Conference Hound-Up May 17, 2012: These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty

It’s beautiful outside! Stop staring at the computer and go for a hike.  When you’re done here, of course. San Francisco is providing us with two summits designed to offer guidance and tips for those folks with the weight of an entire company on their shoulders.  If this describes you, the Chief Strategy Officer Summit [...]

Sweet delicious technology.

Conference Hound-Up May 16, 2012: A Refreshing Digital Smoothie

Welcome to the middle of the week, where most of the awesome stuff happens.  Oh wait, I was thinking of the weekend.  Nevermind.  Anyway, there’s at least a few cool things kicking off with us this Wednesday, not the least of which is one of the biggest and most widely respected film festivals in the [...]

Yeah he's scary, but at least he doesn't know my search history and all of my passwords.

Conference Hound-Up May 14, 2012: Isn’t Every Week Internet Week?

New York City is hopping and buzzing this week, but I guess that’s usually the case.  And if you work for Google, you already knew that, because you guys know everything about everyone. There’s plenty going on in New York City today.  They’re celebrating Internet Week to honor the thriving community of internetters that inhabit [...]

When I was a kid, we had to wait FIVE minutes for beastly machines like these to connect to something called AOL.

Conference Hound-Up May 10, 2012: The Singularity Will Merge You and Your Bikini

Could someone please direct me to the weekend?  I seem to have gotten lost at Thursday. The Small Business Expo in New York touts itself as a pivotal event for all you CEO types, offering priceless networking opportunities alongside a unique tradeshow floor. I haven’t the foggiest what The NBM Show‘s titular acronym stands for, [...]

If we drink enough beer, we can end global warming forever.  Or at least forget about it.

Conference Hound-Up May 8, 2012: Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Just The Dinosaurs?

We live in exciting times.  If you don’t believe me, just take a look at all the neat stuff packed into this post and try to keep yourself from getting all giddy. With folks like Richard Branson and the gang behind Planetary Resources, Inc. planning and executing commercially driven adventures into Earth’s orbit, outer space [...]

Your brain on drugs.

Conference Hound-Up May 7, 2012: Light Speed Is A Pansy

Congratulations for surviving Cinco de Mayo.  It’s now Seis de Mayo, which isn’t anything special… except for all the awesome events kicking off today! Cytrix Synergy San Francisco runs through the whole week to provide everything you ever needed to know about cloud computing, virtualization and networking.  This is an in-depth, multimedia event covering everything [...]

I have assembled this Gummy Bear Army to do my bidding.  FYI.

Conference Hound-Up May 4-6, 2012: I Will Avenge Your Weekend

I’ve got plenty for you to do this weekend, if you aren’t too busy watching The Avengers over and over.  It’s fine if you are, just remember: this is time you will never get back.  If watching this film happens to produce the same chill one experiences when a ghost passes through them, you can [...]

Yeah - now imagine me with a BIGASS FUTURE-GUN.

Conference Hound-Up May 2, 2012: Quantum Shark Will Eat You In The Past

I don’t want to alarm you, but it’s entirely possible that our technology is falling into the hands of evil, sea-dwelling monsters.  I realize we’ve probably killed off like 90% of the sharks in the world, but they’re still pretty creepy. Hey everybody! It’s time for Pool Expo 2012!  If you need the latest news [...]

The Moon is preparing to devour its next victims.

Conference Hound-Up May 1, 2012: Give A Girl A Break

Today we’ll explore a bit of business and marketing combined with some gamification and a touch of the superlunal.  Since I put that on the internet, it’s now a word.   This will all be explained by the end of the Hound-Up, I swear. SCI-FI LONDON is a major genre event for the United Kingdom, boasting [...]

Pretty soon we won't need Zippos.  We'll start fires in the cloud.

Conference Hound-Up April 30, 2012: Don’t Torch Me, Bro
