360Flex – The Speakers – (Dr.) Eric Fickes
Me: This is gonna be your first 360|Flex isn’t it? That’s gotta be exciting.
Eric: You know it. I’m really excited to finally be attending, even better that I’m speaking, double whammy yo’!
Me: No doubt, enter the 360|Flex scene with a bang. So, what do you think people who attend your session will be most surprised by/about?
Eric: People are going to attend my session? no seriously, anybody who knows me will mostly be surprised I’m not wearing a baseball hat.
Me: What? Why the hell not!? You better not get all punk ass and show up in khaki’s and a polo or something! I’ll have to sic Jesse Warden on ya!
(Eric shakes his head no. )

Me: Thanks for picking me up. Sure I can’t convince you to grab lunch somewhere else? Chili’s Fudruckers? a Rescue mission?
360Flex – The Speakers – Andy Powell
I was at the annual Voltron convention in Colorado Springs this past weekend, when I ran into Andy Powell.
I certainly wasn’t expecting to run into anyone I knew at the VoltronCon, let alone a speaker at 360|Flex San Jose!
Me: Hey man, what’re you doing in Colorado Springs?
Andy: Chillaxin.. checking out Voltron stuff. Thinking about my presentation for 360|Flex San Jose.
Gift Idea: Conference Pass vs New Gadget
As the holidays are coming up, we find there is the proverbial question: “What would you like for a gift?” I know for me, it’s a tough question. It’s not tough for me like it is for say my 5 yr old. He changes what he wants Santa to give him almost [...]
