Got here at 9:30 to find a Panera Bread-catered breakfast. I must say the food choices for the weekend have been absolutely stellar, and I understand thanks for that are due to @Chris_Rader. My first task today was from Jeff, our Director of Marketing (a.k.a. Director of Fry Marketing), and it was to gather a … Read more
RTP Startup Weekend day two started at 9:00. We started yesterday with five startup companies, and by the end of today, one folded leaving us with four: MyFriesSuck, scavenja, barsforus, and dealcastr. I sauntered in at 9:30, and the team was already at it. They were all sitting around a conference table, mostly looking at—or interacting … Read more
I arrived at Edge Office at just after six to a pretty decent crowd already. First thing I did was set up my laptop to start the “note taking process.” Next was check-in with Jason DiMambro, from whom I secured my t-shirt. There was a table of goodies, which included, but was not limited to: … Read more
I met @waynesutton, @theRab, @mattrmiller, @DiMambro, and @dtraleigh, for a mini-Triangle TweetUp at noon at the new Martin Street Pizza. I had the “one slice, side salad, and a drink for $5.99” special. Both the pizza and the salad were primo. At one point @waynesutton had two phones out, which made me laugh for two … Read more

We each had their killer, killer French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side order of bacon—which … Read more
I met my friend Myra for lunch today at Rockford. Myra is such good people. I love that she’s in my life. I had their Pimento Cheese sandwich, and Myra had their Roast Beef sandwich. When our waitperson enumerated the sides, I got “potato salad,” “black-eyed peas,” but didn’t quite get what the third option … Read more
Well one out of two ain’t bad—I was bushy-tailed this morning (can’t help it, really), but I wasn’t bright-eyed. Nonetheless, I did get to the gym at just after 7:00, and it was a cardio-only day for me. In anticipation of Robert’s arrival this afternoon from NYC and having seen Wicked, while I worked out, … Read more
I worked from home today. I finished Jim’s final edit, and I canceled my one-on-one meeting with my manager, with both of us agreeing that it was unnecessary today. I went to the gym late in the afternoon, in time to finish up my routine for Free Pizza Monday. It was good to get back … Read more
