meet, share ideas and develop your network.
Created a new moo card for my networking group called ExecTec. I like these little cards and I think they will be great for handing out to potential members.
Just a little will ruin your day!
A little corrosion can stop a web 2.0 company in it’s tracks. In this case my company could not process credit card transactions as this little bit of joy was wedged in along side of the terminal block in the “can” on the street. Click here to see it in all its glory. Had it not been for the incredibly nice guy who is replacing the “Can” I would have waited a day...

Will WiMAX be a 3G killer, or is it vice versa? →
Interesting article on WiMax vs 3G. I think the fact that 3G owns the existing infrastructure is the real important point in this debate. WiMax is a great idea which will never be unless someone is willing to invest in the infrastructure and 3G took a bit of a free ride on cellulars back.

Constant Contact goes public
These fine folk have been helping many people take their message public for quite some time. Now they have taken their company public and it looks like their life as a publicly traded stock is off to a nice start. If you ever have need to send out marketing emails their service is well worth checking out. If you look at many of the better email materials you get, you will often see their logo...
