What you’re looking at right now is the Pagani Huayra Project Vulcan, owned by Brett David – owner of Prestige Imports & Lamborghini Miami.

Powered by a 6.0-liter Mercedes-AMG V12 twin-turbo engine, that develops 730 hp and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque, Project Vulcan weighs in at just 1,350 kg (2,976 lbs), thanks to various carbon fiber components comprising its body. Dedicated to the owner’s father, Irv David, this supercar is both exciting as well as an emotional ride. One thing’s for sure: this is more than a collection of components; it’s passion.

Today at Lotusphere 2010, we laid out a vision, a blueprint, a concept for the future of collaboration, including the future of Lotus Notes, from IBM Lotus.  Called IBM Project Vulcan, the demonstration highlighted several components to the Lotus collaboration vision.  In the past, the complaint about Lotusphere is that we had become very focused on the here-and-now, and weren't sharing enough long-term vision.  New Lotus GM Alistair Rennie made the tough decision to go the other way, and start opening up the aperture early to allow the market to see what we believe that future should be.    IBM Project Vulcan is not a brand-new effort.  It builds on the existing capabilities, and represents the future versions of, the IBM Lotus product portfolio -- including Notes.  One of its key themes is social analytics and business analytics combined and applied to industry-specific scenarios -- making collaboration more focused and relevant.  The vision of Project Vulcan intends to deliver collaboration across company boundaries; make it easy to deploy the technology; and include developer-friendly services and APIs.

One of the key evolutionary thoughts in IBM Project Vulcan is to move from what we currently refer to as "linked value" across the IBM portfolio to the notion of "loosely-coupled" services.  This makes sense in an increasingly-expected hybrid environment, and will simplify deployment and adoption of collaboration and productivity within your organization.  Web services, xPages, HTML5, RESTful APIs, will all be tools in pushing Project Vulcan forward.  Alistair Rennie made a key point about IBM Project Vulcan -- delivering to the Notes client, web browser, and mobile devices as a converged user experience.
