Although I am a crazy hockey fan, I do enjoy watching football as well. Being from Pittsburgh we usually always have a good team so the games are a lot of fun to watch. This year the Steelers made it all the way to the Super Bowl, the second time in 3 years! Not many…
IANteract Dinner at Rum Jungle
Well as many of you know I was in Las Vegas for CES, but also Affiliate Summit West was going on towards the end of our stay in Vegas. I debated on whether to attend the show or not, but I decided against it because I was already crushed with work for ThinkComputers. I know…
The CES 2009 Swag
If there is one thing you always walk away with from any trade show it is swag, free goodies that companies give away when you come to their booth to look at their products. Looking back at what all I got last year I probably got half as much if not less this year. The…
The Night Before CES Party
One thing that is always great about CES is the parties. Every year that I’ve gone to CES I’ve attended the night before CES party. This year it was hosted by Redux, Futurelooks, and Techware Labs. They picked an awesome place to have the party too, on the 56th floor of the newly-built Palms Place…
2009 PC Race for Charity
Every year at CES I make it a point to make it to the Tiger Direct PC Race for Charity. Mainly because it is good to do something for charity and it has some of the best food out of all of the press events during CES. The PC Race is a PC building competition…
Finally Back From Vegas
Wow what an amazing week I’ve just had. If you didn’t know I was in Vegas for the Consumer Electronics show. I love going to CES, not just for the show, but to just get away. When I left Vegas I was wearing at t-shirt and it was sunny, when I got into Pittsburgh it…

Black Friday is Tomorrow!
Well tomorrow is the day, Black Friday. It is the craziest shopping day of the year! People start heading to stores at 3-4am trying to be first in line to get the best deals of the day. Honestly it is insane, people basically killing each other for a better deal on a TV or Laptop….
My First Game of the Season
As most of you know I’m a huge hockey fan! Hockey is my favorite sport and I usually make it out to 4 or 5 penguins games a year. Usually I don’t go till later in the year but my friend Brian was nice enough to invite me to the game against the Flyers, of…
Ad:Tech San Francisco – XY7
As I said Ad:Tech was the first marketing event that I have been to. Even so I had heard of most of the companies that were exhibiting there. One name I heard a lot was XY7, funny thing was I had never heard of XY7 at all, weird because they seemed like they were the…
Dinners at Ad:Tech
With any conference there are dinners. It is a good way to catch up with old friends who you only get to see a few times a year. Also it is a great way to network and meet new people. Ad:tech is only 3 days long so there was not that many dinners to attend,…
Ad:Tech San Francisco – CPA Empire
Since this was my first time going to an event like ad:tech I did not know what to expect. The show is sure a lot smaller than CES and other tech related events that I’ve been to. There were speaker sessions and an exhibit hall. The exhibit hall is where all the networks and companies…
Visiting the Justin.tv Office
Since I was in San Francisco for ad:tech I decided I would stop by the Justin.tv office and say what’s up to the Justin.tv staff. It is really cool being able to go to the offices of a website or service you use. The Justin.tv staff was more than happy to let us come and…

Pittco 8 Weekend!
Well I took a few days off from Blogging to have a little fun. This past weekend was Pittco 8, Pittsburgh’s largest LAN party! Last year I talked about going to the event and this year was just as fun. As I had said before I used to be on Pittco staff, but because of…
