One more week before Jeff Middleton, Cliff Galiher, and Jessica DeVita hit San Francisco for the SMBMVPTour stop.

Remember the bay bridge will be closed so come up the Pennisula or take the Bart and get off at the Powell/Market stop.

You think Santa is being tracked by Norad? Well the SMBMVPtour is borrowing his hat tonight.

Don't forget that more tour events are starting up in 2012 with one of the first being in the Netherlands on January 18th!

Heading home from the San Diego SMBMVPTour event

bradley — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:31:00 GMT

On the train heading back from San Diego to home where we celebrated the season with a bit of geekdom and holiday cheer. As you can see we took a cue from the date on the calendar and decorated the last session (Swing migration) for the holiday season.

We even powered up usb Christmas trees from the HP thin client/zero clients we were using in the MultiPoint demos.

The meeting location was very inspiring. http://herahub.com/ It's a collaborative work space that allows women to rent a work space outside the home. When they arrive, they put their business card on a board indicating they are available for meetings. There are shared workspaces, private conference rooms, and kitchen resources to allow for the Woman powered microbusiness to grow.

On the walls were inspirational sayings that fit in with the small business empowerment of the venue and topics given.

There will be a few more tour stops in 2012. Sign up on www.smbmvptour.com to be alerted to when these occur.

Ready for San Diego!

I'm going down to San Diego to help out with the final tour stop of 2011 this Saturday. It looks to be a great line up with Jeff Middleton, Cliff Galiher, and Jessica DeVita.

Looking forward to seeing folks from the San Diego area!

Don't you love the Gnome's accessory?

bradley — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 08:35:00 GMT

The SMBMVP tour gnome in Scotland. Accessorized with an HP proliant Microserver in black.

What? Don't know what the Gnome is about? it's the mascot for the www.smbmvptour.com tour.

A lot of SMBism in the air

bradley — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 06:55:00 GMT

One of the slides in the smbmvptour is this one that tries to capture all of the possibilities we have for SMBism from Microsoft these days.

HP is also stepping up to the place with their hardware offerings as well....
