last week my business partner, Bonnie, and I woke up to the fact that we’re falling behind on the technology front. Shameful, really, since our background stems from over 15 years each in the Semiconductor Industry in the San Francisco Bay Area’s Silcon Valley.
How did we wake up? Well, we attended a promotional products tradeshow (PPAI) and attended some educational classes. Was that an eye opener! Not only was Las Vegas with its theme casinos rather overwhelming, but the trade show and conference itself reminded us of our semiconductor days (but then we were an exhibitor, not attendees).
I think I attribute our technological relapse to “Mountain Living” – that state we’re now in having moved to Northern California and built a log home in a rural community just 17 miles outside of Lassen Volcanic National Park. Of course, owning your own business and having a home office has its advantages. Still…one needs to keep up with the times & use the latest and greatest tools of the trade.
So, here we are on the road to social networking, trying to do the right thing and learning as we go. I hope we can contribute enough to help people in some small way and also learn from the people we communicate with. Web 2.0 here we come!
