the internets

Today I went to a conference on the internet - a little different from one on landfills. The booths were a bit different. The schwag was a lot different, no hats, golf tees, or put your business card in a jar for a drawing for a shotgun. (Occasionally I go to environmental type conferences where the schwag is a bit different yet again, lots of reusable bags, some odd dohicky made from something recycled)

Anyway, I have digressed, the schwag was different as the booths and names on the booths, some of the names were famous, some not so much, and the chance to win a new Apple Ipad has a couple of my business cards. - I never won the shotgun- the jury is still out on the ipad

the purpose of my attendance - in addition to my being a man of multiple interests? was to hear my cousin Dave speak. My registration was as a guest- I did not come up with the cash to be a regular attendee as it was quite expensive -and billed as international, and crowded and among featured speakers was the famous Doc as in my cousin
Here is Dave getting miked up prior to expounding on stuff and more items and them about the construction industry - earlier he had been on a panel with people from UNC school of journalism, FOX news from NYC and some others of note. That panel discussed the future and the role of journalism and the internet and communications. I asked about what were we going to do about the increase in the number of people who believe that the earth is flat.
and speaking of the internet, my son is now trying to make a million dollars with the internet. Apparently making a million is more difficult that he originally imagined. anyway his web site is http://www.kooziez.com/ check it out and by the way , I did not get an answer to my question. Stephen and Jen and a friend are selling on line koozies, hence the koozie name. you know drink can/bottle huggers.
