July 1, 2011

So the Digital Dumbo event (sponsored by Big Fuel) basically exemplified all of the things I don't really like about networking:  Lots and lots of fashionable young people crowded into a giant sweaty room, the twitter stream for the event writ large on a screen, "Like" stickers that you are supposed to stick on each other's customized T-shirts to demonstrate how much people like you for some sort of contest and just a pervasive sense of "awesome awesome awesome!" in a way that's not awesome.  I will continue to go to these events and hopefully meet some interesting people, but it's just not all that fun.

Today was not a very productive day, I suppose.  We woke up at 11, went to lunch with Jeff M. at B&H (good dude, good food) and then we arrived at the office around 3:30 pm with all sorts of gear in tow: a new television, some cables, a twelve pack of old school Rolling Rock.

I had a long productive talk with James G. about his web development contract and we talked through the ins and outs of print and digital design so that he could get to work in earnest on the development.  And then drank beer.

Now Kristen is going to help me develop my forecasts so I can determine how many accounts I need in order to make my first dollar and then my first billion and a half.  Oh yeah.
