It's been a while


Since my last blog posting, a few things have happened that are noteworthy.

First, my daughter's college graduation, magna cum laude from Tufts. My college son is home too and between the two of them, they are on the Hawaiian time zone, asleep at 4 am and up again at 12 noon.

Second, a number of new clients in the for-profit and the nonprofit spheres, which is always a good sign. Perhaps the economy is reawakening?

Third, new products virtually for free: a wireless credit card terminal for merchants who go to the client, rather than the traditional vice-versa way, and an IP-capable desktop terminal for retailers with the latest in VOIP telecommunications.

Finally, LinkedIn is kicking! Many new contacts and new ways of gaining exposure which is crucial in this industry. I am presenting in New York City to a group of accountants early this week; one of a number of presentations I am asked to make, which is outside my normal area of expertise, but helps me meet new people.

It's always been the networking that I really enjoy at the end of the day. People helping people. Til the next installment...
