NACStech 2009

Professor BJ Fogg was excellent. He discussed how focusing on
simplicity is the key to innovation. Ideas that are simple are usually
better, stronger and faster.

He was one of the early professors that helped get Facebook up and
running. He gave great examples to illustrate how social networking is
the best tool for culture change and persuasion. Great stuff.

Repping Redskins in front of new Cowgirls stadium

Had to put on for my city in Dallas on way to Rangers baseball game. Real rap, their new football stadium looks like alien technology. Pretty intimidating too. Might be largest stadium facade I have ever seen. Whoa!!!

I have been in Steelers and Redskins gear the whole time outside of my business meetings. Getting mad love from locals for both teams. Can't wait for football season. Here we Go Steelers and Hail to the Redskins.

Dallas, TX

Having a wonderful time in Dallas. Caught a Rangers baseball game and
saw them win their 7th straight against the LA Angels. The ballpark is
really nice too. Sort of like a newer throw back mix of Camden Yards
and Jacob field.

Repping my Redskins at new Cowboys stadium and throughout town.
Surprisingly there are lots of Skins fans here. Kind of like all the
Cowgirl bama fans in DC "urea". The new stadium looks like alien
technology for real.

In town for huge NACStech show. Looking forward to innovative learning
about social media, IT integration and retail technology trends.
Sharpening my marketing superhero skills.

President Obama likes his burgers the same way my son does

The President clearly has swag. He refuses to be defined by convention. He took a quick roadtrip in the DMV = DC, MD & VA for all you out of towners to hit up a popular burger joint. And no, its not 5 Guys. Although that spot is awesome too, and his wife loves their fresh burgers and fries too.

I laughed at this video because like my son, he likes his burgers with mustard, lettuce, tomato and onion, but not the usual ketchup and other nasty condiments. Pretty funny.

Kentucky Derby Weekend 2009





I have always said the Kentucky Derby Weekend is one of the best kept secrets in the world. Louisville is an amazing city, and the Derby weekend is when it shines the brightest.

The first weekend in May, is a marvelous display of fashion, hospitality, and true glamour. As the longest running sports championship in America, the Kentucky Derby has managed to adhere to the pomp and circumstance of yesterday, while attracting legions of loyal fashionistas. Today you can rub elboys with the biggest stars from Hollywood and Music, and also network with true market millionaires and mavens. All are attracted by the greatest 2 minutes in all of Sports.

Like the Superbowl, Championship prize fighting, NBA All Star Weekend, and other over sized sports events, the Derby has a whole scene and culture that has developed around it. For the past 8 years, we have been at the center of that with the hottest after hours parties in the region. This past weekend's events were no different. We want to give special thanks to the city of Louisville, the State of Kentucky, and all the beautiful people that made our events memorable. We can't wait for next year, the 136th running of what I believe to be the greatest championship event in the world.

Let's GO!!!
