The last session of the conference for me is the repeat of Dana's security seminar. If you haven't seen Dana's sessions, you're really missing something. The main focus of his presentation was on using two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication is comprised of something you have and something you know. For example, your bankcard - you have the card...

I sat in on Anne Stanton's CRM Project Planning session this morning. CRM is an avenue I'm looking into, and I've worked with Anne on a couple of leads for CRM application implementations. She focused specifically on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM product, but the basic concepts can apply to all CRM applications in general. Anne started showing a project proposal...

I had a wonderful opportunity this evening to really do something very cool, at least for me. I got to see my home town Texas Rangers play the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field . The game went thirteen innings, and while my team ended up losing, it was a great game and worth the time. Oh, and did I mention that because of a few connections, I ended up watching...

OK, so even though I thought I would attend sessions in-between the market expo times, once again I ended up spending the day as a vendor at the Community booth. The good news, I was able to move a number of books not only at the table but also to people who will order online because they had no more room in their outgoing luggage. The bad news, I really missed...

Day 2 of SMB Nation 2006 opened with a keynote speech from conference organizer Harry Brelsford on the global reach of Microsoft's Small Business Specialist certification program. Actually, it was more of a group participation effort than a talking slide deck. Bob Hood announced Arlin Sorensen as the SBSer of the Year. Harry summarized the events of the last...

Well, after the keynote session this morning, my experience at SMB Nation took a very quick left turn. As such, with the exception of participating in the MVP Panel session, I did not attend another session during the day tracks so, as such, I have nothing to report on those. You see, yesterday I spent the day as a vendor, and it was quite a different experience...

The conference is ready to start. Some folks had a bit of an adventure getting here via one of the shuttles, but I'm sure that story will appear in at least one other blog, and since it didn't happen to me, I won't recount it here. Enjoyed the SBSC breakfast and got to meet several folks in person who I've had the opportunity to interact with online. The keynote...

First, a disclaimer. When I originally booked my flight from DFW to SEATAC, it was before the London airline threat discovery and prevention and the related elevated security alerts. So, at the time, a 6:30am departure flight didn't seem like such a big deal. However, in retrospect, what the $%@#^ was I thinking??? Anyway, I did manage to get a couple of hours...

OK, it's that time of year again. Time to pack the bags and get ready for the annual venture otherwise known as SMB Nation. This year is a bit different for me than last year, for a couple of reasons: I'm staying longer. I'm presenting this year. Yep, I really haven't had time to really shout it from the mountaintops, but the Mac in SBS presentation is going...
